Transform. Transcend. Live Authentic.
Therapy for individuals, couples, and families.
“Even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.”
Welcome!
Therapy can help when life starts to feel confusing, overwhelming, disconnected, or hard to carry on your own. Sometimes the struggle is obvious. Other times, it looks like self-doubt, shutdown, relationship patterns that keep repeating, difficulty trusting yourself, or feeling like you’ve had to shrink parts of who you are just to get by.
You don’t have to navigate that alone.

Create relationships where you can be real
If you’re here, you may:
Have complex feelings about your gender or identity
have a history of relational harm that still shapes how you think, feel, or relate
experience family dynamics that left you confused, overwhelmed, or under-supported
have big emotions or shutdown responses that you're unsure what to do about
notice relationship stress that keeps repeating the same patterns
be a parent of a child, be the parent of a child or teen who is questioning their gender.
And you want:
To feel more grounded, regulated, connected to yourself
Communicate more clearly, especially with the people who matter most
To understand your identity with confidence and compassion
To have family or partner relationships that feel safe or more supportive
To work with someone who really gets trauma and neurodivergence and the queer experience
To support your child or teen with more clarity and certainty.
HERE ARE SOME PLACES TO GET STARTED
About Jaxon Shaffer
I offer a therapy experience that feels human— not clinical, and is grounded in compassion and hope. It is important to me that I understand each client as a whole— past, present, and future to accurattely identify barriers and empower them to see and utilize the inherent wisdom and strength within themselves.
My work is focused on affirmative care for clients of all ages, partners, and families who have felt other-ed because of their identities or various identities. I collaborate with and guide my clients on steps towards living to their fullest potential by learning to love and embrace their authentic selves. Some things we might address: recognizing and restructuring harmful internalized messages or thought patterns, accessing language to better communicate needs, exploring gender/sexuality, examining relationship dynamics that are causing stress, or getting general anxiety under control. We will celebrate your successes along the way.
