We have all been through so much in our lives. Many of life's stresses we can handle, but when anxiety and trauma are present, it is difficult. Events and memories can impact us for years even if we don't know it. If you wonder what is blocking you from accomplishing your goals, whether personal or professional, I have approaches that help. You may have tried to figure it out on your own, read books, gone to workshops, and been in therapy or coaching. I work with people using a focused yet gentle collaborative approach. For 30 years I have helped people get clear and move forward.

Life is increasingly busy and complex. Compassionate Brain Life Coaching (CPLC), helps you to press the pause button, slow down and remember and or newly discover who you are. Science tells us that our brains at rest are actually programmed to be happy. But it sure doesn't always feel that way. CBLC equips you with the cognitive and mindfulness tools to counter the self-critic and manage difficult times. I will help you identify, name and validate the places you go under stress, with a view to exploring what works and creating newly, including moving from surviving to thriving.

When done with sensitivity and genuineness in the contained and safe environment I provide, therapy or life coaching can be a highly useful tool to pry yourself loose from those 'stuck' places so you can begin making safe, healthy, and effective choices for yourself, your family, and your future.
Let's face it...life happens! We try our best to make the environment around us as comfortable as possible for ourselves, and many times we succeed. Then, there are those times when we just feel stuck and frustrated, perhaps even discouraged. Often, if we stay in those 'stuck' places for too long, we end up feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, angry, insecure, vulnerable, unmotivated, or just plain moody. It almost feels like there's some hidden knowledge that could unlock that 'stuck' feeling and let us get back to, or begin, feeling motivated and confident about the direction of our lives.

Counseling may take different forms depending on whether you’re dealing with a significant life transition, loss, or have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety.

Bringing years of coaching experience to counseling, I hold a safe place for you to explore your internal life as well as your natural ability to shine in activities and relationships. Positive connection with others is how we discover---or rediscover---a place of safety and wholeness in our lives.

I integrate depth/meaning psychotherapy, evidence-based tools, sex therapy, coaching, counseling.
Do other therapists seem judgmental? Don't understand? Won't listen to you? If you need to talk about anything and everything, clients tell me I have a strong capacity for compassion, empathy, and care. At the same time, I’m forthright and candid. I see you and hear you—a whole person (body, mind, spirit) living in an interactive and interconnected world. I believe you're the expert in you - even if you're not yet aware of it. My role is to help you find that, and bring my own holistic vision, experience, training, expertise, and tools to the table, so you can work to be the best possible version of you. I am a trauma specialist.

As a result, clients quickly sense hope that at last their commitment to therapy or coaching can produce lasting results .
See my website rogerschwarz.com, including the video, about who I treat and how I work. I welcome you if you're at that point where you just don't want to continue feeling the same lousy way so much of the time. Usually that's caused by not being able to stop getting triggered no matter how much willpower you muster. It's hard to stay positive when the triggering constantly leads to predictable behavior that leads to predictable, hurtful results.

Coaching Therapists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
