About My Specialties
Shoshana Wortman, Psy.D.
​My speciality areas center on the themes of anxiety, grief, and trauma. These can be seen in several populations as well as a variety of roots to these difficulties. I will work with children and adults to help identify and understand why they may be feeling the way that they do, and change their relationship with their thoughts, feelings and behaviors about self, others or the world. I will also help them to accept, validate and heal from how they feel despite distress that may accompany those emotions and experiences.
​
​Some specific speciality areas are infertility, pregnancy loss, general loss (death, relationship, life transitions, etc) and trauma. These have all become areas that I feel passionately about, and recognize the complex emotions that accompany them. In addition to my clinical work, I act as a consulting clinical supervisor for a trauma service center. I feel that the thread that connects my specialties is my desire to help people to understand themselves more, decrease a sense of isolation or being misunderstood, and increase a sense of balance.
