You're crushing it on the outside, but on the inside your brain is running laps you didn't sign up for. You've likely tried "just relaxing," "thinking positively," or being harder on yourself, yet challenges with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, food struggles, or relationship gridlock persist. You're not broken, you're human. And your nervous system is trying (a little too hard) to protect you. I've spent over 25 years helping people untangle the distress by using evidence-based approaches like ERP, CBT and ACT. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative and insight driven and while I don't promise quick fixes, I will give you honesty, skill and a steady presence while you do brave things. If you're ready to understand your patterns and shift them - reach out.

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.

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.

Oklahoma City's mental health landscape was profoundly shaped by the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building — one of the deadliest domestic terrorist attacks in American history — and collective trauma, resilience, and healing remain embedded in the city's identity and its therapy community. The city has a significant Native American population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for Indigenous clients — including work on historical and intergenerational trauma — are an important part of the local landscape. Oklahoma's opioid and substance use crisis places addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma among the most pressing concerns therapists address. OU Health and Mercy Oklahoma City serve as major institutional anchors alongside a growing network of private practitioners.
