A Journey in Counseling Excellence

Terri Schmitz is currently a licensed therapist in private practice specializing in highly individualized therapy that draws from her education and experience of the past 30 years in the fields of psychology and counseling.

Ms. Schmitz holds a Masters Degree from California State University in Guidance and Counseling. Terri's first job after attaining her Master's Degree was helping injured workers find jobs that fit within their interests and physical limitations.

Terri also worked with children with learning disabilities and juvenile offenders and taught kindergarten for four years in California after earning her bachelor's Degree from Central Missouri State University.

Terri's therapy style is eclectic, but she leans toward the Cognitive Behavioral approach therapy. This includes insight therapy as well as behavior modification. The two systems work well together. She is also a proponent of mindfulness in all that we do.

As you can tell from my specialty list, I have focused my counseling experiences in a variety of areas. I enjoy working with people and helping them to improve their lives and I feel that I am able to connect with people easily.
