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.

Dr. Shafer really cares about his patients. He brings vast knowledge and experience into his sessions. He excels at helping to identify clear problems to be solved and clear goals to be achieved while offering a wide array of techniques to help move toward those goals. He provides highly individualized treatment in partnership with the people he helps. He is an outstanding psychologist and excellent therapist.

Dr. Shafer is a top notch therapist who has a deep love for helping people. I admire how well he is able to understand me and how quickly he is able to offer deep and meaningful insights. He has a beautiful outlook on situations, and has said a few things to me that will stay with me for life. I have seen him for years mainly for anxiety and depression, and he has helped me more than I ever could have imagined. I can never thank Dr. Shafer enough for his caring nature, incredible therapy techniques, and the effectiveness it's had in my life. I recommend him to everyone I know.

I never believed therapy can be effective until I met Dr.Shafer. He is a very compassionate and a responsible doctor who keenly listens to his patients.
He very quickly understands the plight of his patients and comes with workable solutions which have helped me a great deal. One of the very best therapists and I will be
ever greatful to him for the help he rendered through his solutions.

Amazing! Godsend! Dr. Shafer has an amazing gift for helping pinpoint the real problem and work towards quieting the mental "storm" and bringing inner peace. I struggle with anxiety, bipolar, and OCD and have experienced significant progress with the help of Dr. Shafer. I'd highly recommend him!

Dr. Schafer is unique in his practice. He brings a Christ centered approach to his practice. He is non judgmental, slow to speak and rarely gives advice. He gives insight from a positive prospective. His Biblical insights are worth there weight in Gold. Personally, Dr. Schafer has been a mentor that I can follow. I have many days where I came in depressed and Dr. Schafer’s perspective on life had lifted my mood and helped me to thrive in very stressful circumstances. I highly recommend Dr. Schafer.

Dr. Shafer is a very knowledgeable professional, he makes you very comfortable to share your problems, very understanding and compassionate when it comes to the well being of his patients. He is very resourceful and "thinking outside the box" while looking for the most efficient ways to help his patients

Dr. Shafer is very good at what he does and is very caring. He encourages open communication and I am confident he can help you with whatever challenge you are dealing with. I recommend him.

Dr. Shafer is one of the most genuine and caring individuals I have met. He works in partnership with his patients, and listens with intent to absorb not only the patient's words, but also the unstated feelings behind what is being said. He is available at anytime, and encourages you to speak your mind. I have seen him for 2+ years through death of family members, job loss, and general challenges. Through it all, I never felt alone and always felt supported and safe. I have referred many people to Dr. Shafer, each of whom has found him as described. Dr. Shafer not only loves what he does, but truly cares and works to make the patient's life better.
