Counseling to Embrace Authenticity
Kelly Schneider LCMHC, LPCC
Like many people who become therapists, I went into the field because I experienced the power of therapy first hand. I also kept having the experience of all kinds of people coming up to me telling me their life stories (stranger or not!) I mostly grew up in NC (moved here at the start of 4th grade). I went to school in Ohio, and have been back in the Tarheel state ever since. When I'm not therapizing, you'll most likely find me flocked by my 2 kiddos, hanging out with my husband, listening to an audiobook, or watching a true crime show.
I am licensed in both NC and CA and enjoy working with adult individuals with these characteristics/symptoms/diagnoses and more:
- depression
- anxiety
- religious/spiritual trauma, adverse religious experiences
- existential anxiety
- life adjustments
- identity/self-exploration
- stress management/self-care
- emotional toll of parenting
- boundary/assertiveness issues
- people-pleasing
- perfectionism
- neurodiversity - I am no stranger both personally and professionally, and would love the opportunity to work with you whether you are neurodivergent yourself, or love someone who is.
Maybe you need coping skills, assistance in processing complex emotions, or just want to understand yourself more. Regardless, your needs and concerns are valid.
