Jora Shacter

Jora works with career-minded people who struggle with excessive worry or self-doubt, but are driven to make a change. She creates a warm, collaborative space where you can discuss these issues and learn tools to cope better. She understands everyone is at a different place in their journey, and she’ll meet you where you’re at.

Jora has worked extensively with people who struggle with anxiety — whether it's general anxiety, social anxiety, or panic attacks. She can help you better understand how self-esteem, unhelpful thought patterns, or imposter syndrome can get in the way of your goals and overall happiness. Jora also works with people with ADHD. She offers skills and support to manage symptoms such as distractibility, time management, and relationship concerns. Jora offers a calm space where you can discuss your ADHD and practice tools to become more productive and organized.

Jora is passionate about supporting people who struggle with substance use, and has six years of experience in this field. She believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. She’ll work with you to achieve your goals, whether they are harm reduction or abstinence-focused. Jora uses a non-judgmental approach to guide you towards recovery and help you stop the vicious cycles that bring guilt and shame.

Jora has diverse experience supporting people who face forms of oppression. She feels fortunate to have worked in community settings that uplift 2SLGBTQIA and BIPOC populations. She recognizes how oppression can affect your identity and mental health: she strives to be culturally responsive, and takes time to understand how oppression and societal factors have shaped your experiences.
