Beyond the therapy room, Joel provides consultation and education for families, practitioners, and organizations — on psychodynamic case conceptualization, neurodiversity, and psychosis. Dr. Schwartz is recognized nationally as a trainer in psychological assessment and in working with neurodivergent people.

We offer this in person and virtually, to any size crowd and in many contexts: case consultation with other therapists, continuing education courses, conferences, and programming for businesses and school districts.

If you've seen Joel speak and want to bring that conversation to your team, practice, or district — or you're a clinician looking for case consultation — we'd love to hear from you.
