I’m Annie Shapiro, Founder of The Mindshift Studio

I’m so glad you’re here.

Meet Annie Shapiro, MHC‑LP

I’m a queer‑affirming therapist based in Miami Beach, deeply committed to supporting queer adults and couples in their 20s and 30s as they navigate identity, relationships, and purpose. With training in psychotherapy, coaching, and clinical hypnosis, I guide clients through anxiety, trauma, and high‑performance stress toward lasting change and self‑confidence.

My Approach:

Safe & nonjudgmental: Everyone is welcomed regardless of orientation, identity, or background. Authenticity is foundational.

Deep & holistic: We integrate mind‑body coaching, evidence‑based therapy, and hypnosis to shift patterns and unlock lasting growth.

Relationship-smart: As a therapist who works with diverse and queer partnerships, I center relationship strengths and challenges unique to queer dynamics.

You might be seeking therapy if you’re:

Exploring or questioning your identity and feel unseen or stuck

Feeling pressure around work, perfectionism, or burnout

Navigating a queer relationship with communication or transition challenges

Struggling with internalized stigma, self‑worth, or minority stress

What I bring:

I combine direct insight with warmth, tools, and adaptability—helping you feel more aligned, resilient, and empowered.

Some of my clinical training includes:

Psychology and Sport Psychology from Boston University

Clinical Hypnosis from the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis

Dialectical Behavior Therapy from Marsha Linehan, the founder

Couples and Relationship Counseling through The Gottman Method, IMAGO, Attachment Theory, and more.
