Brigitte Shaffer, LMHC, supports adults across Rhode Island as they navigate anxiety, stress, and the complexities of life—including early experiences, shifting roles, and relational dynamics. She offers a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can reflect, gain insight, and connect with their authentic selves while living in a way that reflects their values and core beliefs.

Her work emphasizes the mind-body connection, helping clients notice how emotional experiences may show up physically—such as fatigue, tension, or restlessness—and how awareness-based practices can support regulation and resilience.

In the face of life’s many challenges, Brigitte helps clients explore internal conflicts, deepen self-understanding, and move toward greater self-acceptance and inner peace. Her approach is compassionate and trauma-informed, honoring the personal nature of each client’s journey.

Brigitte draws from a holistic and eclectic framework, integrating evidence-based modalities and mindfulness-informed practices. Her work supports clients in understanding emotional patterns, building self-trust, and creating space for growth and healing.
