Getting to know Andrew Schnell

We learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years with experience across a diverse range of settings with children, teens, adults, families, and couples. This includes community mental health, outpatient practice, residential facilities, foster care, county mental health, juvenile hall, schools, substance abuse/chemical dependency, adults with severe and persistent mental illness, and crisis intervention.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I take an integrative and depth-oriented approach, combining insight driven processes with skill based and practical solutions. I am collaborative and strength-based, developing methods to identify root causes of issues rather than targeting just symptoms. I am systems oriented, looking at the role of the environment (family/home, school, primary attachments) not just the individual. I am emotion-focused with a trauma-informed, attachment framework through modalities that include Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) and Emotionally Focused Couples/Family Therapy (EFT). I am trained in various mind-body therapies: EMDR, hypnosis, biofeedback, and Mindfulness-based strategies.
