"I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
- C.G. Jung
Are you finding yourself at a crossroads, no longer who you once were but unsure of where you want to be?
Have life’s circumstances put you in a different place than you were expecting?
Your conception of your life path does not look like what you had envisioned?
Do you strive for more out of life, yet, are unsure how to get to where you may wish to be?
I am Nancy J. Schneider and I welcome you to my practice and the myriad of ways I can assist you as you embark on your journey of exploration to learning about yourself, your wants and needs and the domains that stop you from reaching such. I work with adolescents, young adults and adults, individually and in groups, working with issues related to life transitions, stress, and mental health issues due to anxiety and depression utilizing verbal and non-verbal techniques, art therapy and/or dreams as an entry way to viewing the unconscious and symbolic content and how such presents itself in conscious life.
I am open to the needs of each individual client and invite you to lead me as your guide on your path of evolvement. I will support you on your journey as we explore what your needs are, your long term and short term perceived goals and best practices in fulfilling such. I use the therapeutic process to assist in empowering my clients so that you come to realize and acknowledge the wealth of inner resources you have within and without, to build on your strengths and gain confidence to accept and create your personal story. I provide a safe space for exploration and the honoring of all aspects of the self, the good, the challenging, that which may be difficult to look at and everything else in-between.
Specialties
Anxiety Therapy
Do you feel like anxiety is making all of your decisions for you? Is it causing you to isolate and avoid social events out of fear, even when you want to participate? Does it feel like the rug is being pulled out from under you and you have no control over your own life?
Neurodiverse Affirming Therapy
Is your child neurodivergent? Are they struggling to navigate a world that doesn’t understand them? Do they feel like no one values them or appreciates them for who they are?
Art Therapy
As helpful as it can be, ordinary talk therapy has its limits. So much of what goes on in the mind is unconscious. So many feelings and experiences are too complex to verbally express. As a result, talk therapy often ends up scratching the surface instead of getting to the deeper issues that really matter.
Life Transitions
Therapy
Has a major life transition made you feel anxious and uncertain? Do you find yourself missing the life you once had? Have the changes you’ve gone through caused you to question your values and reevaluate your outlook on life?
Jungian Oriented Therapy
Jungian therapy is an approach to counseling that seeks to help us get in touch with who we really are. It is based on the teachings of the Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung, who taught that the highest aspiration in life is self-realization.
Parenting
Counseling
Are you exhausted and burnt out from caring for your children? Do you find yourself prioritizing everyone else’s needs and neglecting your own? Are you struggling with feelings of insecurity and wondering if you have what it takes to be a parent?
