The reality is—sh!t happens. We all face difficult experiences throughout our lives. For those whose difficulties begin in childhood, it can carry into adulthood, impacting our relationships with ourselves and with our loved ones. Yet, I believe we are all people in progress, and when sh!t happens, shift can too. Because of this, I have intentionally built my practice around the treatment of anxiety, depression, and relationship distress derived from familial trauma and relational wounds.

Do you wish there was someone out there that understood you? Do you feel separate from others, different somehow and struggle to find someone to relate to? Possibly you feel inauthentic in your relationships with others or in the roles that you find yourself in. Human connection is something that we all need and strive for and yet is difficult to obtain at times especially with our fast-paced, individual-centric lives. The therapeutic relationship can provide a safe space to explore identities, challenge obstacles to connection and learn to overcome our difficulties in new and exciting ways.

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.

Being a parent is a joy like none other. This may however become challenging if your child (especially a teenager) battles emotional, behavioral, eating disorders, lack of confidence or addiction problems. Teenagers with these issues often argue, have hard time expressing emotions, have disruptive behavior, sudden change in eating habits and conscious of their body image. They might resort to use of alcohol or other drugs to escape struggles. This does not mean you are a bad parent; it is just a difficult time for your family. You just need someone to walk you through during this difficult time.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel like life has gotten stale. I love working with people to help them regain a sense of vibrancy in life. I want to help you move from that state of staleness into a position of thriving. Sometimes that movement requires working through experiences that bind us, and sometimes it requires reigniting the things that used to give us life. Regardless of where you find yourself in that movement, I would be honored to get to walk alongside you in it.

I provide a specialty therapy for people with a high degree of self-control (perfectionists, introverts, and worriers). Have you ever thought that you might have too much of a good thing? It turns out possessing too much self-control can impair our ability to relax, adapt to life's transitions, and genuinely connect with others.

I work with individuals and couples who have experienced a loss in their life and are needing guidance and support as they navigate their journey of grief. In a society that tells us how we are "supposed" to grieve or what actually counts as a loss, it can be challenging to know how to take your first steps forward. My clients are individuals or couples who are trying to make sense of their loss, working towards acceptance of their loss, preparing for a significant loss, and anywhere in between that someone finds themselves in their journey through grief. I also treat other issues such as anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
