Maitri means "unconditional regard for your own experience." The two founders, Jeanne Snyder and Sandy Zboyan, chose this Buddhist word to capture the essence of their client's process in private counseling, weekend workshops and weekly group gatherings at the Maitri Institute.

Established in 2003, the Maitri Institute is the result of 15 years of shared business ventures between the founders. Therapeutic practices at Maitri include traditional methods of counseling, EMDR*, Enneagram, and programs based on the family constellation work of renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Bert Helleinger. Both Jeanne and Sandy work with individuals, couples, families and organizations.
