Shiri Kaczur, MA, Licensed Professional Counselor

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Whole Body Psychotherapy! I specialize in working with adults on challenges which are experienced within many core areas of life including personal identity, relationships, family, and career.  Whether you've been in counseling before, or are exploring this type of support for the first time, I hope you find this site helpful in deciding if my approach could be a good fit for your needs.

I discovered my passion for counseling while volunteering my time supporting adults who were struggling to overcome poverty and other significant hardships. Quite often, a common thread between them was a childhood wrought with difficult circumstances where physical and/or emotional needs were neglected by parents or caregivers, and, worse yet, used as a focus of abuse. After completing my master's in clinical mental health counseling, I continued to support disadvantaged populations like these by providing therapeutic services for my community sponsored mental health system. Building upon the foundation of my experiences, I became trained in several proven, evidenced-based, trauma and distress-mitigating modalities, such as EMDR/ART, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy.

Now in private practice, I guide my clients in their journeys to repair, heal, and move on from deeply rooted traumas and wounds of the past, which often interfere with living a balanced and fulfilling life.
