Dr. Shapiro relies heavily on growth- and resiliency-oriented cognitive-behavioral approaches, but also emphasizes the importance and power of relationships in our lives. His work at the UC Davis Early Psychosis Programs focuses on utilizing these approaches within a team-based treatment modality so that clients can receive the best, individualized, evidence-based services as they seek change and fulfillment.
Dr. Shapiro is a Clinical Psychologist who has focused his career on the goal of preventing mental illness and the distress or disability that can arise in those who experience it. He specializes in evidence-based practice for mental health concerns with particular emphasis on the identification and treatment of those at-risk for or in the early stages of psychosis. He also has clinical and teaching expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, particularly for mood, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma-related concerns in adults and adolescents.
Dr. Shapiro's research centers on the evaluation of approaches to identifying and treating those in the earliest stages of psychosis, with the goal of delaying or preventing mental illness and any associated difficulties or distress. He is particularly interested in better understanding what treatment approaches work best for whom and in how differences in culture, background, and beliefs affect pathways to and decisions about treatment. A second area of interest is in training the next generation of providers in CBT and other evidence-based approaches.
