Teresa Schafer

My communication style

My style is rooted in empathy and hope. I offer an open and nonjudgmental space. I will explore with you, and at times offer, different perspectives that may open the door to new possibilities.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began during a mental health internship in college. It was there that I realized the benefits of therapy for healing, growth, and change. I have years of experience and training, and possess the same passion for educating and supporting clients on their personal journey to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. I will support you as you define the goals that matter to you. You will also be involved in the process of identifying reasonable steps towards those goals. Along the way, as you progress, we can always revisit your plan and redefine what best aligns with your needs and values.

Our first session

Our first session gives us a chance to get to know one another, and for you to share why you have sought therapy, and what your personal hopes are. I am open to questions. I respect that it can take time to be comfortable enough to share. Therapy is a process, and we will take it one step at a time. I hope to serve as a trustworthy guide.
