Brittany Schwarten , LCSW

Brittany Schwarten is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her therapeutic work. She approaches therapy with the belief that while she provides tools and guidance, the individual remains the primary source of transformative change. Brittany values presence and active listening and aims to make a meaningful impact simply by attending to each person’s needs.

Brittany’s background includes experience in private practice, school-based therapy services, and higher-level-of-care settings. She has facilitated a variety of groups, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) groups, social skills groups for children, and psychoeducation groups for parents. Her clinical style is direct, honest, and goal-oriented, and she is willing to challenge clients when that supports growth.

Trust is central to her work, and Brittany cultivates an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment that aligns with each person’s goals. She emphasizes that people are more than the problems they bring and encourages clients to adopt the same compassionate perspective toward themselves. Brittany blends techniques from different therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs and offers resources when appropriate to support whole-person care - mind, body, and spirit.

Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, parenting, ADHD, self-esteem, and career challenges. She also works with matters such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, OCD-related obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and support for women and young adults. Brittany is invested in helping people discover and build on their strengths as they navigate life’s ups and downs.
