Helaina Schneider, LMSW

I work with adults and couples navigating relationships, breakups, and life transitions, with a particular passion for supporting women. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping clients better understand relationship patterns, strengthen communication, and move through change with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a genuine partnership. In our work, I’ll meet you with warmth and curiosity while also offering practical tools to help you build insight, resilience, and more intentional ways of relating to yourself and others. Drawing from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches, my goal is to help you move through difficult moments while developing a stronger, clearer sense of yourself and creating relationships and a life that feel more aligned with who you are.

Working with Helena has completely shifted how I view therapy. It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s growth, and it’s me finally giving myself a chance, something I deserve.

What stands out most about working with Helaina is how natural everything feels. It never felt like I had to “fix” myself or come in with the right words. Somehow, she created a space where I can just be, and in that, I started to understand myself in a way i didn’t before.

She's a great person to talk to, and takes the time to engage in genuine conversation with her clients.

My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on helping you feel truly heard in moments of change or challenge. I work with adults and couples navigating relationship struggles and life transitions, with a particular passion for supporting women as they move through periods of change, uncertainty, and growth. Whether you’re navigating a breakup, adjusting to a new chapter, struggling in your relationship, or noticing patterns that keep showing up in your connections with others, therapy can be a space to slow down, untangle what’s happening, and better understand what you need.

For couples, I help partners better understand the patterns shaping their relationship, communicate more effectively, and work through areas of conflict or disconnection. Rather than focusing only on the immediate problem, we’ll also look at what may be happening underneath it and how each partner contributes to the dynamic.
