Ms Sarah Schwartz

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I work hard to build a strong therapeutic alliance with each and every client with whom I work. I am empathetic, genuine, and intentional. I enjoy meeting with both teens and young adults. I work well with clients who are motivated, solution-focused, and may be facing life transition, anxiety, and depression struggles.”

About Me

I build strong, genuine connections with teens and young adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression. My empathetic and intentional approach suits motivated, solution-focused clients seeking practical ways forward. We work together to explore challenges, finding clear steps and fostering resilience. I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard and empowered to address your struggles.

Approach

I prioritize turning our conversations into usable plans that feel grounded and doable for you. In Chicago and online, in English, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—short-term goals set each week, homework or check-ins when helpful, and focused diagnostic assessment when clarity is needed. I listen for patterns, help you test practical strategies, and adjust based on what actually shifts. This approach tends to suit motivated adolescents and young adults looking for clear progress through anxiety, depression, or transitions.
