I am a licensed therapist with fifteen years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, from those going through significant life changes to those healing from traumatic experiences. I graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2011 with a Master's in Educational Psychology, and from UW-Madison in 2018 with an additional specialty in family and relationship counseling.

The first few times we meet, the focus will be on your life history and how you have been impacted by what has happened to you. We will work together to figure out how you can get to where you’d like to be.

I’m happy to answer any questions you might have about my approach, or the counseling process in general! Send me a message :)

Harassment has no place in the workplace - know your rights :)

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Schneider. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Amy has provided me with a safe place to communicate my struggles over the past year. Not only does she listen, but she asks poignant questions to help me process my thoughts and feelings in a more constructive manner. And, when appropriate, she provides suggested resources for research on this healing journey.

Amy is not just any therapist, she is truly exceptional. Through the medium of live messaging, she manages to create an incredibly genuine and profound connection. I am constantly amazed by her unwavering attentiveness, which makes me feel truly heard and understood. It's as if she's right there with me, offering her empathetic support and guidance every step of the way. Additionally, Amy's wealth of knowledge and expertise shines through as she consistently introduces innovative techniques tailored to my unique circumstances. Her ability to adapt and provide such relevant strategies is truly remarkable. With Amy by my side, I feel reassured, empowered, and equipped to face whatever challenges life may throw my way.

Amy has been incredibly helpful and validating of my experience. She listens well, reflects back my experience without projecting anything onto me, and gives me helpful suggestions and thought-proving questions. I've really appreciated her support through my struggles.
