One of my joys in life is witnessing growth and change. And being part of another's journey is an honor and privilege. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, grief, depression, and difficulty managing emotions. In addition, I enjoy helping clients with career and phase of life issues.

I truly believe we are all capable of emotional well-being, and inherently possess the skills and tools needed to thrive. However, sometimes trauma, life stressors or transitions, or the weight of emotional challenges can make it difficult to find or recall those tools and skills. I practice therapy from a person-centered approach, which means that I believe you are the expert on yourself, and my role is to partner with you as we work to rediscover those skills and strengths that may feel as though they have been lost. We are not meant to be "fixed", we simply sometimes need support in finding our way back to ourselves.

Being a parent while trying to be yourself at the same time is HARD! I help parents that are finding it hard to connect with their baby, themselves, or their loved ones by creating a plan for connection while still honoring each piece of you.

I work with individuals and couples/relationships. My clients seek support in regulating difficult emotions, communicating with others, managing stress and anxiety, navigating identities, and boosting confidence. I enjoy working with clients who want to develop a more intentional connection to their bodies, sexualities, and the people they love. My clients are open to gaining new skills and insights to deal with stress. I provide a space full of warmth and affirmation for clients to feel fully seen, valued, safe to process past events, and think about future possibilities.

Here we are. On this planet. Trying the best we can to figure things out. But it can be hard when you feel isolated and lost. Or maybe you've attempted to find a solution with your partner and/or family, but it's not getting you very far. You're stuck, and the pattern needs to change. This is where a therapist can offer some help. My job is to provide a neutral, third-party perspective on your mental health and relationships. We analyze what works, what doesn’t, and consider some new tools when appropriate. We'll also study the intricate social web that influences your functioning. It'd be an honor to be a part of the team.

You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or carrying the weight of abuse and trama through life. Issues like these weigh you down as you continue to fulfill your roles at work, at home, and in your relationships. These struggles may be new to you, or you may have carried them alone for years. Perhaps you've even reached out for help but not yet found the right fit, yet you long to break through these challenges and feel like yourself again.

People often feel stuck, unhappy, and dissatisfied with the direction of life, career path, or relationships. Would you like to see changes in your life, but don't know where to start? I want to help you and may have shared some of the same feelings myself. I have experienced the challenges of being a non-traditional student and have started a new career later in life - increasing my understanding of ways to approach life transitions. Whether your challenges are related to career, relationships, or to your general well-being, we can work together to create the changes you want.

Family dynamics are often complicated and difficult. While we often find comfort and stability within our family, it is all too common to experience problems that we’re just not quite prepared to address. Parents may feel unsure of themselves or overwhelmed by increasing demands on their time and attention. Children and teens may struggle to feel they can open up with their parents for several reasons. Communication breaks down and the family that once felt so close knit is starting to drift apart. While we know we need help, it can be difficult to take that first step and reach out.

Sometimes life feels heavy. Trouble at work, problems in your relationships, the isolation of this day and age. Maybe you had a difficult childhood that you can't seem to break away from. It can all feel like too much sometimes, bringing up intense feelings of anxiety, anger, depression, loneliness, and grief. If any of this sounds familiar, I can definitely help. I work with adults and couples struggling with intense emotions. My clients often want to understand how their past experiences and traumas have impacted their current difficulties. They also want to learn how to create a more peaceful and enthusiastic life for themselves.

Every person has their own history and their own struggles. They have their own ways of dealing with these struggles and sometimes they simply need help. I find great joy in helping people through difficult times. I specialize in trauma related issues such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I like to work with clients at their own pace, gently and compassionately. I offer both in person and online appointments. I like to think of the first appointment as a time for you to decide if you think that we might be a good match.

As an internationally recognized expert in trauma and author of four books on trauma and neuroscience, I know that treatment can help clients regain a sense of control. 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. To learn more about Dr. Sweeton, visit www.jennifersweeton.com. Please note that Dr. Sweeton offers trauma processing intensives, in addition to reserving a limited number of slots for clients seeking traditional psychotherapy.

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.

On the road to your best self, I hope to be a helpful guide to walk with you through the pain you are experiencing.
