Eden Schwartz, LCSW (she/her)
Adult, Child, and Adolescent psychotherapy in downtown Brooklyn.
My clinical approach is grounded in the belief that curiosity, creativity, and connection are invaluable to understanding and coping with our most overwhelming experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
Having a background in theater and music informs my holistic perspective on self-expression and I prioritize creating an inclusive therapeutic space, which is anti-oppressive and anti-racist, neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and gender and sexuality-affirming.
It is my belief that everyone deserves a collaborative and trusting relationship with a therapist who can offer warmth, consistency, and acceptance during the most isolating emotional experiences. I am psychodynamically oriented and I’ve received additional training in Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and child therapy. I have extensive experience with young adults and adolescents in both school-based and private practice settings as well as with children between the ages of 4-10.
As a clinician, my aim is to empower the adults and young people I work with to see their value when they are most insecure, to process the experiences that have caused them harm, to invite self-inquiry that sheds light on their innate resilience, and to offer ways of coping with their most destabilizing moments.
When not in sessions, I can be found playing banjo or walking my beloved pitbull.
