Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi there! My name is Shira Collings (she/they). I am a feminist, neurodiversity affirming, queer and trans affirming, fat affirming, and disability justice aligned therapist. I am passionate about supporting people in living a life that is aligned with their true values, and healing from both external and internalized oppression that may be impacting their well-being. Some of my areas of specialization include eating disorders and disordered eating, body image, neurodiversity, grief and loss, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is primarily based in person-centered and feminist approaches. This means I strive to create a space in which clients can express their full, authentic selves and share their stories without shame or judgment. I also have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Additionally, I regularly incorporate self-compassion, expressive arts, philosophy and pop culture, and self-advocacy skills into my approach.
I would be honored to be part of your journey. I look forward to getting to know you and collaborating on the path toward healing and liberation!

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, research has found online therapy to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make consistent participation easier to sustain.
Therapy delivered remotely is provided by licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists at any time if someone needs a different fit. The convenience and accessibility of online options can help people access support when and how they need it most.
