Amy Schaffer, LCSW

Bio

I am a Psychiatric Social Worker in the Santa Rosa Department of Child and Family Psychiatry. I have been working with children, adolescents, and families for the last twenty years. I have been fortunate enough to work for Kaiser since 1994. The Child and Family service provides comprehensive services for children 2-18 years old. During my time at Kaiser, many of my colleagues and I have had the opportunity to develop new programs to better serve our members. Our Child Psychiatry clinicians are social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists who have a wealth of experience with children.

As a member of the child clinical team, I provide initial assessments, individual, and family therapy. I believe that a crisis for a child or teen is a crisis for the entire family. Therefore, the family's participation is treatment is critical in your child's or adolescent's treatment. You are the expert on your son or daughter, and we welcome and need your input. I am a member of the Eating Disorder treatment team. I co-lead the obsessive-compulsive group for teens, and the high school group for teens as well. I have also worked extensively with depressed and suicidal adolescents.

Please note that I am located away from the main campus in a nearby business park at 3558 Round Barn Blvd, Suite 106.

I can best be reached by voice mail or e-mail but please do not leave any urgent messages. If you need to speak with someone urgently during the day, please call (707) 571-3778.
