Payton Schneider

Your story matters. I hope to provide a nonjudgmental environment where we can work collaboratively towards wellbeing, self-acceptance, and positive change. As a therapist, I strive to bring energy, humor, honesty, and compassion to each session so that you may feel validated and develop skills to embrace life’s challenges.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples, ages 12 and older. I am especially passionate about working with teens, ADHD, trauma, and those who experience relational difficulties. I love working with people of all gender, racial, and cultural identities and backgrounds.

I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Minnesota, with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health. My therapeutic work is guided by Emotion-Focused, Interpersonal, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapies. Attachment theory, positive psychology, the mind-body connection, and trauma-informed care guide my approach as well.

When I am not practicing therapy, I can be found socializing, listening to (and singing) my favorite tunes at full volume, and cheering on my favorite Wisconsin sports teams – Go Pack Go! I look forward to joining you on your journey towards wellbeing.
