Beyond the Therapy Room
Workshops, conversations, and resources supporting dads, parents, and families.
Media + Events
Supporting dads and families doesn’t only happen in the therapy room.
Through workshops, guest articles, podcast conversations, and community collaborations, I’m working to create more spaces where dads can talk openly about fatherhood, relationships, mental health, and the transitions that come with building a family.
Explore upcoming events, recent features, and ways we can work together to bring these conversations to more parents.

Dads & Babies: Touch, Connection & Identity
Becoming a dad changes everything, including how you see yourself. Join Micah Shapiro, LCSW, and Héloise Stauff, CEIM, for a workshop designed for dads and their babies from birth to 12 months.
Héloise will guide dads through hands-on infant massage techniques to support bonding and connection, while Micah will lead a conversation around the transition into fatherhood, including identity, relationships, and the experiences you bring with you into parenting.
Come ready to connect with your baby, learn something new, and talk honestly about what it means to become a dad.

The Hidden Trauma of NICU Fathers — and Why It Matters
Guest Article | Trauma-Informed Maternal Health Directory
Micah explores the often-overlooked emotional impact of traumatic births and NICU stays on fathers, including anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional shutdown, and disconnection that can continue long after a baby comes home. He also shares why supporting a dad’s mental health ultimately supports the entire family.
The Ripple Effect of Early Experiences in Mental Health
Podcast Guest | Courage Speaks
Micah joins host Sam Sherman for a conversation about how our earliest experiences and relationships can continue to shape who we are as adults. They discuss Micah’s own path into mental health, the impact of early life experiences, self-discovery, boundaries, and creating space for healing.
Interested in Collaborating?
I believe supporting dads, parents, and families takes a community, and I’m always open to opportunities to bring conversations about fatherhood, relationships, and mental health into new spaces.
If you’re a healthcare provider, parenting professional, community organization, writer, podcast host, or simply have an idea for a meaningful collaboration, I’d love to hear from you!
