Gila Shapiro, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate emotional, relational, and sexual challenges. I provide therapy to clients across California and Ohio. My style is warm, straightforward, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship stress, or navigating a major life transition, I offer a focused and collaborative space where meaningful change can happen. In addition to my core clinical training, I am an Aasect Certified Sex Therapist. I welcome and encourage open conversations about sexuality, helping clients explore this essential part of their lives in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Specialties include: Anxiety and stress-related concerns, self-esteem and sexual issues. I understand that choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming. If you’re considering therapy or have questions about the process, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation-please feel free to reach out.

As a therapist, I see my role as both a guide and a facilitator ? creating a safe, collaborative space where you can slow down, explore what?s keeping you stuck, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. I integrate evidence-based approaches with a warm, supportive style, helping you gain clarity, reduce anxiety, and build more meaningful connections in your life.
