John Schneider

Embracing the belief that every individual holds the key to their own growth, John Schneider brings a fresh, collaborative approach to mental health counseling. As a Student Mental Health Counselor Intern, John is dedicated to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their inner resources and achieve meaningful change.

At the core of John's practice is a person-centered, integrative approach deeply rooted in cognitive behavioral therapies. This foundation allows him to tailor his methods to each client's unique needs, fostering a partnership that goes beyond simply feeling better to actually doing better in life. John understands that the path to wellness is not one-size-fits-all, and he works diligently with each individual to uncover the strategies that resonate most effectively with their personal goals and experiences.

John's toolkit includes a variety of cognitive behavioral techniques, such as schema-focused therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and behavioral activation. These evidence-based methods are carefully woven into each session, providing clients with practical skills to navigate life's challenges. However, John's approach is not rigid; he remains open to exploring other interventions when appropriate, always prioritizing the client's best interests and comfort.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of John's therapeutic style. He firmly believes that the client is the expert on their own life, and he sees his role as a supportive guide in their journey towards better mental health. This partnership approach ensures that therapy is a dynamic, interactive process where insights and strategies are co-created, leading to more sustainable and meaningful outcomes.

As an intern, John brings enthusiasm and a commitment to continuous learning to his practice. He stays current with the latest developments in mental health research and treatment, ensuring that his clients benefit from the most up-to-date and effective therapeutic techniques. While he may be at the beginning of his professional journey, John's dedication to his clients' well-being and his integrative approach make him a valuable ally in the pursuit of mental wellness.
