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.

Carrie Askin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and in order for therapy to help you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and more safety.
I'm easy to sit with. I like people and I'm funny. My clients tell me that they feel like they can tell me anything. You won't learn too much about me personally but you'll know a lot about who I am because the therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us. That means that I'll have thoughts and reactions and I'll share them kindly and carefully.
You'll get to know yourself better and that will mean that you can feel more connected to other people. Most of the people who work with me find that their relationships with others are stronger and more satisfying and that they feel less shame, fear and sadness. We all deserve relief from our burdens.

Elements Counseling and Wellness Spa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LPC, LCSW, LSW, LAPC,
We believe healing isn’t always quiet—it’s about being bold, being unapologetically you, and finally letting your body release the weight it’s been carrying. By blending compassionate psychotherapy with restorative somatic care like halotherapy and deep muscle compression, we help you process trauma in a way that truly sticks. Our sanctuary is a safe, fiercely inclusive haven built for marginalized voices and the queer community, where you’ll feel the relief of a warm blanket the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re navigating trauma, neurodiversity, or sex therapy, you don't have to carry your story alone anymore. You’re home—come in, exhale, and let’s start your next chapter together.
