My family and I saw Jeffrey for insight into a specific problem we were having. In the course of counseling he helped us identify some long standing patterns between us that were limiting our communication.
Jeffrey's skill and focused attention provided an opportunity to for us to understand each other better. As a result we have become closer as a family and our ability to make clear and beneficial decisions has increased. Jeffrey's informed and compassionate manner created the safety we needed to move ahead.

"My individual counseling sessions with you have been a pilgrimage to my self. Before I began working with you, I was a stranger to me: with your guidance I have grown not only to know myself, but to be a friend to me as well."

20 years ago my husband and I, married only a year, were in therapy with a local therapist. It soon became clear we had a lot of “baggage” and needed a therapist with more expertise than she could offer. She referred us to Jeffrey Schneider. We gladly traveled to his office even though it was 40 miles away.
Jeffrey addressed our complicated issues including our being recovering alcoholics, coming from alcoholic families and being survivors of sexual and emotional abuse.
Slowly, with grace and respect, Jeffrey brought my husband and I through each issue. His approach was gentle and focused, always providing a safe place to land, and always aiming to cure the source of that wound rather than band aid the scar.
My husband and I have now been married for 22 years and I can honestly say that without Jeffrey, we would NOT be together today. Recently my family, which now includes 3 children, adopted from China, went through a difficult time. We called Jeffrey who once again brought us through one side and out the other, shining lights on all the right spots. The things that he gave us to work on and to think about have brought harmony to our relationships once again.
Thank you Jeffrey from the bottom of our hearts for helping us with all our “messy stuff”. We are forever in your debt!!! I will always be grateful to you for your love and warmth, your strict principles and your strong commitment to your work.
- With Love and Warmth, Sharon and Richard
