Megan Shaffer

Hi! My name is Megan Shaffer, MSW, LISW-S, PMD, CCPT

I am a compassionate and skilled therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Case Western Reserve University. With years of experience in the field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals create meaningful, lasting change through thoughtful, evidence-based care. I specialize in trauma recovery and perinatal mood disorders, and I approach each client’s healing journey with warmth, patience, and respect.

As a Clinical Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP), I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma. I use evidence-based approaches, including trauma-focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients process painful memories, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and rebuild a sense of safety, stability, and control. Whether you are navigating childhood trauma, complex grief, or major life transitions, I strive to provide a supportive, grounded, and collaborative therapeutic space.

I also specialize in supporting individuals who are pregnant, postpartum, or adjusting to parenthood. I work closely with clients experiencing perinatal mood disorders such as postpartum depression and anxiety, and I understand how overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally complex this season of life can feel. My goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience—so you can reconnect with yourself and your family in healthy, fulfilling ways.

In addition to traditional therapeutic modalities, I integrate mindfulness-based and holistic approaches into my work. By fostering present-moment awareness and self-compassion, these techniques support healing from the inside out and help you access your own inner strengths and wisdom.

I believe that therapy is not a sign of weakness, but a courageous step toward growth, healing, and transformation. I tailor therapy to each individual, honoring the uniqueness of your story, and I work collaboratively with you to uncover your inherent power and potential. Together, we will focus on helping you move toward a more authentic, connected, and fulfilling life.

Your healing journey is not only possible—it is powerful.
