Think Positive

Attitude is Everything

Psychotherapy for Individuals, Families or Couples.

Hello, I'm Vicki Shaffer

My practice is a blend of strength based, relationship oriented and cognitive therapy techniques. In individual, family and group settings I utilize a variety of strategies to facilitate client's ability to reach and maintain their goals. Strategies include, recognizing and building on client strengths, teaching coping strategies to effectively address life's difficulties, identifying cognitive distortions and inaccurate beliefs that negatively impact mood, career/family/social functioning, and setting realistic goals to provide opportunities for success.

 

I have extensive experience with both male and female adults, teens and preteens with issues ranging from adjustment to changes in life circumstances, to identifying and managing anxiety, dealing with divorce, depression, trauma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), High functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, Nonverbal learning Disabilities, bipolar disorder and other life cirumstances.  I have also worked with many individuals in the LGBT+ community.
