Katherine Schwab LMHC

Counseling for Children and Their Familes

Welcome

My name is Katherine Schwab, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Foxboro, MA. I specialize in working with young children (ages 2-10) and their families. My clients are kids with BIG feelings and behaviors. Some have preexisting diagnoses such as ADHD, autism (including Asperger's, PDD-NOS, etc.), or anxiety, while others have challenges with sensory integration or learning. Some have no preexisting diagnosis, but still struggle to manage their feelings and behaviors.

I offer services including individual counseling with just the child, sibling groups, or parents and children. Additionally, I run a variety of groups during the school year as well as offer consultation services to area child care centers and preschools.

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.

Current and Upcoming Availability

By

I currently have a few sporadic openings for new clients in the remainder of August.  Please note that once September starts, the only availability I will have is for appointments at 9:30 am or lunchtime between 11:30 am – 1:30 pm.  My 8 am, 8:45 am, and all afterschool individual counseling time slots are booked beginning in September.

If you are interested and available to come during the school day for appointments, I provide a tardy or excusal note for school. I have found that most schools are very understanding about children coming to outside counseling appointments during school hours, especially if their mental health needs are impacting their learning or behavior in school

Prospective new clients who are unable to come during school hours may ask to be waitlisted for a before or afterschool appointment, but please note that I offer these spots to current clients coming during school hours before offering them to waitlisted clients.  If you choose to be waitlisted, please note that I am unable to provide any sort of time frame to let you know when an opening might occur.

As an alternative, I do have openings in my afterschool Activity Groups beginning in mid September. Some families choose to sign up for this rather than individual sessions, based on the needs of their child.  Please note that this is a great option for families whose insurance is not one that I take.
