Thea Schmidt, MSW, LGSW

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Finding a therapist that you're comfortable with is so important. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore why things feel hard. 

I am open-minded, non-pathologizing, affirming, and tend to do more depth-focused work. Some therapists might be behavior focused, I am not. I am most interested in the thoughts and feelings underneath the behavior. 

I tend to work primarily with people who have CPTSD or have experienced some form of trauma or abuse. I also work with a lot of neurodivergence, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions, hoarding, and issues around family dynamics.

I see both couples and individuals. I’m in network with most insurances. My foundation is in social work and psychodynamic theory. I have advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and Emotionally Focussed Couples Therapy (EFT). I am also able to offer discernment counseling for couples considering separation or divorce. 

I take an eclectic approach to therapy. Every individual has their own special way of showing up and I respect that you are the expert of your life. I am here to offer my limitless curiosity, whole hearted empathy, and sincere compassion to help support you. It is my great honor to do this work. Please reach out for a complimentary phone or video call.
