Getting to know Katie Schwarz
I have almost a decade of client care under my belt?case management, crisis work, residential treatment, hospital settings?you name it, I've probably done it! But being one-on-one in the outpatient setting is my absolute favorite place to be. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my client peel back their most vulnerable layers and put their pieces back together, better than they were before. While I have experience with many issues and disorders, some of my niches are trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and codependency. I tend to favor Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Interpersonal Skills, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and most importantly, person-centered care. I work with individuals 18 years of age and older. I am a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Aurora University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Are you wondering how life can be so wonderful yet so incredibly difficult at the same time? Are you often waiting for the day to end, just to dread a new one beginning? We all have bad days – but we don’t need to be suffering. Don’t let the bad days win! And if you’re reading this…that means you’ve made one giant step towards trying to take care of yourself.
Life is hard, there’s no denying that. Taking care of ourselves is hard too. One perk of being a human is that sometimes, we get to choose our hard. So, choose the hard that has that has the most hope! Are you sick of hearing that “it’ll get better soon or just hang in there”, who wants to wait around for that? Let’s start taking steps towards better NOW, so that you can stop waiting for the day to end and actually start looking forward for the next one to begin.
I offer sessions in the daytime, evening and weekend hours. We can “hangout” in person or you can hold session from the comfort of your own home via telehealth. I always prioritize client’s comfort and provide a peaceful and cozy atmosphere so clients feel safe to talk about their hardest days. I look forward to hearing from you!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
All new client paperwork needs to be completed via the patient portal prior to initial appointment. I also require a credit card to be kept on file through the patient portal. IF NEW CLIENT PAPERWORK IS NOT COMPLETED 48 HOURS PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT, APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELED AND THE CLIENT WILL NOT BE SEEN.
Please give a 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule appointment. Canceling within 24-hour period or no-showing for appointment may result in late cancelation / no show fines.
