Hi, I am Lacinda Swen.
I’m so glad you’re here. You may be curious about how therapy can benefit you or have had several therapy experiences. Wherever you are on your journey, I applaud your courage in seeking support.
I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who have experienced relationship and family trauma. My experience also includes helping individuals navigate life’s complexities, including love, relationships, major life transitions, faith, and loss. I am passionate about supporting individuals who are looking to build healthy, fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. Whether you are single, managing difficult family or friend dynamics, or moving through the stages of a romantic relationship, I offer a safe, nonjudgemental space where you can process your experiences, heal, and grow.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Marymount University and a master’s degree in social work from Columbia University. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, integrating trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based methodologies. I tailor our work to your unique needs and goals, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Solution-focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
I also offer creative interventions, including mindfulness techniques and faith-based practices, when requested. My priority is to ensure that therapeutic interventions align with your values and personal circumstances.
If you're seeking a supportive space to gain insight, develop self-awareness, heal cycles of dysfunction and trauma, and take action to create a healthy and whole life, I would be honored to work with you.
