My Approach to Helping
My name is Courtney Farrell Swanson, and I am an LCSW. I provide strengths-based, client-centered therapy. I believe that connection is an important part of the therapeutic relationship, whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, a mood disorder, psychosis, PTSD or other traumas.
I have an eclectic approach, but I rely on evidence-based interventions to help restore positive self-esteem and confidence in one's ability to cope and thrive in the face of life's difficulties. Through talk, or psychodynamic therapy, we will explore areas where there may be distortions in thinking (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and we will work on correcting those distortions. We will utilize Mindfulness skills to reduce stress and anxiety and increase the peace and well-being we all desire.
