I believe compassion and empathy create the foundation for clients to develop greater insight and self-awareness. My approach to therapy is collaborative working to resolve mental and emotion stressors that impede one's ability to achieve their goals. I work with clients to identify maladaptive communication patterns, resolve conflict, transition to a new stage in life or career, and foster each individual’s innate skills, knowledge, and growth.

Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

As an internationally-recognized expert in trauma, I know that treatment can help clients regain a sense of control in their lives and improve their relationships. 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. It is possible to feel better, because you are already wired for health! Dr. Sweeton works with survivors of trauma and anxiety who are committed to reclaiming their lives. To learn more about Dr. Sweeton visit www.jennifersweeton.com.

I am a Licensed School Psychologist and a Licensed Master’s Level Psychologist. Prior to joining the clinical setting, I served as a school psychologist where I supported students’ social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. Now in the clinical setting, I use this experience to continue supporting students and their families. I specialize in the assessment and diagnosis of learning disorders (including dyslexia, dysgraphia, & dyscalculia), giftedness, ADHD, and other concerns related to learning. I have extensive experience in the assessment of dyslexia and have presented at the International Dyslexia Association Conference.

I am currently only accepting new clients for Assessments (ADHD, learning disabilities, mood disorders, etc). Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps the use of a substance or a behavior has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted it to. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. Perhaps your child/teen is having difficulty at home or in school. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and tailor my approach to each individual.
