Life Quest Pursuits Counseling

I have been in therapy on and off over the years and I’ve found it to usually to be a hit or a miss. Since seeing Shirley I haven’t had one session where I left without a new perspective or thoughtful advice. Shirley is kind, genuine, and confident in what she shares. She is deeply invested in every conversation and always seems to have a keen sense of what it is I need to hear. Shirley is not only someone who I feel respects me and my time but who I truly respect and value in return.

Not only is Shirley Azoulai a superb psychotherapist - she's also a first class person who I consider a true friend and ally. Shirley is hardworking, very gentle, highly empathetic, whip-smart, and incisive - she is the Real Deal that you want in a therapist. Shirley was born to be a therapist and makes her patients feel special with her kindness and warmth. I love that she sees patients virtually or in person and that she has the flexibility of weekend appointments. I have referred clients to her and will refer many more because therapists like she are extremely hard to find!

I have worked with other therapists before but never had the kind of enlightening experience that I have had with Shirley. She is sensitive and kind and seems to understand exactly what I mean, even when I don't quite know how to express myself. She helps me to feel better about myself and is working with me to develop strong self esteem and self advocacy skills. I give her a most glowing review.

I took the time to research and find the right therapist and I am extremely glad I did! Shirley is incredibly easy to talk to and very understanding. She isn't judgmental and makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend her regardless but especially if you are feeling uneasy about therapy.

I have seen numerous therapists over the years, and no one has ever helped or understood me the way Shirley has. She is compassionate and intuitive, and I feel truly heard by her. She has taught me valuable coping skills and helped with my confidence and self-esteem. I highly recommend her.
