Most people have unique questions about themselves to which they cannot seem to find satisfactory answers. These questions may have to do with relationship choices, career paths, worries and fears, nagging feelings, or a seemingly lost identity. In therapy, Dr. Schettler works alongside individuals to piece together the answers to these questions. She hopes to help in this process by making space for them to figure out who they are, if unsure, or become more comfortable with the person they know and want themselves to be. This kind of self-understanding and self-acceptance often unlocks the answers to people’s questions. Sometimes Dr. Schettler will offer an additional nudge to encourage someone to see things differently than they have in the past. In turn, their relationships can often become easier and more fulfilling, enjoyment can be found in their work, and feelings and worries seem more manageable.

It is Dr. Schettler’s hope to offer individuals a new perspective on themselves, their relationships, and their choices. She believes that the perspective she has gained not only in her training, but also in her experience with many cultures, many individuals, and many types of problems provides her clients with the opportunity to understand themselves in a new way.

Dr. Schettler looks forward to meeting you, discussing your questions, and finding a comfortable style, frequency, and fee for your work. Please call for a consultation session.
