When to ask for help: Are you feeling overwhelmed? ​ Are you experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, and trouble sleeping at nights? ​ Are you anxious, irritable, and withdrawn from others and activities you once enjoyed? ​ Are you having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else? ​ Have you recently experienced grief or loss? ​ Are you having feelings of hopelessness, diminished self-worth and sadness most days? ​ Are you finding it difficult to focus, trouble concentrating, and plagued with negative thoughts on a daily basis? ​ Do you feel like your relationship is in trouble and you don't know how to save it?
John Swails provides individual, couples, and group therapies to help persons develop self-validation, self-resiliency, and self-esteem skills, Improve communication in relationships and families, and remove obstacles to success and goal realization. This is accomplished through a process of retraining focus towards goal-oriented thinking.
Everyone at one time or another encounters obstacles that can appear overwhelming. You may feel alone, and isolated. Often what is needed is a fresh set of ears from someone genuinely concerned, who has the training and experience to help you find a resolution.

The initial session is an in-take recording information about the client(s) and an introduction of your therapist. Continuing, I will help individuals develop the tools you need to reach your social, vocational, and educational functioning goals and I will help couples improve communication, conflict resolution, and mutual validation skills which are at the core of all relationship issues.

I use an integrated combination of Solution Focused (SFT), MRI Strategic, amd Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). SFT helps clients change problem focused thinking into more productive solution oriented thinking. MRI helps break maladaptive cycles, and DBT helps with emotion regulation and staying present in the moment.
