When I first sought out counseling, I hoped therapy would help me fix what was wrong with me. Through my healing journey and professional training I found a more effective starting place. No one needs fixing; we need healing and the tools it takes to begin.

Living authentically and creatively sounds good, right? Nurturing quality relationships is important and also difficult. Managing stress in difficult times is confusing and overwhelming. Showing up in your life *how* you want is why we are here. Helping you identify ways the past has shaped your life, the patterns that have emerged and how to implement the change you want is our priority at HTC.

I have a special interest in working with clients who are struggling with traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss. My approach centers on the influence of sociocultural factors in people’s presenting concerns. I find that this approach helps clients better understand the nature of their symptoms. I've also helped clients explore their authentic selves in a deeper way whether it's around gender identity, sexual orientation, racial, and/or ethnic identities. You can expect that space will be made for us to uncover parts of you that need room to exist and want to be tended to.

As an internationally recognized expert in trauma and author of four books on trauma and neuroscience, I know that treatment can help clients regain a sense of control. So many people yearn for the ability to enjoy their lives and relationships but feel stuck in a never-ending cycle of stress and crisis. However, the effects of toxic stress and trauma are not something you just have to endure. To learn more about Dr. Sweeton, visit www.jennifersweeton.com.

Sometimes we have experiences that make us feel different, out of place, foreign and even unwelcome. Life can bring challenges, pain, and experiences that do not always make sense to us. It's easy to become trapped in those moments, in need of help. I believe in being someone who will listen with unconditional positive regard, without judgement, to you and your story. I seek to help you see your situation from a different vantage point in order to discover something new about yourself and your world.

In my practice, I work with adults and children ages 4-18 who are experiencing or have experienced trauma (PTSD) or unresolved grief in their lives. Trauma can affect relationships, friendships, marriages and parenting. It can significantly impact how we cope from day to day. Unfortunately, such issues that have been ignored may keep coming up and can haunt us at the most inopportune times. I am continually amazed at how resilient the human mind and spirit can be with just some intentional focus on those areas of life.

Sometimes we experience life changing events that cause us lose sight of our hopes and dreams. Our fears can deceive us into believing that we will never be okay again. We do not have to be defined by what has happened to us. I believe that no matter what we have been through we have the potential to create for ourselves, a happy, rich and full life worth living. It is not easy to overcome the bad experiences but it is possible. Therapy can increase psychological flexibility and allow us to not be open again. If you are tired of being limited and ready to make real changes therapy can help you create the life you wish to have.
