Payton Schneider

I hope to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where we can work collaboratively towards emotional and social wellness. I am here to support you in finding peace, balance, and self-love while appreciating the value in humor, laughter, and human connection as a part of the healing process. My goal is to validate and explore emotions and experiences while working with clients to build skills that can be used throughout life.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples, ages 12 and older. I have a special interest in working with people who have experienced trauma, neurodiverse populations, and those who experience relationship/interpersonal 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, Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies. Attachment theory, positive psychology, and trauma-informed care guide my approach as well.

When I am not practicing therapy, I can be found playing piano or guitar, drinking coffee, exercising, or socializing with friends or family. I look forward to joining you on your wellness journey!
