Malka Shaw

I'm Malka Shaw, a licensed psychotherapist with over twenty five years in the field. My training is in trauma, and EMDR has been a core part of how I work for a long time now. Most of my clients are women navigating a real shift, dating again after years out of the field, going through a divorce or a breakup, becoming a mother, working through midlife issues, or dealing with work related stress and burnout. I work with couples trying to figure out what comes next, whether that means rebuilding or moving on.  Beyond the therapy room, my work has expanded into antisemitism, Jewish identity, resilience building, and the psychology of indoctrination and radicalization, areas in which I speak, teach, and train organizations across the country.
