Hello! I'm Dr. Shira Benhorin and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children (3+), adolescents, and families with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and social concerns, including behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, ADHD, school challenges, social difficulties, and parent-child challenges. I offer individual and family therapy, as well as parent training sessions. I also specialize in working with children with Feeding Disorders/ARFID (extreme food selectivity, limited oral intake), and LGBTQ+ youth and families.
I received training and worked in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient, inpatient, day and residential programs, university counseling center, and a pediatric hospital. I completed my postdoctoral psychology fellowship at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital where I later served as the Director of Pediatric Psychology Feeding Disorder services.
I take a holistic, strength-based, affirming, and collaborative approach to therapy. I use empirically validated interventions, including Client Centered therapy, Collaborative & Proactive Solutions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Growth Mindset, and Mindfulness.
