My name is Toby Schwartz, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from New York University in 2009, and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Social Work (DSW) at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, with an expected graduation in 2027.
My clinical practice specializes in supporting individuals navigating eating disorders, body dysmorphia, diet culture deprogramming, and the complex trauma associated with weight bias. In addition to these specialties, I provide evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, childhood relational trauma, and general relationship or life transitions. I am dedicated to creating a supportive space where clients can heal, process trauma, and navigate life's challenges.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for integrative, whole-person care.

I believe that true wellness requires dedicated attention to both.
Hi there! You’ve already taken one of the hardest steps toward a healthier life by being here. That takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here.
I believe every person has inherent dignity, worth, and the capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you pursue healing, hope, and meaningful change.
I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Regent University School of Psychology and Counseling. My graduate training included a concentration in spirituality and was grounded in the belief, “To God alone be the glory.” That perspective continues to shape my work today. I approach counseling with humility, recognizing that healing can occur in many ways, and I am honored to use my clinical training in service to others with compassion, respect, and evidence based care.
I welcome individuals from all faiths, spiritual traditions, cultural backgrounds, and those who do not identify with a religion. Whether faith is central to your life or not, therapy will be tailored to your values, beliefs, culture, and personal goals. If you would like to incorporate spirituality into your care, I am honored to support that part of your journey.
During my clinical training, I specialized in healthy relationships, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. I also have extensive experience in suicide prevention, crisis intervention, behavioral health, anxiety, depression, trauma, moral injury, grief and loss, relationship concerns, neurodiversity, parenting skills, individuals with special needs and their family members, LGBTQ+ concerns, and major life transitions.
I am highly experienced counselor with 24 years of experience. My primary goal is to help clients regain mental wellness and stability through a comprehensive, personalized approach. While I maintains a robust general practice, my niche expertise lies in Integrated Nutrition for Mental Wellness, offering highly specialized modalities to a diverse clientele. The overarching mission is to help clients regain mental stability through a comprehensive, personalized approach.
