Shari Becker

Shari Becker, PhD, is a dedicated psychologist who takes pride in working with individuals, couples, and families in her Ridgewood private practice. With over 25 years of experience since obtaining her Ph.D. in 1998, she provides valuable psychotherapy to late teens and adults facing a variety of challenges, including mood, anxiety, body image, self-worth, and relationship issues. Shari employs a highly interactive approach, engaging her patients in the exploration of obstacles to their optimal spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Together, they aim to transform these challenges into opportunities for openness and integrity in personal and relationship dynamics. Her therapeutic approach uniquely blends traditional psychodynamic training with insights gained from her extensive experience in yoga and meditation. Shari focuses on the potential of individuals, couples, and families, encouraging them to perceive their challenges as pathways to necessary change. As a clinical psychologist, registered yoga instructor, and former attorney, she combines life experience, clinical judgment, and spiritual awareness in her practice. Shari considers it a profound privilege to guide others through difficult times and foster deeper connections to themselves and those around them.
