About ME
Hello! I'm Dr.Vanessa Schaeffer.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in working with older adults and the people who love and care for them. I am also an appointed Advisory Board member for the Beyond Dementia Coalition.
As an official Psypact provider, I see clients via Telemental Health, so you can access my services from the comfort of your own home. Research shows these sessions are just as effective as in-person care, with easier access.
As a Geropsychologist (someone who specializes in treating adults age 65 and older), I am part of a very small group of providers with this focus. In fact, only 1.2% of Psychologists describe their specialty as Geropsychology.
