Carlynn Schwalm

I have been providing therapy to clients since 2020 and am licensed by the State of Montana as an LCSW. Prior to starting my private practice, I worked in a variety of settings, including a university counseling center, a community mental health agency and at a group practice, under the supervision of Julie Mennano, LMFT, author of Secure Love and creator of the popular instagram @thesecurerelationship. Since graduating from Walla Walla University with a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work, I have continued to grow and learn by completing training in EFT, ADHD, CPT, CBT, ACT, IFS, Multiculturalism, and MBSR, amongst others. I have experience working with adolescents (13+), adults, college students, and couples, as well as experience treating presenting concerns related to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, family of origin issues, addiction, and ADHD.

As a clinician, I am warm, empathetic, supportive, and dedicated to my client's well-being, while also being transparent and direct, as needed. My therapeutic approach utilizes the evidence based practices of CBT, MI, CPT, mindfulness, and EFT tailored to specific presenting concerns in order to empower my clients on the path to healing. At the outset of our work together, we will explore your experiences and self-knowledge as well as your concerns and desired change in collaboratively determining your individualized plan for therapy. We will continue to revisit your goals and our therapeutic relationship to make sure you find our time is being used meaningfully and effectively.

I am here to collaborate with you on your path to healing and growth, by addressing your needs while honoring your unique identity. I see clients in-person M-F 8-5, and offer flexible scheduling for those who are unable to attend sessions during the workday.
