About Schaffer Consulting

We're Not Theorists.
We're Practitioners.

Pastor Theo Schaffer has been counseling individuals, couples, and families for over 20 years. Together with Pastor Patrice — his wife of 16 years — they've officiated weddings, walked with families through crises, and built a body of work grounded in scripture, real relationship, and proven systems.

What began as pastoral care inside the church has grown into Schaffer Consulting — a multi-program platform serving people at every life stage, from teenagers navigating identity to executives navigating burnout to organizations navigating what comes next. One calling. Four movements.
