Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Spirituality is a very important aspect of life for many people. For individuals with a very developed spiritual life working with a therapist who is understanding and supportive of their spirituality can be very helpful. For others who may be wanting to connect more deeply with spirituality it can be useful to include that as a focus within the therapy. As a psychotherapist I am very comfortable working with people with a wide range of spiritual beliefs. Sometimes I have knowledge about the the spiritual beliefs the person finds meaning in and other times my clients educate me bout spiritual topics and views I don't yet know about. My approach is to be highly supportive of incorporating spirituality into the therapy. Rather than trying to impose my own spiritual views or beliefs I strive to understand the beliefs and practices that have meaning to my clients and to help them to find ways of connecting with and using those beliefs to support them in their daily lives. Personally, I find a great deal of value from my study and practice of Buddhism. I am glad to engage with clients about Buddhist ideas and practices if these have meaning to the person but I only do so when invited, and in doing so I strive to find ways of it supporting the client's therapy.

I believe spirituality can play a major role in some individual's mental health. I always honor whatever beliefs people have about their own spirituality. In addition to my degree in Clinical Psychology, I have a MA in Spiritual Psychology.

Often when trauma occurs, our spirituality becomes fragmented from us in a moment where our survival is the most critical. For others, spiritual parts of self can be cut off due to religious trauma and the fear of remembering who we truly are. I can help guide you through the difficult process of integrating and remembering who you really are, beyond the trauma of what has happened to you.

I believe that at times it is difficult for us to see things clearly. My goal is to help you re-adjust your way of looking at yourself and your world, and to help you realize what is possible. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship that develops between you and me.
