Shoshana Ort, LCSW's style

Why Shoshana Ort, LCSW chose to be in the helping profession

From a young age, I felt deeply attuned to the struggles and emotions of those around me. I’ve always been fascinated by the strength people carry, even in the hardest moments, and I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others uncover that strength within themselves. Becoming a therapist wasn’t just a career choice—it was a calling.

What drives me is the belief that change is always possible, and that every person deserves to feel truly seen, understood, and supported. I chose this profession because I know how powerful it can be when someone has a safe space to explore, heal, and grow. My passion is walking alongside individuals and couples on that journey, helping them discover new ways to thrive and create the lives and relationships they long for.

Shoshana Ort, LCSW's approach

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to carry life’s challenges alone. My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration—I don’t see myself as the expert on your life, but as a guide who helps you uncover the strengths and clarity you already hold within.

Using evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Imago techniques, EMDR, IFS, and other modalities, I focus on creating real, lasting change. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be holding you back, break free from cycles of disconnection or overwhelm, and build healthier, more meaningful relationships—with yourself and with the people you love.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, unhealthy relationships with your body and or food, or the weight of daily stress, I bring warmth, nonjudgment, and practical tools to help you move forward. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, and empowered to create the life and connections you long for.

Shoshana Ort, LCSW's experience working with the Jewish community

As someone who grew up in and continues to be a part of the Jewish community, I bring a deep understanding of Jewish life and the unique challenges that come with it. I know firsthand the beauty and richness of our traditions, as well as the pressures and complexities that can arise within this framework.

For my Jewish clients, this shared background means you don’t have to spend time explaining the intricacies of our customs, laws, and lifestyle before getting to the heart of what you want to address. This understanding creates a space where we can dive straight into the issues that matter most to you, whether they’re personal struggles, family dynamics, or challenges within the community itself.

I’m here to support you with sensitivity and insight, helping you navigate your journey while staying true to yourself and your values.
