My approach goes beyond straightforward talk therapy because I believe the storyteller is sometimes more interesting than the story. We will track the body and the mind to see what feelings, impulses, memories, and images exist under the words. My practice is strongly informed by mindfulness and body interventions that ground you in the present moment and encourage you to pay attention to your bodily sensations, feelings, and beliefs to speed up the important process of healing and self-discovery and will help you overcome therapeutic barriers and regain your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) within the State of Michigan and am a National Board Certified Counselor (NCC). I am the owner of the private practice Schwartz Therapy + Wellness, P.C located in Bingham Farms, MI. My philosophy for therapy is, "small steps every day", this phrase means we are working to take a step forward on your path to understanding yourself. That step is a step of exploration to assist you in becoming a more self aware person. It is a small step, not a leap, nor a run, the point is that little by little you are making a conscious effort to keep moving forward on your journey in life.

I am passionate about my work with individuals, couples and families. My ideal clients are people who are mature and interested in personal growth. I derive satisfaction from helping people connect more deeply to an inner knowledge of themselves. I believe if you discover the patterns in your life that aren't working and are able to substitute new ways of problem solving and communicating then balance and harmony are restored. This provides an opportunity to discover a deeper connection and purpose to life and relationships.

For people from disrupted families, nontraditional families, survivors of physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse, relational trauma, and parents of children with special needs...by working within a safe, trusting, supportive space that is just for you, together we can help you understand what's troubling you, feel better, and improve the quality of your life. I believe that through the therapeutic process people can learn, grow, and develop into the person they want to be.

I have experience working with a variety of populations who struggle with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress management, and relationship issues

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, or stuck; therapy will help you develop personal awareness, ease painful patterns, and help you to take control of your life. I partner with individuals to ease discomfort and meet their essential goals. In therapy, you will find new ways to meet these goals through the supportive reflection of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I provide a non judgmental space for healing as well as guidance towards developing new practices.

If sadness, worry, stress, chronic pain, and/or substance use is holding you back from getting what you want out of life, it is time to seek help. These symptoms can sometimes slow down, or even prevent, success in school, at work, and with relationships. I can help you understand how your thoughts and behaviors may be contributing to your symptoms, and how to change them so you can feel better. Your treatment plan and your goals are up to you; you decide what you want to change and how you'd like me to help you make those changes.
