My name is Faith Schweiger, I've been in the Mental Health Field since 1987. I graduated with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling in 1993 and I've been licensed since 1996. I approach every individual and every individual's perspective as true for them, just as our's has been for us. " Our way may be the right way, But it's not the ONLY Way". We are all equal, neither better nor worse. I do not see things in terms of good or bad, right or wrong. Things just are. If we focus on the past, we feel depressed. If we focus too far in the future, we feel anxious.

I work with clients seeking better quality of life. Many of my clients have experienced significant hardship and pain from traumatic experiences. Others recognize that they are not experiencing the fullness of joy in their work, relationships or families. They all come to realize that while they might not have power to change everything in their world, they do have tools and power to change some things. My clients grow to develop and utilize skills and habits to bring about positive, healthy changes in their experiences.
