Anxiety Therapists in Claremont, CA

Hello! I am Marisa Swain, a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who has been working in the field since 2015. As someone who strongly feels that everyone deserves to be able to understand themselves, I would love to challenge you to build insight into what makes you who you are and to find the direction you may be looking for. My approach to therapy is derived from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral, internal family systems, and narrative therapies. I specialize in a variety of areas, including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, and more.

My office is located in the heart of Claremont. I am walking distance or a bike ride away from the (5C's). I also offer zoom virtual sessions to people living anywhere in California. I specialize in the treatment of adults who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, adjustment difficulties, chronic pain, sports related issues.

I enjoy working with folks addressing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, challenges associated with life transitions, and couples who are working on communication or recovering from infidelity and other relationship challenges. We'll work to find clarity, and to remove the obstacles standing between you and living the life that you want.

My belief is that we are happiest when we are mentally, spiritually, and physically balanced. Sometimes things happen that disrupt this balance, and impact our ability to lead a fulfilling life. My goal is to partner with people to discover balance, as well as provide hope and healing to those who are hurting. I know it can be uncomfortable thinking about going to counseling, and many wait until things seem hopeless. I believe that there is always hope, and with the right tools and support, you can move forward and begin enjoying life to the fullest.

Got Grief? Are you feeling stuck in a spiral of anxiety and overwhelm? Thank you for taking this step and especially when it feels like you can barely muster any strength to do so. You are worthy of the relief and healing you are searching for.

In the last psychotherapy session I had with a client who suffered from an eating disorder that I had worked with for three years I asked her why she chose me. She had interviewed seven other psychotherapists before making a decision. "It was George," she replied. George is my black lab mix with winsome eyes and a loving spirit. Her answer surprised me. But what it illustrates is the complexity of therapy and the mystery of what sustains the healing process. Digging inside through dreams as a way of connecting with the unconscious is another pathway to healing. B

We all deserve to feel better and I'm glad you are here. Are you feeling overwhelmed by panic and anxiety? Is the feeling of perfectionism putting you into overdrive or total avoidance? Does anxiety interfere with your work and relationships? Do you find yourself going down an anxiety rabbit hole finding it hard to find your way back? If this describes you- I GET you, I understand you, and I’m here to reassure you that it's possible to feel better. I'm here to provide support, tangible tools, and thought provoking questions to help you improve the quality of your life.

As a strengths-based therapist, I believe in working alongside my clients to help them feel empowered and to develop a more positive sense of self.

I am fundamentally a client-centered therapist, and my first priority is to cultivate a connection with my clients that is built upon trust.

˜Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen. ' - Brené Brown. Taking the step to either start or continue therapy takes courage and vulnerability. I recognize this and strive to meet the people I support with compassion and empathy. I work alongside you to help you explore your story, develop insight into the barriers that led to unhealthy coping/cycles with yourself and relationships with others. I do this through various therapeutic modalities (ACT, EFT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, psychodynamic) that will help you explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and connect to the choices impacting your behaviors.

Have you been feeling confused, alone, anxious, unable to concentrate? Life happens to all of us and it is important to allow yourself the opportunity to get help. My speciality is to help my clients find their true potential and overcome their struggles. So, whether your struggle is anxiety, depression, past trauma, interpersonal relationships, cultural issues, family conflict, or woman issues, from any background or affiliation, I am committed to actively listen and empathize with you to collaboratively articulate the best treatment plan that will best meet your needs and healing.

You're not happy.  You're not really sure when it all began, but slowly you find your life less fulfilling.  You can't find the motivation to get anything done, you're struggling to concentrate at work, and nothing interests you anymore.  It's like you're slipping into some black hole, and every day you sink just a little further. Sometimes, it's the anxiety that bothers you.  You're worried all the time, and it's making it hard just to function. You feel like you just can't take this insanity anymore. And then, this thought crosses your mind, "Maybe it would be better if I just didn't exist anymore." And this thought scares you...

Are you feeling sad, worried, stuck, or unlike yourself lately? Have you lost a loved one, are you grieving the end of a significant relationship, or feel your dreams are out of reach? If so, I want to praise you for taking this first step in seeking support. I know the healing process can be complex, but you do not have to do it alone. I would be honored to join you in your healing journey to help you gain insight and awareness into your current circumstances so that you can experience the reward of emotional wellness and positive growth. Healing can be challenging, but it is definitely worth the journey!

I struggled immensly with anxiety and depression for many years. In my teens and twenties I was in and out of emergency rooms because of panic attacks. In 1997 I started studying mindfulness meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn and everything changed from that point forward. Once I learned how to have better control over my thoughts and emotions, anxiety and depression became much easier to deal with. I became a therapist and mindfulness teacher to help others gain the same skills.
