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 experienced within many core areas of life including personal identity, relationships, family, and overall wellbeing.  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.

My passion for counseling ignited while volunteering my time supporting adults facing poverty and other profound hardships. Time and again, I saw a heartbreaking pattern - a childhood overshadowed by neglect, physical and/or emotional pain, and, for some, even abuse by those meant to protect them. These stories touched me deeply and fueled my desire and commitment to do more.  After earning my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling, I began my career serving marginalized and underserved communities through a local state-funded clinic. It was there, in the rawness of people's pain and the quiet courage of their healing, that I witnessed the profound depths of human resilience. These years were not just formative - they were transformative. 

Now in private practice, I work alongside my clients to identify and release significant emotional barriers that have disrupted their lives - transforming pain into wisdom, struggle into strength, and creating space for a life that feels more whole, balanced, and deeply fulfilling.
