Best Self Psych was founded by Pam Shaffer, a licensed MFT in Los Angeles. As a musician, podcast host, clinician, and recovered manic pixie dream girl, Pam brings a creative and multi-faceted collaborative approach to all that she does. Throughout her own brief but storied life, she discovered that it's possible to thrive in your relationships while enjoying your creative and professional endeavors, but learned that it takes a fair bit of self-insight and the desire to change old patterns in order to step into your best light.

Pam started Best Self Psych in 2017 to help clients delve into the messy work of becoming their most integrated self, knowing that it’s possible to lead an authentic, inspired life, especially when you get a little bit of help along the way. What began as a solo endeavor has blossomed into a thriving group practice and she couldn’t be more thrilled to have such a wonderful team of therapists.
