Ms Jill Schwartz

Family Therapist

“An experienced compassionate psychotherapist working with adults, children and families struggling with depression, anxiety and trauma”

About Me

This compassionate psychotherapist understands the weight of depression, anxiety, and trauma across all ages. They guide adults, children, and families towards greater wellbeing. With extensive experience, they offer a supportive space where individuals can explore challenges. This approach helps families navigate difficult emotions together, fostering resilience and understanding. Clients find a dedicated partner in moving from struggle towards lasting stability.

Approach

Holding the weight clients bring, I move from attentive listening into clear, collaborative steps that help families, couples, and young people feel steadier and more understood. In Ventura I see clients in person and online in English, keeping sessions grounded, paced to your needs, and flexible between appointments. Sessions blend practical skills, faith-sensitive reflection, and gentle attention to past hurts so you can try new patterns both in session and at home. Those seeking steady, patient support through change often find this approach helpful.
