Larry Shapiro, PhD
Psychologist
St. Louis MO
I work with individuals who feel stuck—often after therapy or medication for anxiety, depression, or PTSD hasn’t brought the relief they were hoping for. Many have put in real effort and are looking for a different way forward, including those experiencing what is often described as treatment-resistant depression or anxiety. I often work with thoughtful, motivated individuals frustrated by the sense that they “should be” doing better by now. I believe small, intentional shifts can lead to meaningful change, especially when paired with purposeful effort and a willingness to be challenged. In addition to treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, I help people navigate major life transitions such as divorce or career change, the effects of childhood trauma (including abuse or bullying), end-of-life anxiety, and adult ADHD. See my website at quantumbehavioral.com for additional specialites.
I am a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience licensed in Missouri and New Jersey, and a member of PsyPact which allows me to practice Telehealth in 43 states.
In addition to my clinical work, I am an Adjunct Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine where I lecture on cognitive-behavioral approaches to OCD and panic disorder, interviewing skills, combat trauma, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. I am a lead therapist at the Health Mind Lab where we investigate the effects of psychedelics on depression and anxiety. I also serve as a clinical advisor to the Center for Holistic Interdisciplinary Research in Psychedelics (CHIRP).
