Salena Schwartz

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.

Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—and when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way forward with clarity and confidence.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including:

• Teenagers and young adults
• Adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions
• Women and single mothers
• Men facing male-specific challenges
• Older adults navigating aging-related concerns

I also work with couples, parents, and business partners, helping strengthen communication, emotional understanding, and connection.

My Approach

My therapy style is warm, empathetic, and direct—balancing compassion with gentle challenge to support growth and self-reflection. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, heard, and understood.

My work is grounded in evidence-based, connection-focused practices, including:

• Solution-Focused Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I take an eclectic, client-centered approach, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, develop effective coping strategies, and strengthen emotional awareness and communication.

Areas of Focus

• Anxiety and depression
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions and adjustment
• Relationship challenges and communication
• Parenting stress
• Aging and later-life concerns
• Women’s issues

I believe our past experiences shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. Therapy can help you make sense of those experiences and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

What to Expect in Therapy

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where we’ll discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, your background, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll begin setting goals at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an act of courage. Therapy provides the tools and support to navigate life’s hardest moments and create meaningful, lasting change.
