About Me

Welcome! My name is Allie Sheaffer. I’m an independently licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) and the owner of Magis Counseling Services, LLC. I’ve worked as a psychotherapist for 8 years, working with individuals, couples, and families navigating life stressors, including childhood traumas, adoption and foster care experiences, abuse histories, and mental health struggles.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a strength-based framework, where I support clients in identifying and leveraging their personal strengths, skills, and resources to foster resilience and growth. I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address trauma, alongside a variety of evidence-based therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. By integrating these approaches, I tailor my style to meet each client’s unique needs, empowering them to build internal resiliency and create meaningful, lasting change.

As a therapist, I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and affirming space for all individuals, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where everyone can explore their identities and experiences with confidence and authenticity. Regardless of your background or identity, you will be met with respect, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to your well-being.
