Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
I believe that even in the middle of a crisis, there is a real opportunity for profound growth. My path to understanding the human condition began in the theater and the study of Method Acting, where I learned to look beneath the surface to explore how internal experience drives outward behavior. This "inside-out" perspective remains central to my work: helping you align your internal reality with your external actions.
Over my 20-year career, my approach has continually evolved. After graduating from top universities and training programs, I was mentored by leading experts in trauma, addictions, and relationship dynamics. This foundation led me to establish a successful group practice in Orange County, teach psychology at UC Irvine, and serve on the Board of Directors and as Chair of the Professional Practice Committee for the Orange County Psychological Association.
However, my career is only part of the story. In the midst of professional achievement, I navigated a deep personal crisis and divorce that transformed my understanding of therapy. This led me on my own journey of growth—including seven years living in Asia, studying with Buddhist monks, and caring for local villagers.
What I offer today is an integration of rigorous academic training and Eastern wisdom. My decision to practice psychology grows from a sincere desire to relieve suffering and transform life's hardships into catalysts for self-actualization. I combine empirical psychological methods with the cultivation of an "awakened heart"—a state of genuine presence, nervous system regulation, and deep connection to what matters most.
What to Expect in Our First Session
Our first meeting is about more than cataloging problems; it is an opportunity to assess the "internal climate" of your life. Together, we will examine the patterns that are no longer serving you, identify where old narratives or high-pressure reactions have you "hooked," and see what is holding you back from living authentically.
I believe therapy should offer a shift in perspective from the very first hour. You will leave our initial session with practical, evidence-based tools designed to settle your "biological alarm" and transition your nervous system from a state of defense to one of openness and flexibility. By the end of our first meeting, we will begin clarifying a personalized roadmap for long-term change, leaving you with immediate skills to start shifting your life from day one.
Core Strengths & Therapeutic Philosophy
A Life Dedicated to Inner Work: I don't ask you to do work I haven't done myself. My insights stem from extensive clinical training, decades of deep meditation, and navigating my own pivotal life transitions. I bring a perspective that is both seasoned and deeply empathetic.
Creating a Foundation of Safety: True change requires safety. By blending a warm, collaborative connection with a structured success plan, I help you settle constant internal alarm systems, moving you from the exhaustion of perpetual "doing" into a grounded state of "being."
Moving Toward What Truly Matters: I help you spot the cycle of avoidance—the habits we build to run away from pain or fear—and redirect your energy toward positive growth, core values, and meaningful action.
A Strategic, Personal Roadmap: I reject one-size-fits-all, standardized protocols. By strategically blending evidence-based practices (CBT, ACT, Clinical Hypnosis, Imago, and Structural Family concepts) with Eastern principles, we build a customized success plan designed specifically for your life.
Who I Work Best With
I specialize in working with adults and professionals who feel stuck at a critical crossroads—whether navigating a major life or career transition, relationship strain, burnout, trauma, or a recurring pattern they are ready to break.
My clients appreciate insight, structure, and forward movement. They want more than a space to vent; they are ready to understand themselves deeply and take concrete steps toward lasting change.

Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
What distinguishes my practice is the breadth of perspective I bring — decades in the healing professions, first as a Registered Nurse and subsequently as a counselor — affording me a genuinely holistic understanding of the individuals I serve. My Christian faith and regard for Biblical truth provide the foundation for all that I do, yet I welcome clients of any background who desire growth grounded in traditional values. If you have found that surface-level approaches fall short of what you need, and you seek someone who will thoughtfully and faithfully accompany you through life's more difficult terrain, I would be honored to speak with you.

Omer Harari
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hi! My name is Omer and I'm a licensed therapist based in LA. My expertise is in supporting my clients understand themselves on a deeper level, recover from trauma, foster joy and improve relationships. Together, we’ll build awareness around anxieties, fears, triggers, or conflicts that get in the way of connection with others. We’ll work to identify your needs and further develop skills to communicate them. We'll spend time calling attention to beliefs, behaviors, "shoulds" and narratives that might no longer serve you. My approach to therapy is integrative and rooted in a relational lens, focusing on attachments, dynamics, and narratives. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+, men, creative professionals, and people facing life transitions such as coming out, starting a new career, or entering parenthood.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
What makes my practice different is the genuine, human connection I bring into the therapy space, along with a direct and honest approach. I’m not here to “fix” you or simply tell you what you want to hear. I’m here to meet you where you are—with warmth, compassion, and without judgment, while also being willing to challenge you when it can help you grow.
My approach is deeply humanistic, which means I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of problems. I create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel truly seen and understood.
I keep therapy down-to-earth, authentic, and collaborative, while helping you build greater self-awareness and reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and resilience. I’ll listen deeply, ask the hard questions, and offer honest perspective when it’s needed. Because sometimes growth means having someone in your corner who can both support you and gently push you forward.
