Are you struggling with feeling motivated and engaged? Or getting lost or overwhelmed with racing thoughts and feelings of anxiety or panic? You have come to the right place for help. My practice centers around helping clients overcome trauma and find safety and stability in their lives. My work with patients usually starts with figuring out the vision they have for themselves. Patients leave sessions with a goal to help along the road to this vision- this may be a plan made together during therapy, a new way of thinking to practice, or a coping tool to help get through difficult moments.

I provide support and education for individuals during moments of challenge or need. I believe we all benefit from having a neutral person to assist us with working towards our goals.

My therapeutic style often focuses on time specific goals with treatment options which support success as defined by the client.

Hi there! I'm Colleen Sweeney, MA and I understand how difficult it can be to speak up when life feels overwhelming. As a teen or preteen, asking for help can feel almost impossible. Sometimes it feels like you are totally alone in what you are feeling and going through. It takes incredible bravery to reach out, and I acknowledge that courage. Maybe you don’t even want to talk about it, whatever "it" is—and that’s okay. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and concerns. Growing up, you might hear that others have it worse, but your feelings and experiences

Bottom line, I believe we are all here to learn all we can during our time here in the Earth school. I seek to serve couples, families and individuals addressing life adjustment issues including relationship conflict, developmental concerns, functional issues related to head or brain injury and efforts to increase self-actualization. I have been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than thirty-five years; I have provided care and supervised services in mental health and psychiatric hospitals as well as correctional settings and hold specializations in forensic psychology and neuropsychology.

I specialize in working with clients on stress related to managing depression, anxiety, chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, caregiver burnout, smoking cessation, obesity, and other health-related concerns. I know that making the decision to begin therapy may feel daunting, but it is a step worth celebrating. It would be my privilege to accompany you along this journey. I believe in the importance of holistic care and take a collaborative and integrative approach to therapy, tailoring my interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each client.
