Take back your power, passion, and zest for life by recognizing the unstoppable force you are & could become with the right guidance.

Hi there, my name is Savannah Swartout, and I am thrilled to begin this journey with you! I value a strengths-based approach to counseling as each person has ingrained power within themselves that they can harness to achieve personal goals. I utilize an all-encompassing approach to therapy by incorporating skills from feminist therapies, CBT, and person-centered approaches to help clients recognize their own strengths and empower them to lead the lives they most desire. By being culturally competent and LGBTQIA+ affirming I strive to make sure each client knows they are unique and deserve a specialized approach to therapy because this is not a “one size fits all” journey. I garner an intense passion to help women who have experienced trauma gain greater self-esteem, independence, and understanding of their inner power. Additionally, I have a desire to help individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community further explore themselves and how they can live an authentic life that is true to them. I have experience working with a plethora of individuals who experience anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, eating disorders, conduct disorders, trauma related disorders, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. When providing services I implement feminist therapy, ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and person-centered skills and modalities based upon each client’s unique needs.
