About me

Hi there, I am a licensed independent social worker with over 15 years of experience in the medical field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, and chronic health issues. Prior to working in the medical field, I worked in mental health clinics and helped patients manage and overcome life crises. I also specialize in helping people get connected with community resources for basic needs such as affordable housing, food, and health insurance.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and solution-focused. I believe that listening well and meeting people where they are at emotionally, mentally, and in all aspects is key. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your own specific needs and what you would like to achieve.

It definitely takes courage and motivation to seek help and positive change in your life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

My practice hours are 7:45am - 4pm Monday - Friday. I usually check my messages 2-3 times each week unless it is the weekend. I would then respond to you that following Monday.

Jodi is a great, attentive listener, but more than that she contributes to the conversation and gives inspired advice. She’s changed my perspective on a number of behaviors and has given me tools to work things out. She makes me feel secure in showing who I am. And she has her own personality. Highly recommended.

Jodi is a great therapist and is always there when I have an issue. BetterHelp is a great way to go to therapy if you are on the fence about it. I am glad that I took the plunge and did it. I know she will always be there when I need to talk things out. I am very happy with the whole experience.

Jodi is a wonderful listener and I feel comfortable to chat with her about a variety of concerns.

Ms. Schwartz is an amazing therapist. I suffer from an acute and active eating disorder. While this is not her area of expertise, her training has given her the skills required for this kind of treatment. I like that she doesn't pretend to know it all. If she needs to get a better grasp on a specific ED symptom, etc, she asks questions, listens closely to my responses and incorporates the information provided into my treatment plan.
I hope Jodi, will pursue additional training regarding Eating Disorders, because of her natural ability to treat this devastating mental illness.

Jodi is empathetic, caring, and compassionate. She has walked me through some difficult life hurdles: moving across the country, an unexpected breakup, and challenging family dynamics. Jodi supports and encourages me to do the heavy lifting of healing while giving myself grace. She is a phenomenal therapist whom I would absolutely recommend!
