Welcome! I'm Susan Schneider, a "seasoned" professional (which for me means that I have experienced a rich, full and savory life), I believe that I can truly walk with you down many paths and challenges! Some of my own personal paths that I have traveled include marriage, sexual intimacy and mis-matched libido concerns, parenting concerns, separation and divorce, death of a spouse, blended family life issues, empty-nesting, career changes, family of origin issues, caregiving aged parents, pre- and post-menopausal transitions, and everything else in-between. As your therapist, I will come alongside you and invite you to explore the possibilities of YOU. Whether you are struggling with sexual intimacy, relationship challenges or life changes, I will create a gentle and safe place where you can sit, breathe, reflect and gain clarity about who you are and what you desire. I would be honored to work with you as you embark on this journey. If you’re ready for me to help you tell your story, I’m ready too!

Welcome- I am so happy you are here! I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating sports and work performance pressure, anxiety, trauma symptoms, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and major life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to provide a steady, nonjudgmental, and solution‑focused space where you can talk openly, understand what’s happening internally, and develop practical tools that support meaningful change. I also specialize in supporting athletes and high‑performing individuals who experience mental blocks, performance anxiety, confidence challenges, or the emotional impact of injury, pressure, or burnout. As a former gymnast and current coach, I understand how stress shows up in the body and how quickly the nervous system can shift under intense expectations. I integrate trauma‑informed care with nervous system regulation to help clients rebuild safety, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with a grounded sense of self.

I believe healing begins when we stop living by old stories, limiting beliefs, and expectations that no longer fit who we are. Therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, challenge patterns that keep you stuck, and intentionally build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-worth, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. My approach is real, collaborative, and genuine, balancing compassion with accountability. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're learning to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, or build healthier relationships, my goal is to help you gain the confidence and skills to move forward with greater clarity, authenticity, and purpose.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania; I'm also licensed in Wisconsin. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I want to help you go from just tolerating the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, or trauma to living fully in the present and having a healthy relationship with yourself. You deserve to live the life you envision for yourself, and I want to help you do that by exploring the areas you’re struggling with, teaching you ways to cope, and reducing the impact that these symptoms have on your life by addressing them at their core. I believe that underlying most (if not all) mental health concerns is some kind of trauma – and, there are many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I invite you to learn more about my approaches to therapy, trauma, and trauma therapy by visiting my website: (www.everystepforward.com). And, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Hi, I'm Sheridan, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm so glad you're here! I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, and my goal is to make the process feel as comfortable and approachable as possible. I believe healing happens through connection, self-understanding, and having a space where you don't have to carry everything on your own. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and move toward change that feels aligned and authentic to who you are.​ I believe we as humans are meant for more than just "survival mode." While life can shape us in powerful ways, it does not have to define what is possible for us. We all deserve the chance to reconnect with ourselves, cultivate meaningful relationships, and build lives that feel intentional, fulfilling, and truly our own.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
