in Baltimore, MD and virtually
Hi, I’m Shir (they/he), founder of WTC.
I’m a clinical social worker, EMDR certified therapist, and EMDRIA approved consultant with over a decade of experience providing therapy to kids, teens and adults. My specializations include trauma, eating disorders, OCD and anxiety, and neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, etc) as well as gender and sexuality and supporting LGBTQ+ young people and their families. I offer standard EMDR, Child/Adolescent EMDR, EMDR tailored to autistic clients and ADHDers, and a variety of advanced EMDR interventions, including for recent and ongoing traumatic events, eating disorders, and complex trauma. In addition to EMDR, I use approaches such as IFS informed parts work, somatic experiencing, Safe and Sound Protocol and inference based CBT (for OCD). I am committed to a liberation focused healing framework and to anti-carceral care.
