Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I’m Dr. Ilyssa Swartout, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping adults and couples heal from past wounds and create meaningful change. My approach blends warmth, presence, and evidence-based therapy to help you move beyond old patterns and reconnect with your sense of worth and wholeness.
My background includes over 20 years of mentorship with James Bugental, Ph.D., founder of Humanistic Psychotherapy, and advanced training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Gestalt Therapy, and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS). These approaches support healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties by addressing both emotional and body-based experiences.
As an EMDR Consultant and Certified In-Depth Therapist, I guide clients and other professionals toward lasting transformation and self-understanding.
Therapy is a courageous step toward healing and growth. Together, we’ll create a safe and supportive space for you to explore, recover, and thrive.

Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Being a therapist is a great privilege. I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to understand what is happening in their life and why they are struggling. Together, we'll try to understand what is creating the trouble - including perhaps some unconscious patterns that are at work - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and work through what can be done. I create a safe, empathic, and comfortable environment for counseling where we can talk about anything at all without judgment, and in total privacy.
