Trish Schnabel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (LBA, BCBA). With expertise in both areas, she supports children, teens, and adults with mental health concerns, executive functioning challenges, and needs related to the autism spectrum. Her work emphasizes emotional well-being while helping clients build practical behavioral skills for relationships, coping, and everyday routines. She has more than 25 years of experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum, and her counseling background includes depression, anxiety, life stressors, military families, codependency, and ADD/ADHD.

She currently provides individual, group, and family therapy for clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and executive functioning difficulties. She blends counseling methods with evidence-based behavioral strategies, conducts thorough assessments, and creates treatment plans tailored to each client’s needs. She collaborates with other professionals to ensure coordinated care and has led workshops on autism, executive functioning, stress management, and practical coping tools. Her combined experience in counseling and behavior analysis helps her support both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients with clarity and respect.

Since 2010, Trish has also operated an ABA company offering therapeutic consultation for adults on the autism spectrum and individuals with developmental disabilities. Her work included interviewing families, observing daily routines, reviewing current supports, and identifying areas for improvement. She developed consultation and behavior support plans and trained caregivers, group home staff, and parents. She also provided one-on-one ABA therapy for children with autism, conducted behavioral assessments, recommended strategies for behavior change, implemented interventions, and supervised BCBA candidates and RBTs.

As a military spouse, Trish has volunteered for 20 years supporting military families and veterans during deployments, relocations, separations, and challenges involving combat stress and PTSD. She served on a state committee focused on reducing educational barriers for military children and received the Shield of Sparta and the Commander’s Award for Public Service. She continues to volunteer in her community and helped establish sensory-friendly movie showings that became a valued local program.

Her education includes a psychology degree from George Mason University, a Master of Education in Community Agency Counseling from Auburn University, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst Graduate Certification from Pennsylvania State University. She also appeared on “Wheel of Fortune” in January 2020, winning $65,495 and a trip to Italy.

These experiences continue to guide Trish Schnabel's meaningful work and life.
