Welcome to Desert Sage Therapy!

My name is Susan Schneider, LMFT. I am licensed in Arizona and Wisconsin, specializing in Sex and Relationships, with 10+ years of counseling experience.  I utilize Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

I work with women and couples experiencing sexual intimacy concerns and challenges, both individually and in relationships.  I can help you with relationship issues, commitment, infidelity, separation and divorce, as well as many life changing and challenging times. 

As a "seasoned" professional (which for me means that I have experienced a rich, full and savory life), I believe that I can truly walk with you down many paths and challenges.  Some of my own personal paths that I have traveled include marriage, sexual  intimacy and mis-matched libido concerns, childbirth, parenting challenges, separation and divorce, death of a spouse, blended family life issues, empty-nesting, career changes, family of origin issues, caregiving aged parents, pre- and post-menopausal transitions, and everything else in-between. 

As we live out our life stories, we can, at times, feel lost and adrift, whether that be personally, professionally, or in a relationship. We can lose hope that we'll ever get back on track, that we can see our way through.

As your therapist, I will come alongside you and invite you to explore the possibilities of YOU. Whether you are struggling with sexual intimacy, relationship challenges or life changes, I will create a gentle and safe place where you can sit, breathe, reflect and gain clarity about who you are and what you desire. 

I would be honored to work with you as you embark on this journey. If you’re ready for me to help you tell your story, I’m ready too.
