“Holly is kind, professional, conscientious, and creative. She uses several different therapy techniques including art and movement therapies, EMDR, and many others, to help get to the root of the issues you’re having. She’s very warm and personable, and it is easy to open up to her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate counselor that can still help you move forward and through whatever you’re going through. ”

Getting to know Holly Schaffer
Hi I am Holly a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people just like you. I support people virtually across the region.
I’m truly passionate about what I do. I believe that therapy is a 'process of becoming,' and I’ve seen firsthand that if you stay committed to that process you will make progress.
My goal is to build a genuine, trusting partnership with you where you feel seen and understood. Together, we’ll look at the challenges you’re facing and use practical, evidence-based strategies to help you feel more like yourself again.
Whether you’re looking for individual support or couples counseling, my approach is always compassionate, creative, and focused on your unique journey.
I don’t provide medication, but I am here to provide the tools and support you need to thrive."
What should a new client know about working with you?
Here at Elevate Therapy NW we understand that you are unique and our therapy services are specialized to meet you where you are at. First we seek to understand the pain and how you got to where you are, and then we formulate a plan to help you get back to the person or couple you used to be, Our approach is practical, compassionate, creative, and holistic.
Therapy is a process of becoming.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy typically follows a common trajectory whether it is for couples or individuals. Our first and second sessions are meant for us to build a good working rapport. We spend time gathering information about where it hurts and what you are longing for. From there we formulate a plan and begin to work on specific areas. Usually this is done through weekly sessions for at least 2 months and is then decreased to twice a month while new learning is practiced and solidified to change. Depending on your needs this may vary greatly.
