I enjoy helping others reach their full potential by gaining courage and confidence while learning ways to overcome the obstacles life can bring. Such as a loss of a loved one whether unexpectedly or naturally, issues with marriage or family relationships, divorce, health changes or addictions. My goal is to support my clients through a difficult time, help them to have hope, and tap into their inner resilience. I have experience with complicated grief. My heart is to walk along side those that have been affected by violent or unexpected death during an unbearable time, supporting them toward healing.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you wake up with a knot in your stomach ? Or get on a train of thought to the worst case scenario ? Are you worried about what others think and does this drive your life instead of you?

Get back to your best you! I believe therapy provides support in processing through what's working and what's not working for you to improve and build on your personal strengths. During our sessions we can work towards developing new coping skills while improving your relationships in this process. I am here to support you towards reaching your personal goals while reinforcing your core values. Through this process I will collaboratively work with you to bring hope, joy, and a renewed outlook on life.

Accepting the responsibility to change is a difficult task but once you take the initiative, it is highly rewarding. Sometimes we need to take a step back to reflect on a new way to approach situations when "our way" seems to be getting in our way. These are common responses to trauma, depression, and many other conditions that we can't always think our way out of, despite our best efforts.

We all experience emotional injuries. Some are minor and other could qualify as trauma. These injuries shape how we respond to our current situation. At times the responses are helpful, but at other times these responses are no longer helping us live our best life. In addition, these injuries may cause symptoms that at times can become unmanageable. Luckily it is possible to heal from these injuries. Therapy can help with the process of healing, especially if we get stuck along the way.

Hi there! My name is Kathryn Shafer (She, Her, Hers). I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years of experience in the field. I provide individual, couples and family therapy to children, teens and adults with a variety of concerns. I specialize in working with diverse populations who have anxiety, depression, relational problems and every day life stressors.

You have everything you need inside of you to release the things that don't serve you and live from your most powerful and authentic Self. As a certified clinical hypnotherapist, shamanic practitioner and Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner, I bring a wealth of experience, tools and holistic perspectives to help guide you in finding the gold in even the darkest parts of your life. I take a mind/body/heart/spirit integrative and individualized approach with each client, weaving together traditional and non-traditional modalities to support you in stepping fully into your power.

I am a therapist who uses practical knowledge, is interactive, and solution-focused. My treatment approach is to provide support and feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns.

Accepting New Patients! You're here today because you're likely struggling with the pain of infertility or the loss of a baby that you've waited so long for. Maybe you're a new mother whose birth plan got derailed, which has left you feeling alone in processing your birth trauma. It's possible that you're experiencing guilt for feeling sad and anxious after having your baby, especially when we're told that motherhood "should" be the happiest time in our lives. You may be having a difficult time feeling present and connected at home. Or perhaps you're a mother struggling to find the woman you used to be prior to becoming a parent.

My specializations include individuals, families and relationships with co-occurring and complex mental health, substance use, problem gambling and personality disorders. Additionally, I have a special interest in women and couples who are experiencing a broad spectrum of fertility challenges, pregnancy losses, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments, and postpartum concerns.

I have been a practicing clinician for over 18 years. I have treated both youth and adults and work towards goals of healing, growth, and wellness. I provide individual and family therapy and have focused on clinical areas such as trauma, depression, anxiety, anger management, divorce and relationship conflict. I utilize a collaborative approach that is both strength-based and solution-focused.

I view the person as a whole and wellness as a personal journey. It's nearly impossible to heal the mind without also healing the body. As both a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 15 years of experience, and a Nutritionist, I can help you achieve optimum mental and physical vitality and find your pathway to becoming your best self. Together, we will look at emotions, thoughts, behaviors and unconscious beliefs that may be holding you back, but also consider complementary and alternative means to help you achieve wellness -- focusing on sleep, nutrition, exercise, meditation, social supports, and holistic treatments.

Through my work for non profit, public and private sectors, I have developed an unrelenting passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults overcome life's many challenges. I consider it a privilege to have treated these populations from a variety of backgrounds with an equally varied mental health conditions. I have worked with juvenile sex offenders, juvenile delinquents, foster children, chronically mentally ill, and criminally insane, couples, to name a few. Although, their problems were different, their goals were the same, to live a life filled with happiness self sufficiency and success.I have been working in an underserved community.

Does any of this sound familiar? Life feels disconnected from meaning, purpose or joy. The same situations keep repeating themselves. Emotional difficulties are getting in the way of relationships or personal growth. These are a few of the situations someone may seek me out for therapy. During the therapeutic process, we will work together to connect underlying factors with your present circumstances. This will work to give you back control of your life and gain freedom from the fears, anxieties and blind spots that have been driving your suffering.
