Her award-winning dissertation from CU Boulder was on Moral Development in Women. Jackie specialized in children and adolescents during her training, which included working in North Wales in a Treatment Center modeled on Winnicott, and being a Fellow of Harvard Medical School at Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital. She now works with all ages, using a psychodynamic and neuro-developmental perspective on relationships and individual growth. She understands trauma and its intergenerational transmission, as well as the secondary-trauma that can emerge in help-providers. She supports resilience with art, Sand-tray and inter-personal tools. Dr. Schwarz has consulted with the local Public Schools, University departments, substance-abuse prevention, youth-intervention and mediations programs, and currently supervises doctoral students through CU Boulder.
