Psychotherapy Testimonials

"I had worked with a couple of therapists before I met Dr Schwartz.  During our first session it became clear to me what had been lacking in previous therapeutic relationships - the relationship!  Each time we meet he creates a space that allows presence and participation and commitment to the work of healing.  His professionalism, breadth of knowledge and experience and his compassion have been invaluable to me during the large and small struggles of a complicated life."

"David helped me figure out why I was over-functioning in my relationships and how that kept creeping up in problematic ways in my life. After trying a handful of therapists, who unsuccessfully tried cookie-cutter approaches to my issues, it was so refreshing to find someone who took the time and the space to really listen and get to know me. His personalized therapy and unique style gave me the support I needed to make leaps that have drastically changed my life for the better."

“David was intensely and steadfastly present, grounded, centered, and patient with me in a way I have not experienced before from another person, let alone another therapist. As a result, in addition to helping me work through the more immediate psychological pain I was experiencing, I learned how to treat myself with that same presence.

Our work together gave me a completely new and much needed emotional center. Before, it felt like I would be washed away and be lost to grief, pain, depression and anxiety. Now there is something constant, something steady - even amidst turmoil I can rely on this center to weather the storm. It is an entirely different mode of operation for me, and has held true for 4 years since our work together.”
