Madison Schwartz - Therapist in NY
 

Madison Katz (Schwartz), LMSW

I am a trauma-informed therapist who specializes in eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches in my work with clients. I can help you develop coping skills to stop destructive habits and relieve pervasive thoughts of food and body image. As a Clinical
Assessor at The Renfrew Center using a Health at Every Size (HAES) lens, I provide clients the skills needed to find their own voice and quiet their eating disorder voice.

I am trained in Trauma Informed Care, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and Motivational Interviewing. I strive to create an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment so you can feel safe in our sessions. My approach is person-centered and strengths-based.
Together we will build your resilience to empower you in navigating life’s ups and downs. Please contact me if you would like to get started on your path to healing.

Get to know Madison…

  • I became a therapist because I had an eagerness to help others see their full potential, allowing themselves to become their best self. I have lived experiences that help me empathize with my clients and provide a space for people to understand and feel understood. I strongly believe everyone has the ability to heal from within, and it would be an honor to be a part of your healing journey

  • If I was not a therapist, I think I might have done something with cooking. As a child, I had a dream of going to culinary school and becoming a chef. I still continue to cook super fun and exotic dishes when I get the chance!

  • One of my favorite quotes comes from a favorite movie of mine, The Perks of Being a Wallflower: "In that moment I swear, we were infinite.”

  • One of my favorite books is one by Lori Gotliebs: I think you should talk to someone. I’m currently reading this one and would highly recommend it! Another book I find myself turning to often to guide me through sessions is Marsha Linehan’s memoir, Building a Life Worth Living. My last recommendation and a book I feel I try to live by as a therapist is Viktor Frankl’s: Man’s Search For Meaning.
