Getting to know Brittany Shaffer

*Please note that we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time. Whether you're carrying past trauma, navigating a painful relationship, struggling to focus, dealing with anxiety, or just feeling off — you deserve a space to be yourself without judgment. Therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen — not assessed, not judged, just met with curiosity and care. My goal is to work alongside you toward the life you want for yourself, on your own terms.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My work is grounded in attachment-based therapy, relational therapy, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR, with a belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is part of what heals. For ADHD clients, we'll work collaboratively to build functional strategies that fit your real day-to-day life — your barriers, your goals, your needs and wants.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

No two clients or two sessions are alike -- working together means entering a collaborative partnership where we prioritize what actually works for your life over rigid 'shoulds.' I usually spend the first few appointments getting to know you and understand more about the places you feel stuck, getting curious about what and how you think, feel, and believe as we build safety and trust. We may have sessions where we move into deeper processing work, or several weeks where we focus on exploring a defined issue with a specific modality, like EMDR or IFS, or, we may spend a session collaboratively navigating an urgent issue that's come up in your life.
