Getting to know Monica Shafer

Hello! I'm so glad you're here! I am passionate about walking alongside clients as they explore their identities, experiences, and beliefs in a space filled with warmth and compassion. My approach My approach is rooted in a bottom-up approach, in which we will explore your experiences in life and get curious about the direct and indirect messaging that presented in those experiences and how those experiences and messages influence you currently. My focus I work with teens and adults seeking a greater sense of peace, balance and harmony through fostering a deeper self-understanding and personal growth. I also have specialty in women's issues, perinatal and postpartum mental health and infertility, as well as the life transition into motherhood. My communication style I strive to create a safe and caring environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported-somewhere you can share openly and honestly without fear of judgement, and begin to process life's challenges. My journey to mental healthcare My journey started with my frustration around mental health stigma and a desire to help others. Working with individuals to support them in gaining self-awareness and growing into the person they want to be has been the greatest honor and I'm driven to provide that opportunity to all. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership and you are the expert in your life. Together, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and what you would like different in your life. As we dig deeper and process, we'll adapt your plan to stay true to what you're wanting in life. My first session with you Your first session will be an opportunity to get to know each other and learn about what brought you to therapy. It's normal to feel nervous or "weird." We'll move at your pace and I'll always be there to support you.
