Frequently Asked Questions

  • Quantum Behavioral, LLC is a private-pay practice. I provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

  • No, but I do understand the importance of family relationships and we may address those concerns in your individual therapy.

  • My approach isn’t just about listening to problems. I take a direct, solution-focused, goal-oriented approach. I do not focus on “coping” because coping sets the bar too low. It implies that the problem will always be there. The goal must be elimination of symptoms.

  • All sessions are conducted virtually to provide flexible and accessible care.

Testimonials

  • "Dr. Shapiro has been awesome since the first time I had an appointment. His demeanor makes it very easy to talk about things that are normally difficult to discuss. His approach to my issues has been greatly beneficial. I have returned to him recently with an issue and he is guiding me through the healing process. Very highly recommend Dr. Shapiro. Second to none."

  • "Dr. Shapiro saved my life, and my marriage. I was at rock bottom when I walked into his office. I am now 7 years clean, still happily married, and raising my 3 kiddos! As a Marine I thought I could handle any problem... I was wrong. If he can help me get to where I am, please trust that he can help you. Thanks again Doc!"

  • “Dr. Shapiro was remarkably effective in guiding me out of the darkest period in my life. I’d been successfully treated for depression with traditional medications for most of my adult life (over 20 years) but became Treatment Resistant. My psychiatrist prescribed ketamine treatment which pulled me away from the edge thankfully, but in the aftermath, I needed more to help me fully engage in life, joy, all of my emotions. I’ve been to many therapists over the years, so I found Dr. Shapiro (Larry) very refreshing in his directness, decisiveness, and deeply felt expressions of empathy. He had particular understanding of my challenges dealing with autoimmune disease and chronic pain. Despite being separated by a screen, I felt that Larry truly saw me, understood me…and I trusted him as he challenged me. I only needed his help for a short period, considering everything that we dealt with in that time. It was incredibly efficient. And I continue to work on the things in my life that he helpfully and assertively underlined for me. Thank you Larry.”
