About me
Hello! My name is Mary Swims, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 plus years of experience in psychotherapy practice. Following my graduation from Columbia University, I have dedicated my career to working with people (14 and above), addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, life transitions, relationships, stress, identity, decision-making, etc.
I am licensed and offer virtual therapy in New York, New Jersey, and Georgia. I recently moved to DC and currently working towards licensure in my new home. In session, I am committed to providing highly individualized support through a variety of therapeutic interventions; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, as well as other evidence-based practices. I offer an extensive number of resources upon request and am always willing to try new methods to meet a certain need or an individual. My passion lies in assisting those I work with to discover lasting work/life balance and foster improved relationships with themselves and others. Side note: I am a HUGE animal lover and currently have a Shiba Inu, Siamese, and Nebulon! Hope we can meet soon!
