Hi there I am Leighann and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about working with clients who isolate themselves, appear sad, angry or irritable. My goal for clients is to help them find happiness again, overcome their anger, enhance their social skills, be able stand up themselves, as well as to know that their trauma is just one chapter in their life and not the whole story. My clients will start to feel hopeful again. You have the right to feel good about yourself.
I have vast experiences working in the school counseling setting, working in outpatient therapy, and I have experience as a supervisor over a team of counselors. I take a client centered approach and believe that trust and mutual respect is vital to a successful counseling experience. I use an eclectic mix of counseling techniques as counseling is not a one size fits all for most clients.
It can be scary asking for help but I am glad you are here. I hope we can work together to help you achieve a fulfilling and happier life. I look forward to working with you! Let's get started today.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue

Leighann Schaffer is awesome. She is always in my corner when I need her. She just takes time to listen to you and help you get through whatever it is your going through. I’m very glad I decided to reach out to BetterHelp because I know for a fact that I’m not alone. I know that I always have someone to talk to that would understand me better than anyone else.

Leighann is incredibly kind and a great listener. She provided unique insight and was able to help me through a tough time with my divorced parents. She was an invaluable help in my healing process and will definitely return to her if I need it.
