I am strength base therapist who focuses on personal growth.

Hello, I'm Dr. Karen Shatz, I am committed to guiding individuals through the intricate interplay of societal influences on personal narratives. With expertise in identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and self-empowerment, my approach aims to provide a warm, collaborative space for you to challenge and reshape limiting beliefs. I'm here to empower you to navigate life's complexities authentically. Ready to embark on a transformative journey? Contact me for support in deconstructing societal influences and shaping your unique narrative.

I’m Alan Romano, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I believe that many of the struggles we experience are understandable responses to life experiences rather than signs that something is inherently wrong with us.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and later completed training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness-based practices, psychodynamic principles, and attachment theory. Rather than following a single model, I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, experiences, and goals.

In therapy, we'll work together to understand not only what is happening in your life today, but also how your experiences, relationships, and nervous system have shaped the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen resilience, and develop practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're navigating trauma, addiction, grief, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I strive to provide a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the healing process.

Midlife got you spinning? Not feeling yourself? Empty nest blues?

Midlife brings an undercurrent of change that few are completely prepared for. For decades, your time, energy, and identity may have been anchored by familiar roles—running a busy household, climbing a career ladder, or maintaining long-standing family dynamics. When those roles shift by way of an empty nest, career evolution, relationship changes, or retirement, the silence left behind can feel surprisingly heavy.

Many expect to feel a sense of relief or simple pride during this season. Instead, it’s incredibly common to find yourself wrestling with grief, anxiety, or a persistent question: Who am I now?

If you are feeling disconnected from your purpose, uncertain about the future, or struggling to adjust to a new pace of life, you are not alone. You haven’t lost yourself; you are simply navigating the space between who you once were and who you are becoming.

Areas of Focus

• Midlife Transitions & Role Shifts
• Self-Discovery & Identity Reconstruction
• Empty Nest Adjustment
• Grief, Loss, and Navigating Change
• Anxiety, Stress, and Uncertainty About the Future

My goal is to help you reconnect with your core self—not just through the roles you play for others, but as a whole person with your own distinct needs, interests, and dreams. Remember when you had needs? This isn't about starting over from scratch; it’s about reconstructing your life so that it feels deeply meaningful, aligned, and fulfilling for the years ahead.
