About Brittany Schwarten

Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who centers her practice on offering practical tools while empowering individuals to lead their own change. With 11 years of clinical experience, she brings presence, attentive listening, and a commitment to meaningful impact into each interaction.

Her background spans private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level care settings, where she has led several types of groups including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) group sessions, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducation groups for parents. She combines a direct, honest, and goal-oriented style with a willingness to challenge clients when growth calls for it.

Brittany prioritizes trust as a foundation for effective therapy and cultivates an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment that aligns with each person’s needs. She encourages clients to see themselves as more than the problems they bring and works to help them adopt that same perspective. By blending elements from multiple psychotherapy approaches, she aims to address the whole person - mind, body, and soul - and provides resources when appropriate to support that broader care. Brittany is enthusiastic about clients’ potential and is prepared to accompany them through life’s ups and downs.
