Pasted_Image_10_21_15__2_51_PMWelcome!  Therapy is one of the best ways people can take control of their life and become more of the person they want to be. Simply put, therapy can help you create a happier and more fulfilling life.

I don’t focus on an “illness” or a “diagnosis” or “the situation.” I don’t focus on a technique.  I focus on you; who you are and what we need to know and understand to make the changes you want.

With over 30 years experience as a psychologist, I know that every life has problems. But problems have solutions.  The problem pushing you into therapy doesn’t define you. Unhappy marriages, stressful lifestyles, parenting issues, anxiety and depression are problems. Working together we can solve the them.

I invite you to come in.  To fix the problems so you can return to your life transformed or transform your life. Either way, you’ll be happier.


My office
 in Westport, Connecticut is comfortable and private.  I’m easy to talk with and we’ll get to the hard-to-get-to  tuff that you may not have put into words even for yourself.  We can go as quickly or as slowly as your comfort level allows.  I have trained in many different therapeutic methods and use them as they fit the need.  The core of good therapy, however, is the interpersonal relationship between you and me.

Highly Reccomended

Dr. Swenson is an extremely knowledgable and caring therapist. She is able to work equally well with adults and children and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist.

Always professional; Always engaged during therapy sessions

When I relocated to Connecticut in 2002 I was referred to Dr. Swenson by a therapist I was seeing while living in Western New York. At the time I was dealing with childhood family issues and a recent divorce. I found Dr. Swenson to be very professional, empathetic, and focused. My sessions became a "safe haven" allowing me to explore and resolve issues and feeling that had been with me many, many years. I would highly recommend her services.
