About me

I have worked in the mental health field for 20 years and 10 years as a therapist. During the past 20 years, I have experience in different settings and populations. I have training to utilize EMDR therapy, but I also use other treatment methods. I believe in a client centered approach to help you meet your goals. I typically work with ages 13 through adulthood on an individual basis.

Bridget is the 4th provider I tried for talk therapy, and I have also been wanting to explore EMDR I love Bridget; she is very easy to talk to, and she specializes in EMDR, so she was happy to discuss it with me and we have decided it would be a great fit for me. We are working with the tools needed to deal with the negative responses that will surface, but I feel like I am in great hands with her and trust her wholeheartedly. I will post a follow-up once my EMDR therapy is complete.

She was very warm and caring. But I do not feel her personality is as assertive as mine. And we just wouldn't be a beneficial fit for each other.

While I’m only just starting therapy Dr. Schwirzinski has made opening up more comfortable than expected.
