Sven Schild

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, chronic stress, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person's unique story. I believe that lasting change occurs when we address not only thoughts and emotions, but also the body's innate capacity for healing. My work integrates Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience (DARe), attachment theory, and mindfulness to help clients regulate their nervous systems, heal developmental and attachment wounds, process traumatic experiences, and reconnect with their values and authentic selves. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative, affirming, and culturally responsive—a space where clients feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences while building greater resilience, self-compassion, emotional regulation, and psychological flexibility. I provide secure telehealth psychotherapy for adults located in California, Hawaii, Florida, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Whether you are seeking support for trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, attachment difficulties, or personal growth, my goal is to help you move beyond survival and toward a life of greater connection, meaning, and well-being.
