Welcome

My name is Katherine Schwab, and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist (ECMH-E®) based in Foxboro, MA.  I specialize in working with very young children and their families.

I have a passion for working with neurodivergent children, including those with suspected or confirmed Autism or ADHD as well as those experiencing challenges with social interactions or self-regulation who may not have any particular “diagnosis”. I also enjoy working with young children experiencing anxiety, in particular as manifested by selective mutism, separation anxiety, or anxiety related to medical procedures or medical complexity.

One of my main goals is to also support parents and caregivers as they learn more about the unique ways in which their child interprets and interacts with their world. I view my work as a collaborative process and strive to truly connect with each child and family, creating a safe space for reflection and growth.

I hope you find my website helpful as you consider counseling.  If you have questions, please contact me and I’ll do my best to help out.

  • Parent Groups!

    I generally offer 2 types of groups for parents:

    Circle of Security Parenting is designed to help parents and caregivers better understand how to understand and meet their children’s emotional and attachment needs. The course utilizes videos, visuals, and conversation to build parental reflection and support learning. The course consists of 8 x 90-minute sessions. Cost is $600. Dates will be posted as they are available. For more information:

    What is The Circle of Security

    Parent Support Group is designed as a peer support group for parents of neurodivergent adolescents. The group meets monthly for an hour (on Zoom), with different topics covered each month. This group is more designed as peer support, with counselor facilitation. The group generally runs during the school year. Cost will be determined based on start/end dates and total number of sessions. Information for fall 2026 will be posted in August.
