Do you need the pain of yesterday to stop interfering with your aliveness and pleasure today? Is there a part of you that's says, "it's too much to look at all the crap I've been though. Just make it go away"? It's so disheartening to try and find a therapist that you actually feel connected to. Feel safe with. Feel seen by. When all the hurts and broken relationships of the past crash against the hopes of your future a therapist that's confronted their own privileged place in this world and healed through their own traumas, addiction, and battles with mental illness can be a saving grace.

You may be looking for a therapist for a variety of reasons and finding one that is a good fit is very important part of that process. Being comfortable in therapy and finding someone who can provide support, while directly addressing concerns and promoting growth is essential. I provide my clients with a supportive and enriching environment to address concerns, gain insights, and achieve real change in their life and the lives of those around them.

Life's barriers sometimes get in the way of living life as abundantly as we would like. I know that it can be hard to seek help. I would be honored to come alongside you and see if we can find a way to overcome the barriers in life. Using a holistic approach, I will listen with empathy and together identify changes to be made and how to make those changes. Moreover, we will identify other important people in your life, including other health professionals with whom coordinating care will enrich your experience.

NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS If your life is less satisfying than you had hoped, it's time to take action. I will help you figure out what's not working and implement a plan for a more fulfilling and joyful life. My environment will give you a place to focus your energy toward positive change. Together, we will make it happen!

Each person has a unique ability to heal themselves or grow in the area of their choice. In my work with individuals, couples, and families, I strive to personalize services based on the needs and input of my clients so they obtain the quality of support they are looking for. A passion of mine is to empower individuals and families to strengthen their personal relationships so each person may reach their true potential. I strive to create a supportive environment for individuals to grow and learn regardless of age, gender, culture, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.

Thank you for considering me to help guide you and your family in your healing journey. Do you or your child experience chronic anxiety, or depression? Are you having difficulty recognizing your own value and getting to the next stage in your life? My name is Kimberly Sworn, and I have been a practicing mental health clinician for over 10 years.

I work with young children and their families to resolve the issues that kids struggle with both at home and at school. Because children can make sustainable change through play, play therapy has proven to be an effective intervention and also more inviting to kids than squirming around in a chair answering an adult's questions. With over 30 years of experience and training in childhood trauma, school problems, social skills, anxiety and depression, I have developed a variety of play-based interventions informed by neurobiology and attachment research.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and based in a genuine and caring relationship with my clients. During our meetings, we will work together to better understand who you are -- your desires and aspirations, your beliefs and feelings, and the patterns that occur in your relationships. My goal is to help you uncover your true self and live a satisfying and successful life in harmony with who you are. Opening up to a therapist can be an intimidating prospect. As such, I strive to create an atmosphere of safety and connectedness where creativity and humor have a place.

Are you eating when you aren't hungry, spending more time on social media or the internet than you'd like, or drinking more than you would like? Feeling depressed, anxious, checked out, irritated, or "blah"? These are all signals that something is off. I can help you recognize the patterns that are keeping you stuck in your life. Once you are aware of these patterns of behavior, you have more power to consciously make changes and create a more fulfilling life.

I believe we are the authors of our stories but sometimes need a little guidance along the way. There is a non-judgmental atmosphere in my counseling practice that is filled with compassion and understanding. You will be provided a collaborative safe environment while exploring techniques and strategies to obtain your counseling goals. I utilizes and blend Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), client-centered approach and attachment theory. I work with individuals ages 18 years old and up.

I specialize in Couples Counseling as well as 20 years working with Individual Adults. I help people develop healthy relationships with themselves and others because I believe that this provides the foundation for a meaningful life. When we interact with compassion and respect for others, including ourselves, we tend to be happy and successful. During difficult times when depression or anxiety arise, the support of a trained professional can help you learn how to become your own best resource.

I view therapy as a place to safely tell your story. Each story is unique and is comprised of its own set of characters and settings. It is my privilege to explore your narrative and to bare witness to the obstacles of the past, the trials of today, and the triumphs of tomorrow. I also hope to join you in your attempt to write each new exciting chapter of your life. Together we can work to create a story that you are proud to call your own!

I am not taking new clients at this time. The following is a description of my approach for future consideration. There are so many reasons we find ourselves feeling alone in the world. Whether you're estranged from family, socially marginalized, or just going through something unique, you are like that seed- naturally equipped with what you need for healing and growth. My job, as your therapist, is to provide a strong, healthy, professional relationship rooted in nurturing love and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma, lifelong patterns of painful crisis, and pervasive hopelessness.

I believe therapy is a transformational experience that is collaborative. Whether you are struggling with loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, or substance use, I am here to provide a safe and sacred space for clients to process difficult situations and emotions. Therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship in providing an opportunity for a new experience and place to sit with difficult emotions. I offer a nonjudgmental space for clients to express themselves and practice vulnerability. I encourage clients to be authentically themselves.

Neuroscience offers promising directions to empower behavioral change. I employ emerging knowledge and strategies to help you change your brain.

Stress, anxiety and depression are at epidemic proportions for Americans. As a skillful, experienced therapist, I will build a partnership with you to address problems, build your personal resources and discover your path to a more rewarding, enriched life.

I approach each person with kindness, humor and curiosity. Individuals and families, from all walks of life, will find a nonjudgmental space to build relationship and explore healing, personal growth and reflection. I celebrate diversity in all its forms and welcome clients regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expansiveness, age, martial status, political belief, religion, mental or physical ability. I believe in treating everyone with compassion, respect and sensitivity.
