Vicki Shulof Psy D

I am a psychotherapist with over thirty years of experience guiding individuals and couples towards profound personal growth and lasting change. Working with clients across diverse backgrounds and presenting a wide range of concerns has been an enriching privilege. Each encounter is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I am deeply grateful for the privilege of accompanying people on their journeys.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy with me is a collaborative process. We will work together to identify and understand the challenges you face, while developing effective strategies to manage them. I utilize various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic approaches. My aim is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your concerns, process emotions, and develop tools to empower yourself.

Healthy relationships are vital to overall well-being. I offer couples therapy to strengthen communication, enhance intimacy, and resolve conflict. We can work on issues such as communication breakdowns, infidelity, financial stress, and intimacy difficulties. My approach is solution-focused and practical, with a focus on fostering mutual understanding, respect, and teamwork.
