About the Founder
Stephanie Shafer .
I have 20 years of experience in health care having worked in a variety of clinical settings including oncology and family practice prior to developing a specialty in psychiatry. I have been fortunate to train at some of the most prestigious institutions in the United States including UCLA and Johns Hopkins University, where the study of functional and integrative medicine practices has been widely advanced. My philosophy is also directly influenced by on-going post-graduate studies of alternative medicine practices including biofield therapy, meditation, nutrition, and mindfulness.
At Neurobehavioral Health and Wellness, we believe in going beyond the limitations of traditional psychiatry. We take the time to build deep connections with our patients, understanding their unique experiences and addressing the root causes of their mental health challenges.
While we recognize the importance of medications, we also embrace the effectiveness of integrative approaches alongside pharmacological interventions. Traditional symptom-based treatments often overlook the crucial role of sleep, nutrition, exercise, positive psychology, and mindfulness in resolving common mental health conditions. That's why our personalized treatment plans incorporate these elements, empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing journey.
With our guidance, you can strive towards a life of optimal wellness, experiencing profound transformation and achieving lasting balance in mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and support needed to take charge of your mental health and embrace a holistic approach to well-being.
Specialized services and programs are briefly outlined below
Integrative Psychiatry
Our primary focus is on providing personalized and evidence-based treatment plans that prioritize non-pharmacological interventions whenever possible. We aim to empower patients by exploring the root causes of their symptoms, while utilizing alternate therapies such as nutraceuticals, lifestyle modifications, and other holistic approaches to promote long-term mental well-being. We create a safe and supportive environment, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance and guiding individuals towards optimal functioning and fulfillment in their lives.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Integrative psychiatry takes a whole-person approach, recognizing that a patient's mental, emotional, and physical well-being are interconnected. When it comes to TBI, this approach becomes essential as patients may experience not only cognitive impairments but also emotional distress and challenges in adapting to their changed circumstances. Integrative psychiatry acknowledges that conventional psychiatric treatments can be complemented with alternative therapies to optimize outcomes for TBI patients.
13-Week Integrative Wellness Program
An intense and comprehensive program designed to facilitate the process of personal growth and change. The program focuses on the whole person through integration of mind, body and spiritual awareness; ultimately achieving overall wellness and balance using a holistic and non-pharmacological approach. This process results in a better understanding of self which allows for acceptance, love, and personal growth.
Health & Wellness Coaching
Based on neuroscience, evidence-based practices and lifestyle changes, my mission is to meet each and every client where they are on their personal journey. Together we formulate an individualized plan that facilitates their unique process of personal growth and change.
