Sydney Swan
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist -
Are you feeling stuck in your life? Unsure of how to change things for the better? Are you struggling with perfectionism, self-esteem, anxiety, adjusting to new or difficult life experiences? It can be overwhelming and isolating when you’re struggling emotionally. If you or your adolescent can relate to these experiences, there is hope. As a therapist I have to come to understand my clients needs and believe in the following: you can increase Self-acceptance, create positive change through your own Wisdom and begin to heal with the support of an Authentic and Nurturing therapeutic relationship. S.W.A.N. is more than just a name.The therapeutic process is one of collaboration. Together; with your goals, values, and strengths in mind we can process experiences that have shaped your life and work to identify ways to cope that fit with who you are. Stress, anxiety, or adjusting to life after a difficult experience does not have to be handled alone.I strive to educate, support, and empower my clients to make the positive changes they want in their lives. With a supportive and non-judgmental space, the healing process can begin and you can change your life in a way you feel good about. Change and a brighter future is possible.
