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.

Are you at an emotional breaking point in your relationship? Do you feel constant anxiety, fear and stress from your relationship? is your partner closed off to you? Have you felt that your partner has become avoidant and you noticed a change in their behavior? Or maybe there is infidelity involved and you feel confused and fear of the unknown! These indicators are signs that you need help to stabilize your relationship. Emotional problems within a relationship will create daily havoc for the whole family.

Becca Edwards
Therapist, LMSW, Ed.S., M.ed
I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can feel truly seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. I care deeply about creating therapy that is compassionate, inclusive, and anti-oppressive—because I believe our identities, relationships, communities, and lived experiences all matter in the therapy room. My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgment or assumptions, and work alongside you to better understand yourself, heal, and create meaningful change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, betrayal trauma, relationships, ADHD, and life transitions, and I strive to make therapy a space where you can show up as your whole self.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.
