Cathy Schaefer, PhD
I believe every person has a unique way of thinking, learning, experiencing the world, and connecting with others. My goal is to support individuals in finding the tools and confidence to be their own active agents of change.
Partnering with parents, teachers, and other important people in a child’s life is an essential part of my approach. Children don’t grow and learn in isolation. Their experiences are shaped by their relationships, family life, school environment, and the world around them. Rather than focusing only on a child’s challenges, I look at the bigger picture to understand how these different parts of their lives work together to influence their experiences.
I believe the most meaningful support comes from working together to understand each child’s unique needs and strengths, while considering the environments in which they live, learn, and grow. By collaborating with families and other caregivers, we can develop thoughtful, individualized approaches that help children feel understood, supported, and empowered to thrive.
