MEET DR. SCHWARZ

Dr. Erin Schwarz is a board-certified psychiatrist based in Maine. She is thoughtful, collaborative, and committed to providing care that is carefully tailored to each patient’s needs and personal goals.

​

A graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Schwarz completed her residency at Oregon Health & Science University, where she served as chief resident. Since then, she has practiced in a variety of settings, including academic medicine and community mental health.

Dr. Schwarz has a special interest in women's mental health and has completed additional training in psychiatric care for women across the lifespan, including pre-conception counseling and care during and after pregnancy. As a board member of the Maine chapter of Postpartum Support International, she works to promote understanding and support for perinatal mental health throughout the state.

​

For more than a decade, Dr. Schwarz has specialized in providing psychiatric care through telemedicine. With extensive experience conducting psychiatric evaluations and providing ongoing treatment remotely, she has developed a highly skilled and personal approach to telehealth. She believes that excellent psychiatric care can be delivered effectively through a virtual setting, allowing patients to build meaningful therapeutic connections from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. At the same time, Dr. Schwarz understands that in-person care is sometimes preferred or necessary. She also offers in-person appointments, allowing patients to choose the setting that best meets their individual needs and preferences.

Dr. Schwarz believes psychiatric care should be collaborative, approachable, and accessible. Her goal is to create a supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their treatment, while working together toward meaningful and lasting change.
