Obtaining your license is hard work. I went through it and want to provide support and supervision to graduate level social workers and counselors. I am available to provide clinical supervision hours and guidance in the process to becoming the best that you can be.

If you have a history of trauma, substance abuse or have been diagnosed with a mental illness I realize that living life can be difficult and daunting as well as effect your interpersonal relationships and your ability to function day to day. My goal as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental safe space where my clients feel comfortable to express themselves and to provide the tools needed to navigate through difficult times and assist in managing and alleviating your symptoms. This is accomplished through Psychotherapy, Cognitive behavioral, Trauma Response, Grief work and Play Therapy.

I have an eclectic approach in terms of therapy models. I believe every individual benefits from a different combination of techniques. As an individual grows and changes techniques must be adapted and change as well. I use a lot of cognitive behavioral therapy, particularly acceptance and commitment therapy. Mindfulness and trauma focused therapy are also in heavy rotation and I back it all up with a lot of psycho-education. I believe it's important for clients to understand why they are responding to life the way they do so that they can create new patterns in their life.

My objective as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive therapeutic environment to aide my clients in reaching their goals. I have over 17 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings including inpatient and outpatient mental health, community mental health, residential treatment facilities, schools, and addiction treatment centers. I feel that therapy works best when it is collaborative and creative. I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and change, especially if they are provided with an encouraging, supportive environment.

Hey there! I feel so fortunate to have a specialty working with diverse sexualities, gender identities, and relationship structures over the past 18 years. Whether I am supporting individuals and their families with the coming-out process, assisting clients with social and/or medical transition, helping folx design relationships that actually work or creating a space where you can simply fall apart.. my hope for all of my clients is to learn how to love themselves and each other better and resolve differences more directly and fairly. I am extremely interpersonal in my work and if you'd like more clarity around that - just ask :)

My intention is for our time together to have value to you and for you to notice a difference in yourself not only over time, but immediately as well. I value mental health care that is more than symptom reduction. My emphasis is on human flourishing and helping you create a life with meaning. I use a mind and body-integrated approach to healing, such as increasing awareness of the Gut-Brain connection and incorporating Mindfulness practices along with traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you improve your mental wellness using all the ways your body naturally heals itself.

Dr. Schwartz has devoted her psychotherapy practice to working with adults who are confronting challenging life issues, including those related to relationships, parenting, employment, trauma and loss. While she has extensive training and experience in a range of approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma informed therapy. She recognizes that psychotherapy is most effective when it embraces the unique challenges faced by individuals. She is flexible in her approach and is guided at all times by what would be the most effective treatment in light of specific needs.

Throughout our lives, we often need support in overcoming personal and/or environmental challenges and addressing issues that prevent us from being successful, feeling fulfilled, and living healthy lives. Using a warm, genuine, and empathic approach, I work with clients to build trusting and collaborative relationships that help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experience emotional relief, and feel empowered to make profound change. By creating a safe and accepting environment, we will explore difficult or confusing experiences together with the goal of making sense of difficulties and where they may have originated.

Pain is often difficult to describe-it may even be unspeakable. As a licensed psychotherapist and researcher with experience in the areas of clinical psychology, clinical social work, and psychoanalysis, I offer a unique set of skills to help you deeply explore and understand the reasons you seek treatment. In my practice I offer a warm, nonjudgmental, and confidential space for you to say whatever comes to mind. It is my firm belief that when you speak freely and truly hear yourself lasting change can occur.

Plagued by unyielding thoughts that constantly interrupt your moments, always finding yourself wrestling, scrutinizing, revisiting, and attempting to make sense of these unwelcome mental intruders? I truly understand and here to help you. Breaking free from the chains of OCD is not just possible—it's a reality many have embraced. My commitment is to help you redefine your interactions with anxiety, encouraging you to face it courageously rather than retreating.

I can help you use your strengths to meet your goals. Let's engage in a you-focused, judgement free, empathetic, skillful and goal directed conversation. Let's work through the dark emotions together. With support it can once again feel safe to rekindle hope and reprocess the felt memories that stick. We will focus on your goals and view you as capable with strengths. Hope and healing is possible.

Hello and Welcome! I’m a bilingual therapist with experience working with individuals struggling with a wide range of psychiatric/emotional concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and grief. I also work with individuals who identify with sexual, gender, spiritual, and/or cultural minorities, professionals in the healthcare industry or first responders, those struggling with life transitions in their personal and/or professional life, and relationship concerns. I believe that healthy relationships are essential for our well-being and enjoy helping others to develop and strengthen those relationships.

You may find that you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not knowing how to navigate life's problems. Society and life expectations can be really good at telling us what we should choose, value, or what should be important. You may feel trapped in cycles of judgment, perfectionism, and over analysis, which could lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and stagnation. I am here to help you find your way out of the mind’s clever traps and to teach you to relate differently to these types of thinking patterns, so these thinking patterns can no longer hold power over you.

Do you feel anxious and depressed? Tiene poblema con anxiedad y depresion? 2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV 3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Sex can be difficult, understanding oneself as a sexual person can be confusing and relationships are complicated. My clients want sex to be better & more fulfilling. They're seeking strategies to modify, adapt, & change what they are doing so they can engage in satisfying sexual experiences and strengthen intimate relationships. They want to enjoy great sex again or maybe even for the first time. I specialize in low desire & lack of sexual enjoyment with common factors including postpartum, menopause, erectile dysfunction, cancer, physical disabilities, depression, anxiety, PTSD, veterans health, religious trauma, sexual trauma.

We all know the story of the straw that broke the camels back. Was it really the straw? Or was it that no one bothered to unload the camel of all of it's other burdens? Far to often in life we carry around our stress, trauma, fears, pain, and a host of other unhealthy baggage. Therapy can be a great tool for allowing us to unload, and work through the things we've been holding on to. I am a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) specializing in depression, mindfulness skills, & trauma processing. I am here to help you unpack, work through those experiences, and develop skills to manage whatever life may throw your way.

After trauma, we reach for whatever coping skill is closest in order to survive. We may turn to substances, self-harm, intellectualizing, perfectionism, etc. This helps us soothe, distract, and numb from feelings of shame, guilt, anger and fear. Still, our unprocessed emotions can overwhelm–morphing into anxiety, depression, rage, dissociation, or hyper-vigilance. However, this only represents a part of us and our experiences. We contain creativity, empathy, resilience, & intuition. Through our strengths, we increase our tolerance, release survival skills that no longer serve us, and return to our most liberated and aligned self.
