Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When the foundation of trust shaken (if not feeling broken) through experiences of trauma, the approach to restoring one's life must always be one of sensitivity, patience, and compassion. Without this, there will always be a risk that it will never feel safe enough to heal.

In assisting patients struggling with trauma and PTSD, I offer a compassionate and supportive environment to explore their experiences. Through therapy, we address the impact of trauma on their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I provide education about trauma responses and coping mechanisms, helping them develop strategies to manage symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Together, we work towards processing and integrating their traumatic experiences, fostering healing, resilience, and a sense of empowerment. Ongoing support and therapy aim to facilitate their journey towards recovery and improved well-being.

Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500
Warriors Respite has therapist certified in trauma. Trauma can cause complex emotions and create moments in time stuck within one’s body. Trauma turns into a reaction, not a memory. I can help to soothe and regulate you to be the person you want to be.

As a therapist with experience talking to clients who have emotional disturbance, Trauma/PTSD, and relationship issues, I'd provide a safe environment to explore and process traumatic experiences. By encouraging emotional expression with Gestalt techniques, challenging negative beliefs with CBT, and promoting present-moment awareness with mindfulness, I help clients heal, cope with symptoms, and build resilience.
