Ari Schwartz, Registered Clinical Social Work Intern
Hi, I’m Ari. I believe therapy works best as a partnership where you can just be yourself. I’m a real person, just like you, and I believe real progress happens when you find the right match in a therapist. Maybe you’re at a point where you’re just getting by, or maybe you’re thriving in some areas but feel stuck in others. Either way, my goal is to create a safe space where we can stay focused on what matters most to you.
My approach is eclectic and person-centered, meaning I adapt my tools to fit your specific needs. Some of my clients describe me as very professional, but I also bring an upbeat personality to our sessions if that’s where you’re at. Whether we’re untangling relationship patterns, breaking family cycles, or learning to treat anxiety like a neighbor you tolerate rather than an enemy, I’ve got you.
I work with a diverse range of challenges, including Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Depression, Trauma/PTSD, and low self-esteem. Since so much of our well-being is tied to how we connect with others, I focus heavily on attachment, dating, codependency, and relationship issues. I am also passionate about helping men build emotional language—though I work with women too and welcome everyone across all identities and expressions.
I come from a multicultural background and value the unique perspective that brings to my work; I don't know everything about your specific background, so I’m always open to learning from you. I am also dedicated to providing inclusive, and specialized care for the Latinx/Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ communities.
You don’t have to do this alone; let’s work together to make some real ground.
También ofrezco sesiones en español y estoy aquí para ayudarte.
