Clinical Social Work Practice – Will Shlifer Therapy
Based in South Florida, Will Shlifer Therapy serves clients across Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Parkland, and West Palm Beach. The practice is led by Will Shlifer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Trauma Therapist (CTT), and Certified Addiction Professional (CAP) with nearly 20 years of clinical experience across mental health and substance use settings.
The practice offers psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families, alongside life coaching, sober coaching, and interventions focused on addiction and mental health. Core specialty areas include trauma, grief and loss, addiction, relationship strain, and major life transitions. The clinical approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-focused therapy, experiential work, and solution-focused methods, with a stated emphasis on mind-body awareness and a grounded, relational therapeutic stance.
Sessions are available in both in-person and online formats. The practice operates on a private-pay basis with sliding scale options available; insurance is not accepted. Case management services are not provided, and the practice is explicit about this on its website.
The stated clinical philosophy prioritizes addressing underlying emotional patterns rather than symptom reduction alone, describing the approach as compassionate but direct. Client testimonials on the website characterize sessions as safe, grounding, honest, and supportive. Testimonials also note observable personal change within approximately six to eight weeks on average, though the practice acknowledges that individual timelines vary and that the work is not a quick fix.
Will Shlifer’s credential background spans licensed clinical social work, certified trauma therapy, and addiction specialty certification, positioning the practice to address clients navigating intersecting concerns around mental health, substance use, and significant life changes. The practice does not list a specific street address on its website; clients are directed to reach out directly for scheduling and location information.
Contact and scheduling information is available through the practice website. Life coaching and sober coaching options extend the practice’s offerings beyond clinical psychotherapy for clients seeking structured support outside a traditional therapy framework. Will Shlifer operates across Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Parkland, and West Palm Beach service areas.
