Hello! We are a behavioral health agency physically located in Canon City, CO, though we serve the entire states of Colorado, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. We offer in person and telehealth sessions.

When we can live as our true, unapologetic selves we can experience fulfillment in our lives and connections with others. I believe every individual holds the power to change and evolve in all the ways they desire to discover and express their authentic self, and my role is to assist you in your discovery process and coming to understand all that this entails.

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.

I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.

Broken Arrow is Tulsa's largest suburb, a family-centered Oklahoma city with strong church networks, good schools, and a growing manufacturing base. Mental health needs are family-oriented — parenting and marriage stress, adolescent well-being, and the faith-framed help-seeking common in the Bible Belt, where pastoral counseling is often the first door. Tulsa's provider market and faith-integrated practitioners serve the community.
