Scott J Swagger | Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner
Because every kind of emotional suffering deserves relief... I treat trauma survivors with PTSD and depression;
I help couples or individuals who are struggling in partner relationships; and I advise adults who are frustrated in their parenting adventures. Also, if you are surviving dissociative symptoms, are recovering from secret habits, are suffering with anxiety or bipolar disorder, hear voices, have a history of several psychiatric diagnoses, or haven't responded well to psychotropic medications, come talk to me. (**If you prefer a female clinician, I can connect you with a trusted, experienced female therapist.**)
​
Because lasting change in relationships is within reach...I use a special blend of couple systems therapies to help partners and parents adjust patterns, see one another in the best light, and use team support to restore the best communication, harmony, trust, and forgiveness.
​
My therapy is informed by a growing body of research that brings us encouraging news: therapeutic exercises produce changes in the mind, which lead to long-term positive changes in the physiology of the brain. Come see me, and we can heal your mind.
