Dr. Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist trained to treat a wide range of mental health difficulties including anxiety (OCD, GAD, Specific Phobias, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety), depression, eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, insomnia, and substance use disorders. He typically works with late adolescents and adults from a variety of backgrounds.
Dr. Schwartz primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) though he frequently incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training and acceptance-based approaches into his treatment.
Dr. Schwartz believes in the importance of providing evidence-based treatments that can be adapted to fit the individual goals and needs of each person. He was trained as a scientist practitioner and has worked as a clinician on several NIH-funded treatment studies for PTSD and eating disorders.
Dr. Schwartz believes therapy works best when patients and therapists work collaboratively to set goals and track progress. He aims to help patients recognize and utilize the strengths and tools the already patient already has, build and strengthen new ones, and encourage practice of those skills to grow and adapt.
