My name is Geoff Schaefer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Missouri who has had a wide range of experiences in difference clinical settings. After receiving my undergraduate degree from Southeast Missouri State University in 1987, I then served as an officer in the United States Army. I attended University of Missouri-Columbia and received my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) in 2006.

My previous work experiences have included working as a Clinical Social Worker at the Metropolitan St. Louis Psychiatric Center (State Psychiatric Hospital) working in patient care, working at St. Louis University Hospital as a Psychiatric and Medical Social Worker, and as an individual and group therapist at St. Alexius Hospital Intensive Outpatient Program. Since then I have worked for 6 years at several private practice therapy offices throughout the metropolitan area.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages and couples. I practice Cognitive Behavior Therapy with the emphasis on Mindfulness, Happiness and Wellness. I also am experienced with Exposure Therapy to help those who suffer from phobias. I understand the physical and mental effects of aging and help people transition to become a happier and productive older adult. I offer non-judgmental support and understanding with compassion. I use a strength based approach and am a well-versed life coach who helps people discover their potential. I also specialize in anger management therapy.

I am an avid outdoorsman and when I am not working, you can find me fishing, camping, hiking, and canoeing. I am a voracious reader and you can find me at a local used bookstore scrounging for bargains! I like to watch mystery and science fiction movies and T.V. shows. During the Spring, Summer, and Fall, I can be found at the local hot spots like the Zoo, Art Museum, hiking trials, and the Botanical Gardens. Winter is my favorite time to spend with friends and family!
