Zachary Shaeffer, LICSW

I help teens and adults cope with stress, deal with depression and anxiety, express themselves honestly, and explore personal meaning and purpose.

Therapy can help you to cope with heightened anxiety, depression, loneliness, and lack of purpose. With online video conferencing, I provide regular therapy without you coming into the office, in addition to in-person availability. Therapy provides a safe place to ask the questions that scare us, to find connection and healing, to feel good and be authentic, and take charge of our lives. I support clients' efforts to gain insight into the sources of their challenges and pain, find connection, make positive changes in relationships, identify strengths and resources, cope with personal history, and take charge of their life.
I help teens and adults cope with stress, express themselves honestly, and explore personal meaning and purpose. I have experience working with youth as a school counselor and in the child welfare system, and working with children, teens, and adults in private practice. I use relational psychodynamic methods, with insights from CBT and others.
My approach as a therapist is to provide warm and attentive listening, unconditional positive regard, gentle honesty and encouragement, as I join with you in the project of telling and understanding your story, and feeling your best. I have an MDiv and am open to your religious experience. Services available through telehealth and in-person.
