Shirin Shoai
Psychotherapist, Certified IFS Therapist - LMFT
Hey there. If you’ve found your way to my profile, you’re experiencing some distressing challenges in your life—maybe in your career, your relationships, or your overall sense of well being. Maybe you’ve been meaning to make some important changes, but you’re not sure where to start. Or, you’ve been in therapy before, and you’re ready to try a new approach or deepen the work from where you are now.
We might be a good fit if you want help with:
– clarifying your needs in relationship, getting out of it what you’re putting in, or deciding whether you even want one
– setting healthy boundaries around your time, emotional energy, or activities
– navigating life after the loss of a person, job, relationship, or life stage—or anticipating a difficult transition
– letting go of behavioral patterns based in relational trauma or childhood emotional neglect
– building resilience to shame, rejection, and criticism—especially your own inner critic
– supporting changes that increase self-esteem, autonomy, and confidence
– reflecting on issues of identity, purpose, and meaning: expressing who you know you are amidst cultural or family expectations
As your therapist, I offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space reserved just for you. Visit my website at www.sitwithshirin.com to learn more about me and my approach, or get in touch today for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
