Seeking a therapist who truly understands the complexity of your experience is a significant first step. I am Dr. G. Nathanael Schwarz, a licensed Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for children (ages 5+) and adults. My practice is built on a foundation of collaboration and a non-pathologizing, holistic view of your mental health.
What sets my practice apart is an elevated standard of care that extends well beyond the therapy room. I draw on extensive experience across diverse treatment settings—from intensive residential care to outpatient support—to offer a customized, modular approach. Whether we are utilizing CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed interventions, I integrate biological, psychological, and social factors to help you navigate your challenges effectively.
Beyond individual therapy, I act as an active partner in your journey. My practice includes:
Integrated Support: I collaborate directly with schools and other healthcare providers to ensure your care is cohesive.
Practical Tools: From parent coaching and school consultation (including IEP/504 advocacy) to phone coaching for between-session support, I provide the practical tools necessary for real-world application.
Measurement-Informed Progress: I utilize data-driven screening and evaluation to ensure we are consistently tracking your progress and adjusting strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you are looking for a dedicated clinician who prioritizes evidence-based methods and comprehensive, coordinated support, I invite you to reach out.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
Approach Description: I prioritize behavioral treatments by incorporating cognitive and other evidence-based interventions through a modular approach. My therapeutic style is defined by warmth and directness, as I help clients identify, prioritize, and solve complex problems while teaching essential life skills. By weaving together elements of CBT, DBT, and TF-CBT, I tailor my approach to fit the unique needs of each individual. This integrated narrative focuses on building core competencies such as distress tolerance for managing crises, emotion regulation to improve stability, and interpersonal effectiveness for setting healthy boundaries. Additionally, I utilize the PEERS approach to enhance social functioning and communication skills. For those navigating depression, I naturally integrate DBT and Behavioral Activation to foster meaningful change and emotional recovery.

Choosing a therapist who truly understands the complexity of your experience is a significant and courageous first step. I am Dr. G. Nathanael Schwarz, a licensed Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for children (ages 5+) and adults. My practice is built on a foundation of collaboration, compassion, and a non-pathologizing view of your mental health.
My Clinical Philosophy
I believe that effective therapy requires more than just listening; it requires a partnership focused on actionable, measurable growth. My approach is data-driven and measurement-informed, ensuring we are consistently tracking your progress and adjusting strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes. By integrating biological, psychological, and social factors, I offer a customized, modular approach tailored to your specific needs, whether you are seeking relief from immediate symptoms or looking to foster long-term emotional resilience.
Expertise & Specialized Approaches
My clinical framework is grounded in two primary evidence-based pillars: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
CBT & Behavioral Activation: I use these to help you decode the roots of your difficulties, challenge negative cognitive patterns, and examine the behavioral antecedents and consequences that maintain problematic cycles.
DBT Integration: Drawing on extensive, specialized training, I use DBT as a practical, skills-based toolkit. We go beyond traditional talk therapy to focus on the "how"—teaching concrete strategies like distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to replace reactive patterns with intentional, skillful responses.
Areas of Specialization
ADHD & Impulse Control: My expertise in these areas is supported by specialized post-doctoral training in externalizing problems, providing a deep understanding of the neurological and environmental factors driving reactive behaviors. I help clients—children and adults alike—navigate executive functioning difficulties and implement practical, intentional strategies to regain control.
Depression & Anxiety: I specialize in helping individuals move from feelings of hopelessness or avoidance to a place of empowered engagement. Whether addressing the weight of depression or the fear-based avoidance of social anxiety, I provide a compassionate environment to help you rebuild your engagement with life and restore a sense of purpose.
Stress & Crisis Support: I provide specialized, compassionate support for individuals struggling with chronic stress, suicidal ideation, or intense emotional crisis. My approach is safety-first; I work collaboratively to develop personalized safety plans, identify warning signs, and build the distress tolerance skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions and restore stability.
Parenting & Systems Advocacy: I view the family unit as an essential system. I provide parent coaching that goes beyond simple advice, focusing on consistent behavioral management, improved communication, and strengthening the parent-child relationship. I also provide direct consultation for school advocacy, assisting with IEP and 504 plan development to ensure your child’s needs are met in the classroom.
Collaborative Care
My practice extends well beyond the therapy room. I actively collaborate with schools, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers to ensure your care is cohesive. My goal is to provide a dedicated, evidence-based roadmap that helps you (or your child) navigate life’s challenges with greater calm, clarity, and sustainable resilience.
