Safra Shaffer | Behavioral Strategy provides discreet behavioral advisory services for complex, high-conflict family systems.
Founded by Tammy S. Shaffer, a behavioral strategist with international academic training, advanced graduate education in the United States, and extensive experience working within high-stress family and custody environments, the practice is built on precision, restraint, and strategic clarity.
Tammy holds a bachelor’s degree from an international university and two U.S.-based master’s degrees, bringing a cross-cultural, systems-level perspective to conflict dynamics shaped as much by behavior as by circumstance. She is fluent in three languages, allowing for nuanced interpretation of communication, tone, and escalation patterns.
Tammy is currently completing paralegal studies through UC Davis and is enrolled in mediation training through Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, beginning in August 2026. This continued training further strengthens the integration of behavioral insight, legal process, and conflict resolution that informs her work in complex, high-conflict family systems.
Her work focuses on stabilizing volatile interactions, reducing reactive communication, and supporting behavioral consistency in emotionally charged, court-adjacent contexts.
This is not a therapeutic practice. It is a strategic behavioral advisory.
Each client is reviewed for alignment, scope, and the ability to support meaningful stabilization. This practice is not structured for volume or transactional services.
Outside of her professional work, Tammy values travel and animal welfare
