Carolyn Swearingen

I am a licensed psychologist and utilize the Flash technique to make traumatic memories more manageable for EMDR processing. Flash quickly decreases the disturbance associated with upsetting memories allowing for EMDR processing to occur with more ease and less intense feelings of upset. As a result, issues such as depression, anxiety, problematic relationship patterns, unresolved grief, and self-destructive behaviors are more quickly resolved. Helping clients improve their lives and restore their sense of well-being and fulfillment is my priority as a relationally-oriented practitioner.

I am passionate about and trained in transformative therapies that are relational and humanistic in their approach. In my utilization of Flash and EMDR I place great value on the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety and trust so that clients can feel comfortable sharing and processing difficult life experiences in an accepting environment emphasizing understanding and support. ​My therapeutic style offers warmth, care, and compassion, as well as feedback and ideas about how you may work to improve areas of your life you are seeking to change or manage more successfully.
