About me

I hold both, a Bachelors of Science degree in Christian counseling, and a Masters of Art , in professional counseling from Liberty University.
I performed my residency at Counseling Alliance of Virginia, in Charlottesville Virginia. I was with them three years before moving on to open my own small business.
I’m well skilled in working with individuals, both women and men, as well as, the elderly. My use of therapy is integrative, although I do have my favorites; which include, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness grounding skills. I am also equipped to give Christian-based counseling when desired, and enjoy weaving in faith-based counseling for a more holistic approach.

Charlotte helped me with my anger management. Before you start you wonder what can be done to help. She gave me great tools and made really good book recommendations. I'm a changed woman.

I was pretty nervous about seeking therapy (as it was my very first time.) I prayed to God asking and hoping that whoever was chosen to be my therapist was going to be someone HE wanted me to learn and seek council from …that was full of valuable life/spiritual/ biblical wisdom and could help me to better myself as a believer, wife, mother, friend, teacher, etc. I say all of that to say that God not only answered my prayer, He EXCEEDED my expectations with Charlotte. I don’t think she realizes just how much our sessions have drastically changed my life. She has been such a blessing in my life and I am just so very thankful for her.

Charlotte Schafer has been my counselor for quite some time now, and when I first came to work with her, my mental health issues were very challenging for me. Thankfully, with Charlotte’s compassion, thorough approach and encouragement, I can now honestly say that my life has improved so much. She is knowledgeable, and has taught me many new skills and provided great resources to help guide me. Charlotte is an incredible counselor and she has truly been a blessing in my life.
