About My Clients
I work with adults and People of Color. Clients who work with me can expect to focus on their thoughts, emotions, behaviors and relational patterns from a heart-centered approach. I utilize a variety of interventions from several theoretical frameworks (such as cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, and solution focused). Determining how I adapt my clinical interventions relies heavily on the unique background, presenting concerns, and motivation of you as the client.
My Background and Approach
Dr. Schiffner is a biracial/biethnic Latinx licensed counseling psychologist who has been practicing since 2008. She provides culturally inclusive, empowerment and compassion-based psychotherapy focused on heart healing. She offers individual therapy to adults and older adults (i.e., seniors), psychological assessment to Veterans, and clinical consultations, supervision and trainings. Dr. Schiffner specializes in working with diverse client populations and utilizes relational theories combined with cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, solution focused, sex positivity and mindfulness/compassion-based approaches to help clients with an array of issues to include: relationship difficulties, adjustment issues, chronic health and pain concerns, and life transitions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Inherent in Dr. Schiffner’s work as a psychologist is an emphasis on holistic approaches that honor the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit. She is a full Mesa carrier trained in the Peruvian tradition (Q’ero lineage) of Shamanic Healing Practices, an ordained Minister of the Sacred Earth Ministry, a Reiki Master, and Yoga practitioner. She integrates these in treatment with clients who wish to enrich their relationship to Divine Source, unfold meaning making and purpose alignment, and expansive growth.
