Reviews for Dr. Kathy

“I have known and personally worked with Kathy (Dr. Shafer) in serving client systems since 2006. She has provided our organization (Genesis House) with continued oversight, consultation, and training for DCF substance abuse licensing.”

“If you are looking for someone who walks the talk, Dr. Kathy Shafer is the one for you! Dr. Shafer is an author and has decades of personal and professional experience. Dr. Shafer is a beautiful blend of intellectual knowledge and spiritual wisdom. She is extremely respected by her peers, and by her current and past clients. I first met Dr. Shafer in 1988 and have experienced her work firsthand as a client, as a student, and as a mentee. I am so grateful for all that she has contributed to my life over the years.”

I have been going to her for several years and will continue to do so for many more. Her expertise is valuable as well as her passion for what she does. Dr. S is great! ????

You both covered a considerable amount of material with significant background information and progressed from basics to the tip of clinical depth in a relatively smooth progression. Having only a minor insight into the benefits of mindfulness in reducing stress and mapping a pathway for integrative living, the grounds you both covered whetted some of our appetites for more! An extraordinary overview with enough connection to stimulate a desire for more! Thank you. A far cry from the “Brief Therapy” course you presented at Hanley decades ago! We are destined to meet I have some photographs of you buried in my archive from a Moments of Change Conference where you bonded with a Yoga Teacher and I think you two were off to India! For intensive study Bravo Kathy! Excellent & Fluid!

Dr.Shafer has worked alongside me, training LifeForce Yoga Practitioners at places like Kripalu Center and Sivananda Ashram. I have watched with admiration as, with compassion, she guides her clients and students into a deeper level of self-awareness. Her profound understanding of the philosophical principles of yoga and her clinical skills manifest in a light-hearted, upbeat approach to healing. I am grateful to call her a colleague and friend.

It feels as though you are communicating with a good friend so you naturally feel totally at ease saying whatever you need or want to say. Of course, she is welcoming, knowledgable, intelligent, and extremely informative. She imparts seemingly small things like quips or poems or sayings that you simply take in at that moment…..but when the lightbulb (no, FLOODLIGHT) finally goes off in your head it is always a “WOW“ kind of moment. Kathy Shafer has helped me to see my personal life situations from different perspectives that has helped me be more accepting and understanding. I first went to see her as a “scared of everything” kind of person who worried about everything but now I’m more of the “bring it on, I can handle it and do what is necessary” kind of person. Big step in the right direction and it was Dr. Kathryn Shafer who got me there. Thank you so much, doc. ????

The first time I met Dr. Shafer, I knew I wanted to become a client of hers. Her genuine and caring personality was one of the first things I saw in her. Her professionalism and knowledge, along side her zest for life inspires me to “live my best life”. I am lucky to have found Dr. Shafer and learn from her. I look forward to every appointment knowing I will leave with new tools for life!

Dr Shafer is gifted, kind and insightful. No nonsense and to the point in her analysis. If you are really looking for a solution or answer? Call!

I love …great therapist…I highly recommend from personal experience

For beginners and experienced yoga practitioners alike, the workshop is great for everyone! Both Dr. Shafer and Dr. Tebb are extremely passionate presenters, and they clearly care a lot about bringing yoga practices into mental health. And they have an abundance of knowledge and experience! I learned a great deal from their hands-on approach, and I have already incorporated these yoga experiences into my personal and professional practice. I would highly recommend attending their workshops!

Kathy Shafer is a kind, caring, compassionate person and an excellent therapist. She is able to help you be comfortable in your own skin and find your own center. She gives you the tools to look inside for your own answers and is right there with you when you need her.

I liked that we set goals for treatment, and work toward them! I always want the “bottom line truth” which she provides. I have made many positive changes in my life with her help!

She genuinely supports you through life’s biggest challenges. Her goal and priority is always getting you on the right path to overall well being. If you’re looking for a therapist that is honest, knowledgeable, and supportive, than look no further than Dr. Shafer!

She is the best, nicest therapist, before, during and after her fight with Cancer. She was there always, as best and when she could be. Love this women!
