Helene Schneider, MA, MFT

I strongly recommend Helene if you are looking for a wonderful, funny, smart, honest therapist. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and very easy to open up too. I saw her for about 5 years or so and she helped me through some of the toughest times of my life.
Coming from a family who isn’t really into therapy I was very shocked to realize how important it was to have someone help you and be able to be truthful with you, even when you don’t want to hear it. I can totally be myself in her session and just let it all go by the end of our appointment. Even her guidance and words has helped me help friends in similar situations.
I’ve since moved away from the Bay Area and miss her greatly! She’s helped me become a much stronger, more open, honest woman and I’ll forever be grateful client. I believe my life is better now since working with Helene and she made me a believer of therapy!

Helene is an outstanding therapist and a supportive, thoughtful, and insightful coach. She helped me sort through work-​related challenges in a way that was constructive and empowering.

I highly recommend Helene. She has helped me through some major transitions. She is warm, welcoming and insightful.
I have seen other therapists who have pushed their own agendas but with Helene, my concerns are always addressed.
I have always felt very comfortable discussing the uncomfortable and this has been key to my growth.
Even when I had what felt like I was dealing with insurmountable problems, I left her office feeling lighter and hopeful.

Fantastic therapist. I’m a long term client and have used Helene for everything from crisis management to life coaching. She has been a key contributor to my success in relationships, business and personal achievement. Helene is always available based on my schedule and is never, ever late. In 10+ years she has never cancelled an appointment. She is kind, considerate, knowledgeable, professional, funny and talented. I would highly and confidentially recommend Helene to anyone from any walk of life needing guidance, support, direction or simply the BEST set of ears in town.

Thanks to Unilocal I found Helene Schneider and I am SO grateful! I initially contacted Helene via email and received a very prompt reply. We set up a brief complimentary phone consultation and in that 15 minutes on the phone with her I just knew I had to work with her. I had a huge «aha moment» on that phone call and I thought to myself that if I got that in 15 minutes, what can I achieve with regular sessions?
I have been to a handful of other therapists in my adult life and Helene, without question, is the BEST. She opened my eyes in that first 15 minutes and every single session with her I walk out with a better understanding of who I am and the changes I need to make in my life to get me where I want to be. I have grown leaps and bounds since I started seeing her three months ago. She is a warm and compassionate person and very easy to open up and talk to. She is amazing and I am always talking about her to my friends because I am just so excited about the improvements I have made in my life since working with her. I always look forward to my session with her because I know something enlightening will come out of it. I have never been more comfortable in my skin as I am today thanks to Helene.
I highly, highly, highly recommend her. Pick up the phone and call her now. There is no need to look further. She will make a tremendous difference in your life!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HER.
In just a few weeks Helene has helped me grow in ways I didn’t know i could. Her approach instantly puts you at easy which will enables you to openly talk about what is on your mind. Ten minutes into each session you start to understand what steps you need to take to remove the challenges or barriers in your personal or professional life.
I def recommend anyone looking for a life coach or therapist to call her.
Helene has helped me find enlightenment and for that I thank you.

I truly believe there is no one Helene can’t provide with some assistance or enlightenment — she’s that good at what she does.
I had been struggling with some major life stressors and felt I’d reached a breaking point, when I finally placed a call to a therapist I had researched a bit online, Helene. After talking with her for just a few minutes, I felt a tremendous weight lifted — I had finally sought help, and could tell immediately how caring she is. I’ve now been a client of Helene’s for a year, and I’m so thankful I found her. She has helped me immeasurably as far as dealing with illness and other challenges. I’ve never left her office without having some provocative concept, quote, or analysis beg further thought and reflection. I find myself applying these practices or concepts to my life without realizing it, and then quickly recognize that I have the work I’m doing with Helene to thank for «tuning in» to my life in this way.
I wholeheartedly recommend Helene. She is highly compassionate and insightful, but more importantly she genuinely cares; she is committed to helping her clients, and is clearly invested in their well-​being from the very first session.

Helene is a remarkable therapist and person. She has helped me and my family through the loss of my first husband, dating and then remarrying (and the challenges that comes with blending families). She has an ability to make you feel like you are just a friend stopping by to chat. She is always professional, flexible and dependable. She’s very well read and informed on a lot of topics. She takes the initiative to research things to better understand topics she may not be as well versed on. Not sure where I’d be without her!

I am a food addict and cancer survivor! Without Helene, I would never be the strong woman I am today. Helene counseled me through gastric bypass surgery (almost 8 years ago) and my food addiction, as well as through my ovarian cancer diagnosis and healing process. Helene helped me to change my life with respect to dealing with longstanding mother issues. She was never afraid to ask me the really hard questions, challenging me to look at all the possibilities. Therapy is not supposed to be easy. It is hard work. When I moved from the Bay Area to Arizona, I continued my therapy sessions with Helene by phone. I have been to many therapists throughout my 48 years, but Helene has been the only one who has the most intuitive ability to see through my ordinary clutter and get to the heart of my issues. I have been working with Helene for over nine years, and her ability to zone in on my feelings never ceases to amaze me.

I’m told this has been removed so I’m resending this. Please excuse if it is a duplicate:
When I first came to see Helene, I admit I had some hesitation as we are opposites when it comes to race, gender and culture. I found an insightful professional with a listening ear. She has obviously used her life to find out about different kinds of people and never stereotyped me. She is just as willing to guide as she is to learn. Therapy isn’t supposed to be magic but. sometimes she makes you wonder.
I have now been seeing her over 10 years

Upon my first phone session with Helene, I learned that she’s an amazing and caring person. I always leave feeling better and she makes you feel at home and safe.
Never one to judge and always wanting you to work out the hard issues. I’ve been going to her for three years and everyday am satisfied with all the progress I’ve made.
