Shalva Waldman M.Sc.

Your life looks pretty good. It's basically working.

But inside, something is misaligned. Something raw.
Stuck, overwhelmed, or not the way it could be.

You’ve tried to understand it. Thought about it, read about it, tried a few therapists. You aren’t the type to give up, but you can see this isn’t leading to real change.

​

A Different Kind of Therapy

​

This is not talk therapy in circles.

We work directly with what is happening beneath the surface, in a focused, experiential, and precise way.

The goal is not just insight.
The goal is change you can feel, and that continues outside the room.

​

How I Work

​

I draw from multiple approaches, including IFS, EMDR, MR and somatic work.

​

But the work is not about modality. It is about you becoming more fully yourself.

Safer. More embodied. More expressed. More aligned and alive.
Connected within, above, and with others.

​

We focus on:

• accessing what is actually happening internally

• working with it in a way that is safe, experiential and effective

• moving toward clearly defined, meaningful goals

 

This is active, collaborative work.

​

I do my best work with...

​

I work best with women who have the capacity for complexity, self-reflection, and courage.

​

Many have been in therapy before and are tired of feeling stuck.

They are often intuitive, thoughtful, or fast-thinking, with a rich inner world that does not always translate easily into daily life. They have big souls and quiet spiritual yearnings.

Many have been through significant trauma, including shock trauma, complex trauma, relational trauma, and abuse. The pain runs deep.

They have a clear sense that something is not where they want it to be, a deeper sense that life could offer more, and a real readiness and willingness to name it and change it.

​

Not the Right Fit If...

​

You are looking primarily for a space to vent or be supported without working toward change.

You prefer an open-ended process without clear goals.

You are not in a place to engage consistently.

You are currently in crisis and need more immediate support.

​

Individuals and Couples

​

I work primarily with adult women.

I also work with couples when both partners have self-awareness, take responsibility for their patterns, and are willing to work on themselves within the relationship.

I do not take on couples work in cases of active addiction, ongoing abuse, or significant untreated psychiatric conditions.

​

A Selective Practice

​

I take on a limited number of clients and am intentional about who I work with.

If this resonates, you are welcome to reach out for a brief Zoom consultation to see if it feels like the right fit.
