Michelle Schwartz

Michelle Schwartz, LCSW, provides specialized therapeutic support for individuals navigating neurodevelopmental and complex emotional challenges. Her practice is uniquely equipped to support children, teens, and adults dealing with Autism, ADHD, developmental disorders, and intellectual disabilities. As a queer and racial justice allied provider, she offers a culturally responsive environment for those processing racial identity, trauma, and life transitions.

Recognizing that traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel restrictive, Michelle incorporates movement-based tools to assist with emotional regulation and sensory needs. With 10 years of yoga teaching experience, she integrates mindfulness and yoga techniques into her sessions. For clients who struggle to sit still or find traditional sedentary therapy ineffective, she offers innovative "on the run" sessions in NYC, as well as virtual telehealth options to ensure accessible, flexible care.

Michelle serves a wide range of age groups, from toddlers to elders, and specializes in addressing issues such as anxiety, grief, burnout, and PTSD. She is currently accepting new clients for individual sessions at a rate of $250 per session. Her practice is dedicated to helping clients move past feeling "stuck" and toward a more regulated, flowing way of living.
