Hi. I am Jacquelyn Schwartz, MA, LMFT. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in San Diego. I specialize in helping individuals and couples find real solutions to their relationship problems. My goal is to to help you develop a deeper, more satisfying connection with yourself and the people in your life that matter most. I have worked as a psychotherapist in a variety of settings including the Center for Grief Care and Education/ San Diego Hospice Institute for Palliative Medicine, Douglas Young Bio-Psycho Social Rehabilitation Center, Rady Children's Hospital Outpatient Psychiatry, and Palomar Family Counseling Services. In each of these settings I developed a greater understanding about what truly helps people feel and function better in their lives. In my years of experience, I have discovered that Bowen Family Systems and Mindfulness-based approaches to healing have proven to be the most useful and effective over the long term. Bowen theory provides a framework for developing greater intimacy in relationships. While having a strong mindfulness practice helps people to be calm, caring, and compassionate with self and others. To speak with me directly, please call (858) 356-5839. I look forward to hearing from you.
