Ariel Shapiro

I’m a queer- and neurodiversity-affirming licensed clinical social worker specializing in therapy for children, teens, and young adults (ages 8–35), as well as caregivers. I support clients navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, stress, and identity exploration. My approach is trauma-informed, creative, and collaborative, drawing from narrative therapy, play therapy, expressive arts, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic practices. Therapy may involve conversation, storytelling, movement, or creative expression—whatever best supports your needs. I’m committed to culturally responsive, anti-oppressive care and creating a space where all parts of you are welcome, respected, and supported.
