Getting to know C. Shaffer
With over 22 years of clinical practice, my focus is on helping individuals navigate complex life challenges through grounded, evidence-based care. Meaningful progress requires more than just conversation; it demands actionable strategies, clear insight, and practical tools designed to create lasting change.
Holding a Ph.D. alongside credentials as an LPCC, LPC, LMHC, NCC, and Critical Incident Response Specialist (CIR-Sp), my work is built on extensive clinical rigor and deep real-world experience. Having conducted more than 43,000 counseling sessions and administered over 10,000 Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis (T-JTA) assessments, I utilize advanced psychometric data with precision and clinical wisdom—translating assessment results into targeted, personalized interventions that foster measurable growth and enduring resilience.
Clinical Approach & Core Services
Comprehensive Assessment: Administering targeted, multi-faceted clinical assessments when necessary to clarify core concerns, identify underlying patterns, and establish a precise clinical baseline. I have extensive experience diagnosing ADHD and provide ADHD Assessments from Pearson Assessment to use for your primary care physician to provide medication if needed.
Solution-Focused Interventions: Moving beyond open-ended dialogue to implement structured, goal-oriented strategies that address current stressors and behavioral obstacles.
Actionable Tools: Equipping clients with proven cognitive and behavioral techniques that serve as practical resources for emotional regulation, problem-solving, and resilience.
Collaborative Treatment: Partnering directly with individuals to outline clear therapeutic goals, track measurable improvement, and tailor interventions to their unique personal or professional demands.

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.
