Welcome to Breathe Soul Care: Counseling & Consulting
A compassionate space for lasting transformation
Our Purpose
Our Vision: The Journey Toward True Self
At Breathe Soul Care: Counseling & Consulting, we stand in agreement with the late Carl Jung: "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Dr. Schafer is devoted to the sacred work of restorative healing, offering a compassionate space where the "whole person"—mind, body, and spirit—is seen and supported. We believe that true health is not merely the absence of symptoms, but the presence of vitality and the freedom to live out of one's authentic identity.
Our Mission
We are committed to a dual-fold mission of individual restoration and systemic transformation:
- For Individuals & Families: We walk alongside those navigating the complexities of trauma, grief, and transition. Utilizing evidence-based clinical tools and soul care traditions, we help clients move from "survival mode" and chronic bracing into a state of rhythmic peace and relational safety.
- For Churches & Organizations: We believe that healthy individuals are the foundation of healthy systems. We equip leadership teams to cultivate cultures of growth, resilience, and vitality. By integrating trauma-informed principles with organizational strategy, we help communities embody the wholeness and compassion they seek to impart to the world.
The Breathe Soul Care Approach
Our work is grounded in the belief that healing is a collaborative process of "re-membering"—bringing the fragmented parts of our stories, our bodies, and our communities back into a cohesive, life-giving whole.

For those seeking a deeply spiritual approach, Dr. Schafer offers Formational Prayer Sessions and Ignatian Spiritual Direction—gentle, soul-centered spaces to listen, reflect, and grow in relationship with God. These sacred times invite the presence of Christ, attend to the movement of the Holy Spirit, and receive the healing found in the Father’s love.
In these sessions, the focus is on spiritual formation rather than clinical treatment, creating space for transformation with God therefore insurance cannot be used for these options.
