Dr. Mark Schwartz

"I have listened to numerous YouTube lectures by Dr. Schwartz. They are enlightening and speak of modalities and techniques that help go back to heal the inner child, which all too often goes untreated."

"Dr. Schwartz and the other therapists at HPM, Harmony Place Monterey, have helped me tremendously. I underwent 6 weeks of their PHP, Partial Hospitalization Program, 6.5 hours per day, 5 days a week, in September and October of 2021, followed by 4 weeks of IOP, Intensive Outpatient Therapy, 4 hours/5 days per week in November. I learned the core elements of CBT and DBT, also how to understand, process my childhood trauma and to manage my depression and anxiety. The Core Group Therapy sessions and Men's Group sessions gave me important development to recognize and cope with emotions. This development and semiweekly and weekly one on one therapy sessions with Dr. Lee Larimer truly achieved dramatic benefits. I continue to attend Dr. Schwartz's biweekly alumni sessions, as well as psychiatric appointments at CHOMP Behavioral Health as needed. Most recently, after 18 months on the waiting list, I have a personal therapist at CHOMP. All of the HPM staff made me feel welcome. They communicated their roles well and executed flawlessly. My professionals, therapists and their aides were excellent, deserving of recognition for excellance all, but particularly Mana Godbole, Lee Larimer, Megan Williams and Mark Schwartz. Harmony Place Monterey made me feel safe, a huge accomplishment. They gave me an excellent opportunity to learn, grow and heal. It's been 6 months since that 10 weeks of intensive therapy and I'm doing very well, incredibly well. I no longer take psychiatric medication and I am making constant strides to create healthy social relationships. My depression and anxiety are well under control and getting better and better. I can understand how my experience may sound magical, but that's how it feels. I've worked very hard for this for many decades. Thank you very much."

"Do yourself a favor and google mark Schwartz and castlewood treatment center. I would never recommend anyone to be treated by dr. Mark Schwartz . I had the unfortunate experience of being treated by him when I was in my early 20’s. He is not allowed to practice in Missouri. That fact speaks for itself. It is a testament to the large amount of damage his career has inflicted on vulnerable people seeking help."

"Dr. Schwartz helped to save my life from eating disorder. He is kind, patient, insightful, generous, and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone."

"Dr. Schwartz and Ms. Galperin are the real deal--trained with Masters and Johnson and it shows. The way they partner to support couples therapy was professional and effective."
