The effects of trauma can linger for days, months, or even years, disrupting the individual’s ability to function and their well-being. When you understand trauma as well as how it can affect you, your mental health, and your relationships, it’s a great first step to putting measures in place to begin healing.

Testimonials

I have known Shirley for many years. She is kind, caring and most all passionate. I highly recommend Shirley.

I have known Shirley O. Kauffman, PhD, MFC for over 14 years as we both serve on the board and as members of the organization Childhelp. She has deep empathy and understanding of human nature and works well with people. I recomend her as a therapist and a friend.Suzzy Canny Lake Balboa CA

Dr. Shirley is not only a kind and compassionate woman, but a wise and trustworthy source for me to share my good days and bad ones. I have always admired her for her biblical worldview. Everything she shares with me is filtered through the lens of scripture. It is so nice to know that I can get good and godly counsel from someone that is not only nice, but that shares the same beliefs as I do. The world gives much different advice —-focusing on self, and self help. Dr. Shirley has encouraged me not only to take care of myself, but to love others as a way to serve God. I highly recommend her.

Kristina Banaitis is a wonderful, skilled counselor who is yielded to the Holy Spirit as she listens and discerns what goes beyond words. Not only does she have experience to professionally counsel, she prays for wisdom and insight to be most effective. I am honored to lead prayer at our school and have gotten to personally know Kristina during the past few years as she has faithfully come weekly to pray. I can always count on her. When she says she will pray, I know she will. Kristina is patient and kind and she has a reassuring resilience and loyalty that can be trusted. Every time I am with her, I sense a peaceful strength that makes it easy to share and receive.

Kristina Banaitis is a very caring sweet and compassionate person. She is a very good listener and a great therapist, I would highly recommend her to my family, relatives, and friends.
