About Us

Kevin Schwarz, LCSW-C

Thanks for stopping by! Here at Potomac Mental Health Therapy, it is our goal to provide therapy that is engaging, practical & convenient. We want you to leave every session feeling this time was beneficial and useful to you.

I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Tulane University in New Orleans in 2017 and then began focusing on developing a toolbox of therapeutic approaches in treating and supporting the unique challenges and goals of my clients.

I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (C-DBT), a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and have training in ACT, Mindfulness & Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy.

For Marriage/Couples Therapy I am trained in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I find it important not to rely on any one approach and to focus on what is the best way to support YOU!
