About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in community mental healthcare. I have over 7 years of experience providing clinical services to children, youth, and adults with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related issues, as well as to individuals with chronic mental illnesses and substance use disorders.

My clinical approach is comprised primarily of CBT and TF-CBT, but I also incorporate various aspects of other clinical modalities into my therapy sessions and attempt to tailor one's treatment as specifically to their individual needs as possible. I enjoy working with individuals of diverse cultures and backgrounds. I strive to provide a relaxed and supportive environment where individuals feel safe to discuss their feelings and concerns without fear of judgement regardless of their race/ethnicity, cultural background, religious/spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Michael helped me through a very difficult time of my life as an anxiety filled graduate student. Having gotten through that time, I'm very grateful for the help and coping mechanisms we went through.

Excellent therapist! He was very receptive to what my needs and goals were in therapy. The coping skills and CBT practices he provided were also so helpful. I never imagined in just a few months working with him that my approach to life would improve tremendously. Michael Schwan not only helped me process my past experiences but helped me form the coping skills to handle any future issues.

My anxiety was on 1000 when I first started working with Michael and now I'm find myself laughing and joke. I'm not in my head as much.
