Professional statement

Katie Schwartz is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington, DC who specializes in anxiety, depression, substance use and addiction, personality disorders, thought disorders, and working with children.

Katie takes a psychodynamic lens to treatment; she prefers to get to know her client’s history and present lifestyle to help shape the best course of treatment. She also utilizes skills-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for personality and mood disorders. Additionally, she enjoys making use of expressive arts when working with clients who are managing addiction or substance use.

Katie’s practice is open to individuals across the lifespan. She enjoys working in a collaborative nature with clients to help them dig deeper, explore their thought and behavior patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies that empower them to enact change in their own lives.

Message to clients

One of my favorite therapist sayings is, "if nothing changes, nothing changes." I sincerely enjoy helping clients explore all of the unique strengths and coping skills that they already know, and then supporting them in discovering and using new skills to improve their mental health. In my practice, connection-building with my clients is extremely important. I always want to create a safe space where any person can feel validated, supported, and understood. All of us deserve the opportunity to feel our best and I would be honored to help you discover what your best looks like.
