Meet Our Founder
At Magenta Therapy, we are proud to be a woman-owned practice, founded by Emilia Shapiro, LCSW, a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples find healing, clarity, and connection.
Emilia believes that therapy should feel like a safe, compassionate space where every person feels truly heard and supported. With years of experience guiding people through challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship struggles, and life transitions, she has built Magenta Therapy on the values of empathy, collaboration, and empowerment.
Her vision is to create a practice where clients don’t just receive treatment but also discover the tools and confidence to grow, heal, and thrive in their lives and relationships.
“Therapy is not just about treating symptoms—it’s about helping people rediscover their strength, rebuild trust in themselves, and create the life they deserve.” – Emilia Shapiro, LCSW
Through Magenta Therapy, Emilia’s mission is to make professional, evidence-based mental health care accessible, welcoming, and deeply human—so everyone has the opportunity to receive the support they need to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
