Miriam Shapiro PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist serving adults and couples from an office at 1123 Clairmont Road in Decatur, Georgia 30030, with telehealth sessions also available to Georgia residents across the Atlanta metro.
Three core service lines define the practice. Individual psychotherapy for adults addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, burnout, identity questions, life transitions, self-criticism, and relationship challenges. Couples and family therapy concentrates on improving communication patterns and working through persistent conflict. Psychological assessments provide comprehensive evaluations of cognitive, emotional, and personality functioning, delivered with written reports and structured feedback sessions for clients seeking a more formal understanding of their psychological profile.
Dr. Shapiro describes her therapeutic framework as integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic traditions. Sessions are characterized as collaborative and paced thoughtfully, with attention to both present-day concerns and the underlying patterns that shape them over time. The practice emphasizes creating a space that is emotionally attuned, intellectually honest, and grounded in respect, where insight and practical change can develop together. The approach is described on the website as evidence-based therapy tailored to each client’s individual history, values, and goals rather than applied from a rigid protocol.
The Decatur office location places the practice within easy reach of Emory University, Druid Hills, and surrounding intown Atlanta neighborhoods. Telehealth appointments extend access to clients throughout Georgia who prefer remote sessions or live outside the immediate metro area.
New client inquiries are accepted by phone at (404) 969-6003 or by email at miriam@miriamshapirophd.com. Existing clients access the patient portal at miriamshapirophd.clientsecure.me. The website notes that initial communication does not establish a formal patient-therapist relationship until a written agreement is executed. The practice serves adults navigating a broad range of emotional, relational, and developmental concerns, as well as those seeking psychological evaluations to better understand their cognitive and emotional functioning.
