Logan A. Shaffer, LPC/MHSP

Hello! My name is Logan. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in Kingsport, TN. I have found that being a therapist has been the greatest blessing of my life; to be able to listen, understand, provide feedback, and care for my clients is not simply a passion of mine - but a mandate. My duty to this world for as long as I am in it.

I started my journey of becoming a counselor after the passing of my father. The pain from this event was immense, but the lessons I learned about myself pushed me towards a path of self-discovery, and along that path, I began and completed my Master's Degree in Addiction Counseling at Liberty University. During my education, I found that therapy has much more to offer than simple techniques and homework - at its roots lies philosophy. A way of living through wisdom and the values we hold dear.

Life presents us with all kinds of challenges. Pain, grief, sadness, stress, fear, trauma, addiction, disease - you name it, life will deal it to you. My job is to help you shoulder these burdens. To aid in processing them, conquering them, and adapting the lessons learned from them to future burdens. Life is hard. It feels lonely much of the time - but it does not have too. Allow me to be the one who listens and understands.

I have been trained by the Beck Institute in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, a model of therapy aimed at modifying one's thoughts and actions to better align with reality and one's vision for themselves. Regardless of your pain, I want to be there alongside you on your journey.
