Erica Schwartz

My communication style

With empathy, I create a safe space for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, or grief. I empower my clients to identify negative thought patterns, explore solutions, and tap into their strengths, guiding them toward resilience and healing. My holistic approach not only fosters understanding and acceptance.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a mental health therapist began in my early college years when I volunteered at a teen crisis hotline. I discovered my passion for helping others navigate their emotional struggles. Inspired by the profound impact of compassionate listening and guidance, I pursued a B.A. in psychology, followed by a degree in Social Work.

My goals for you

Goal setting plays a crucial role in mental health treatment, serving as a powerful tool for both therapists and clients. By collaboratively establishing clear, achievable goals, clients gain a sense of direction and purpose in their mental health journey. Goal setting encourages motivation and a sense of accomplishment as each goal is met.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you’ll feel comfortable discussing your concerns. I will start by introducing myself and explaining my approach to therapy. I will ask about your reasons for seeking help, your background, and any specific issues you’re facing, such as anxiety, depression, grief, or stress.
