I am Jackie Schnellinger and I am a licensed professional counselor who has been practicing for 32 + years in the mental health field. My past experience has been in both clinical and school environments, and my work has been primarily with children and families. Most recently, I have been certified in Synergetic Play therapy.

The Synergetic Play Therapy Institute (SPTI) is home to Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT). This research-informed model of play therapy combines the therapeutic powers of play with nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, physics, attachment, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity.

I am passionate about the possibilities for healing and growth in all people. I strive to help parents develop a deeper connection and understanding of their child’s feelings and behaviors.
