Robert Shafer, PhD

At our practice, we understand that everyone's journey is unique, and that everyone faces challenges and difficulties at some point in their life. That's why we're here to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Individual Therapy

As a psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience, Dr. Shafer has helped countless individuals work through their struggles and find a sense of peace and clarity. Through his individual therapy sessions, Dr. Shafer helps his clients explore their unique inner experiences and make sense of their lives. By understanding their strengths and weaknesses in the light of early experiences that have shaped them, emotional distress is relieved, and individuals are empowered to make more effective choices.

Couples Therapy

Relationships are the heart and soul of our emotional well-being. Everyone longs for loving connections with others, yet often, we unintentionally distance ourselves from one another by being reactive, withdrawing, or seeking approval. In his couples therapy sessions, Dr. Shafer helps individuals and couples heal and re-establish a sense of connection and intimacy. Whether same-sex or heterosexual, married or unmarried, relationship therapy can help individuals work through issues and strengthen their relationships.

Psychoanalysis

Dr. Shafer's extensive training and experience have equipped him to provide a range of services, including psychoanalysis. This therapeutic approach helps individuals explore their unconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and work through the underlying causes of their struggles.
