Sheila Schaefer

I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—while focusing on Jesus' commandments: "Love God with all your heart and soul and love your neighbor as yourself." I view therapy as a collaborative journey where I walk alongside clients, empowering them to discover their inner strengths and achieve lasting well-being. I utilize a faith-based, trauma-informed, client-centered, and culturally sensitive approach, recognizing the impact of past experiences and societal factors on mental health.
