Wendy Schwartz, LCSW

Psychotherapist
HI
Hi there, I'm Wendy! My name is Wendy Schwartz, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based on the Hilo side of the Big Island. I work with clients statewide through Telehealth. I primarily work with adults and specialize in supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and my Bachelor’s degree from Marquette University. My approach I believe in a person-centered approach to care, understanding that each individual's needs are unique. This drives my therapeutic approach. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as these practices are rooted in mindfulness and non-judgment of self. This framework allows us to create shared meaning and understanding, which forms the foundation of our therapeutic relationship. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults navigating difficult relationships, working through trauma, managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and handling stress. I have also worked extensively with individuals who have served in the military. I strive to help you work through challenges and build skills that allow you to feel better about yourself and your outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and empathetic. I work hard to cultivate a space where you feel comfortable talking with me about anything. Listening without judgment is crucial to the safety and trust we build in therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up in the Midwest and have lived on the Big Island for the past eight years. I was drawn to social work as an opportunity to work with individuals in many areas of life and to honor the unique cultures and backgrounds that guide and shape their lives. It is my honor to spend my career walking with individuals on their path to healing.
