SCHNEIDER COUNSELING INC.
DESTIN, FLORIDA

My issue was that I was disconnected from my body, my emotions, my intuition, and my gut. I spent so much time analyzing situations that I had no sense of self and could not sense the subtle body language other people were conveying. I had no clue what my own emotions and needs were and just lived reactively - behaving and waiting for the world around me to respond. I realized that standard talk therapy was just not working for me. So I sought out more holistic approaches and discovered body-centered psychotherapy. This approach to therapy profoundly impacted me and helped me implement meaningful change in my life. By utilizing body-centered techniques, I slowly learned how to track sensations in my body and to translate these sensations into emotions and needs. This allowed me to identify, communicate, and implement my emotions and needs - something that was so alien to me up until then! My entire life shifted dramatically and I felt more satisfied at work, at home, and in social relationships. I went from locking myself in my room at the age of 18 to being an outgoing, hyper talkative socializer.  Because I was so inspired by those who helped me heal, I became a massage therapist and psychotherapist myself. I was certified in massage therapy in 2006 and received my masters degree in Somatic Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado in 2009. Please note that although I look forward to speaking to you, I am not a crisis therapist and am not available 24/7. I will return your message within two business days.
