Getting to know Brian K. Shaffer
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Advanced Alcohol, Drug and Addiction Counseling Practitioner, Clinical Chaplain, Thanatologist, and Approved Clinical Supervisor. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I provide counseling, assessment, and intervention services to help clients meet their goals for a more authentic life. I have a passion for delivering quality care, support, and services through a person-centered approach that incorporates interventions from various theories and methodologies. I believe in helping clients process past traumatic experiences that have contributed to current struggles and other challenges in their lives. I strive to incorporate a client's spiritual beliefs into the treatment protocol to holistically address their needs. My experience and passion for improving the field of mental and behavioral health guide me as I help others on their journey of personal growth and healing, enabling them to experience freedom from their past and hope for their future.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy is about seeking solutions while fostering change and growth. You will have the opportunity to become more aware of yourself as we examine your thoughts, feelings, actions, and human spirit. You will develop new insights, learn healthy life skills and strategies, and derive meaning from your life experiences. We will build upon your unique strengths and qualities and leverage them with your natural ability to heal while leading you to feel more in control of the life you want to live.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
