I am currently a counseling student and knew seeking a therapist would benefit my growth as a counselor. Dr. Shafer was an answer to prayer. He was kind, encouraging, and wise. For the first time, I experienced a non-judgmental environment to be vulnerable and real. He offered wisdom and hope and pointed out strengths to help me see where I have overcome. He was patient and always checked in to see if we were still on the same team in progress, direction, and treatment. If you get an opportunity to team up with him to improve, process, or overcome areas that are important to you, I would take it.

As someone with several poor past experiences with therapy, I was losing hope that any psychologist was worth struggling through my depression to meet. Dr. Shafer proved me wrong almost immediately. He is intelligent, nonjudgmental, and exceptionally genuine. He truly cares about his patients and is willing to go above and beyond to work with each as an individual. Dr. Shafer loves what he does, and I am very grateful to have his support on my journey.

I would highly recommend Dr. Schafer. He is intelligent, kind, non-judgmental, and truly wants to be on your team. He works to collaborate and problem solve for a positive outcome. While finding the right fit can be difficult, you will not just be another number with Dr. Schafer. He is patient, empathetic, easy to talk to, and will take a vested interest in helping any way he can. Flexible scheduling and billing with insurance are a breeze. I feel fortunate to be able to work with Dr. Shafer.

Incredible counselor and therapist. Highly recommend. In many ways, a life mentor who helps navigate through very difficult situations with pragmatic solutions and motivational counseling.

I came to Dr. Shafer as a last resort to deal with my anger, after years of therapy with different therapists practicing different methodologies I felt that therapy was a waste and I was skeptical but figured that my insurance was paying for this so why not. This was probably the best decision I've ever made for myself. Dr. Shafer's insight and results-based therapy was on point. He isn't very by the book but instead results-based, and what I mean by this is that he knows that there isn't a set formula that works on everyone. He was determined to try everything to help me and he did!

Dr Shafer in a couple of sessions turned my life around. I can't say enough good things about the man.

Excellent therapist and psychologist. Dr. Shafer makes you feel he cares when he listens and then he provides constructive feedback and ideas that he encourages you to question and think through yourself. He helped me through a very difficult period in my life, and was reasonably available during non-appointment hours to help me in crisis. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Shafer!

Dr. Shafer has had such a positive effect on my life. He is very smart, genuine, professional, and very easy to talk to. I am so glad I didn't give up after my first terrible experience with another psychologist. The actual psychologist makes a world of difference!
