About

Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT, works at the intersection of mental health and technology. With master's degrees in both Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapy, and 15 years of experience as a Chief Technology Officer, he brings a uniquely grounded perspective to one of the most pressing questions in mental health today: How do people relate to AI, and what does that relationship reveal about them?

Jeremy is the developer of the AI Awareness Arc, a clinical and educational framework for understanding safe, self-aware AI use in emotional support contexts. He teaches clinicians how to assess and respond to client AI use in therapy, and teaches individuals how to use AI without losing perspective, autonomy, or themselves in the process. He lectures at graduate programs, provides continuing education for mental health professionals, and leads ongoing public workshops.
