Shirley Shani Ben Zvi
Grief doesn't always come from loss of life. It can follow the end of a relationship, a career, a home, or a chapter of life - even if you chose it. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and seniors who are navigating all kinds of loss, helping them find solid ground again. My modality is solution-focused, meaning we work one session at a time: as long as you want to work with me, and not one session more. You are the expert on your own life, and I trust that completely. I am the sidekick to your hero. Our work will be anchored in hope - not for unicorns to fly above us and drop rainbows on our heads, but for a realistic best version of yourself in a less-than-okay world. If you're ready to take one step forward - even a small one - I'd be honored to be your partner on this new path.
Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy has a few essentials: 1. You are the expert of your life. 2. I ask you for your best hope, because this is where we are going. We're not going back to your past, unless you want to. 3. We work together as long as you want to. Not one session more. 4. I am fully transparent - ask me anything.
