Denise Schwartz, LCPC
About me
Hi, I’m a licensed therapist based in Nevada, and I help people navigate life’s messier moments with compassion and curiosity. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in relationship patterns, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you’re headed—I’m here to support you.
A big part of my work centers around helping folks with ADHD and ADD. I understand how these challenges can impact everything from focus and motivation to relationships and self-esteem. Together, we’ll explore tools and strategies that actually fit your life—not just textbook solutions.
I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and people exploring identity, purpose, and personal growth. My approach blends techniques from DBT, ACT, and psychodynamic therapy, but more importantly, it’s tailored to you. I offer a safe, affirming space to unpack anxiety, workplace stress, communication struggles, mood shifts, and more.
I’ve worked with military veterans, first responders, neurodivergent clients, and those navigating big transitions. My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen your connections, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and grounded.

She is great!
Written on Aug 05, 2025 after therapy with Denise for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with life changes
The fact that she doesn’t consider herself a professional and considers herself a human, is very reassuring that this is not just a job for Denise, she comes off as more a friend who cares than a therapist trying to give you just answers. First therapist I’ve ever had, glad it was this one.
