About My Clients
Many of our clients are late diagnosed ADHD and autistic and want to discover how to be their authentic self. Others come to navigate non-monogamous relationships or discuss how being queer in a hetero society affects their mental health. Some clients come because other therapists have stigmatized them for being sex workers or not understood their kink lifestyles and they want a sex positive therapist. Our clients all come in knowing there must be a better way to live and we are here to help.
My Background and Approach
I am Pam Shaffer (she/her) and I am a licensed marriage and family psychotherapist. As the founder of Best Self Psych, I provide supervision and guidance to our staff of therapists. As a therapist, I offer individual sessions online for California residents using a secure video platform as well as coaching sessions to individuals around the world. You may call me a compassionate guide that helps you through the ups and downs of life with pragmatism and a bit of magic. I am poly/ENM, kink, and LGBTQIA+ affirmative and I love to help people who are experiencing difficulty in their relationships or feel stuck in their professional and creative lives. My specialties include helping people who are struggling with the effects of depression, anxiety, C-PTSD, and ADHD.
