Parker Schneider
Licensed Professional Counselor, Trauma Therapist -
Sometimes we experience things in life that cause us to harden; we end up having to create armor to walk through the world more safely. There’s so much wisdom in that armor, in the ways we learn to protect ourselves. And sometimes that armor does not serve us; it gets in the way of truly living, and experiencing care and support from those we want to let in. What would it be like to only wear that armor, to only harden when you choose? What could life look like if you learn to soften when you choose?
I have my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy. Much of my work is with adults navigating the impact of complex and developmental trauma, as well as the impacts of acute traumas. Additionally, I work with intergenerational and gestational trauma.
Individuals drawn to my practice are often working to heal from childhood abuse and neglect, sexual violence, intimate partner abuse or domestic violence, hate crimes, and other forms of oppression (with the foundation of understanding oppression IS trauma, and trauma IS oppression).
I have a liberation and social justice oriented framework, systemic perspective and intersectional approach in my work. I am a somatic therapist and incorporate understanding of research in the trauma field focused in neurophysiological impacts of trauma. I utilize practices from Hakomi, Gestalt, EMDR Therapy, and skills portions of DBT. Additionally, I incorporate nature-based therapy, experiential therapy, and mindfulness practices.
I believe there’s hope and that healing is possible. I’m here to help you on your healing journey. Email me to set up a free 30-minute consultation to get a better sense of if I might be a fit for your therapeutic needs.
**Please Note that I am not currently offering sessions in an office. I see folks online via HIPAA-compliant Zoom or outdoors in natural areas for in-person outdoor sessions (for more info on outdoor work, please see my website!). I hope to offer sessions in an office in Fort Collins in the near future**
