My Approach to Helping

I counsel individuals, couples, and families dealing with problems in their life--work issues, relational issues, personal issues. I start with the assumption you are doing the best you know how but would like to do better. I believe I can help you as I have helped many others.

I provide understanding, support, different perspectives, and strategies for improving your life. I guarantee absolute confidentiality.

I use cognitive/behavioral and brief therapy approaches. I do not dwell on the past unless it is relevant to understanding your problems. I am more interested in helping you move positively into the future. I see our sessions as the beginning of a new life for you.

More Info About My Practice

I am a provider for all insurance companies. You need pay only the co-pay you give your primary care provider. I waive the co-pay for the first session. I also take cash payments adjusted to your income.

I have published two books, "Philosophy of Mind" and "Reality, Knowledge and Value," under my full name, Jerome A. Shaffer.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

So often I have heard clients say that they wished they had come to a couselor a long time ago. It is never too late to begin to address your problems! It is not an admission of weakness. Just the opposite. It is a sign of strength. I will respect you for coming, provide understanding and support, and help you find ways of making your life better.
