About me
Do you feel overwhelmed in trying to deal with a close personal relationship? Are you feeling blocked or frustrated in expressing your feelings to your partner? Have you lost interest or passion in your relationship? Is honest communication lacking? Are the challenges of parenting too much to handle? Life situations can be stressful and can lead us to question our judgment and fill us with self-doubt. This, in turn, can wear away at the fiber of intimate relationships. You try to address the issue, sometimes with the support of family and friends, but this often does not lead to effective solutions. You may become depressed, frustrated, angry or anxious, or have difficulty managing your daily responsibilities.
I am a Florida licensed Psychologist with over 30 years experience working in private practice and a variety of public settings, including clinics, hospitals, universities and correctional facilities. I served as expert witness in forensic cases involving trauma, head injury and custody. I am a bi-lingual (Spanish/English) therapist working with individuals, families and couples from different backgrounds.
I develop a solution-focused dialogue to identify the problems that bring you in and re-frame them into realistic, workable goals. My aim is for you to leave each session feeling that you have learned a new way to approach your specific situation with strategies to try until our next appointment. My objective is to make every session productive. I combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapeutic approaches in therapy.
My goal is to help the couple improve communication and build resilience in dealing with life’s stresses. I focus on life skills coaching, parent guidance, problem solving, cognitive restructuring, and remediation using behavioral and practical strategies.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sarita Schapiro. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Amazing! She has been extremely helpful to my wife and me.
Dr. Schapiro has helped my boyfriend and I better be able to work through conflicts and challenging times. Since speaking with her and using her techniques our relationship has become so much healthier!
Dr schapiro has some great feedback
Dr. Shapiro's approach is very professional and her experience is evident in how she handles sessions. She's punctual, keep the session on task and works with you to set up the next one as she knows it is difficult to find available times.
Dr Schapiro is wise and steady. She does a great job of drawing out what may be bothering me and always has great recommendations for working through issues.
Very helpful
Dr. S gave us the opportunity to reflect on ourselves. She is professional, thoughtful, and consistently gave us useful feedback. My wife and I are grateful to have worked with her and stronger as a result.
I like sr schapiro approach
Great
Dr. Schapiro is amazing. My marriage would have run aground were it not for her help. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support Dr. Schapiro!
A therapist that really digs deep and asks questions. Listens to you and helps you understand yourself better. I myself am not one to talk or open up but she knew what to ask and when to ask to pry things out of me so she could help me. 10/10 would definitely recommend
She’s an amazing person with the little time I had with her she’s has helped me slowly build my confidence up. I love talking to her because I know she listens and gives me homework and her honest opinion and advice which is 100%effective I should say
Very insightful and attentive
