Keynotes & Speaking Events
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 sit on the Board of Directors for the Community Council on Aging in Northeast Georgia and serve as an Advisory Board member for the Beyond Dementia Coalition. I would love to speak at your next event.
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.

Let's Work Together
My goal is to help your audience navigate, manage, heal, or move through a challenge, answer any questions , and take a journey – whether you are an older adult or someone who is a caregiver for one.
After 25 years of practicing psychology in my own private practice, as well as in hospitals and medical systems, with people of all ages, I decided to dedicate my work entirely to serving individuals aged 65 and older as well as to their caregivers. I am grateful to be able to serve this amazing and deserving population with a specific focus on all issues related to aging – whether that is how to thrive in these years, or how to survive the specific challenges that can emerge in this stage of life.
