Before I started seeing Dr. Shafer three years ago, I had been to two other therapists and had formed a negative opinion of therapy.

“Best therapist ever”

I came to Dr. Shafer as a last resort to deal with my anger, after years of therapy with different therapists practicing different methodologies I felt that therapy was a waste and I was skeptical but figured that my insurance was paying for this so why not. This was probably the best decision I've ever made for myself. Dr. Shafer's insight and results-based therapy was on point.
