Hello!
Hafsa Shibli, LMHC
We all have patterns. Some are helpful, some are outdated, and some really need to stop getting invited to the party.
Therapy is a space to understand where those patterns came from, how they shape the way we relate to ourselves and others, and whether they’re still serving us. I specialize in trauma, including complex and betrayal trauma, attachment and relational concerns, anxiety, and depression. I work with individuals and couples, bringing this same lens to relationships—because what happens within us inevitably affects how we show up with each other.
I don’t believe therapy is about checking boxes or having someone tell you how to live your life. I draw from DBT and IFS, but the work is always shaped around you—not a textbook. Whether we’re working through trauma, relationship patterns, or simply trying to understand why you do what you do, we’ll focus on what’s actually getting in your way.
I bring warmth, honesty, curiosity, and humor to the room, because growth can be challenging without needing to be miserable. My goal is to help you feel more grounded in yourself, more intentional in your relationships, and better equipped to create a life that actually feels like your own.
About Me: I received my BA/BS in Sociology and Psychology from Tulane University and my Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Hunter College. I continued on to complete the 2-year Integrated Trauma Studies Program and EMDR Certification from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. Outside of my work as a Mental Health Counselor, I enjoy go to Pilates, try to keep my plants alive, and am constantly experimenting with new recipes.
Finding the right therapist for you can feel frustratingly difficult sometimes. If my approach does not fit your needs, I would be happy to provide you with a list of referrals!
