Alli Schwartz

​

Mental Health Counselor Student Intern

As a mental health counseling student intern, I bring compassion and

collaboration to therapy, with the knowledge that each person is the expert in their

own world. I believe that healing happens within a safe, supportive, and comforting

environment, and my goal is to create that space for you to explore, grow, and heal at

your own pace. My approach is holistic, addressing all aspects of well-being,

including mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and energetic components. I believe in

working from a strengths-based perspective, seeing each person as resilient,

capable, and whole. Working through individuals’ stories and goals, we’ll explore the challenges and successes that arise on your path, with curiosity, empathy, and deep

respect for the journey that is uniquely yours.
 

As a student therapist, Alli works under the supervision of a licensed professional to ensure the highest quality of care for her clients.

Alli works with clients of all ages

Specializations:

  • Depression & Anxiety

    I work with clients to understand the roots of their emotional distress and develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Together, we explore patterns and build coping strategies that support long-term emotional resilience.

  • Life Transitions

    Change—whether expected or not—can bring both opportunity and difficulty. I help clients process transitions such as starting a new job or school, moving, entering adulthood, or navigating relationship shifts, so they can move forward with confidence and clarity.

  • Self-Esteem

    Low self-worth can affect every area of life. My approach fosters self-acceptance and a stronger sense of identity, helping clients rewrite critical inner narratives and embrace their strengths.

  • Perfectionism

    For those caught in the cycle of “never good enough,” I offer support in breaking free from rigid standards, cultivating self-compassion, and finding value in progress—not just perfection.

Modalities:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns to improve emotional wellbeing and behaviors.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

    Explores how past experiences and unconscious processes influence current struggles, with the goal of deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

  • Gestalt Therapy

    Encourages awareness of present-moment experience, emphasizing how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect in the here and now.

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

    A collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change.

  • Person-Centered Therapy

    Based on unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity, this approach supports clients in finding their own answers and healing paths.

  • Mindfulness-Based Techniques

    Teaches clients to observe thoughts and feelings with curiosity and nonjudgment, promoting emotional regulation and stress reduction.

  • Integrative Approach

I tailor my work to the individual, drawing from a range of modalities to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences
