We offer a safe virtual space for you to set goals and incorporate coping skills into your everyday life.  

My practice is different because I pay equal attention to the mind and body. I pursued board certifications in clinical health psychology and behavioral sleep medicine, which required me to undergo thousands of hours of training and examination beyond my Ph.D. to discover intricate connections between the mind and body. I try to listen more than I talk and I am also an active therapist--- I share when I feel I have something of value to add. My primary therapeutic modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, which helps clients explore and get in-tuned with their own personal values and make changes from within that allow them to live in a way that aligns with those values. I also have extensive experience in helping clients with complex sleep disorders and offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and beyond. For clients who have had traumatic or unpleasant experiences that continue to resurface, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). My top specialties include working with clients experiencing chronic pain, medical problems, sleep issues, and life / work-related stressors.  

I provide my clients a "toolbox" of skills they can use both now and in the future. I was fortunate to have trained directly with Dr. Albert Ellis, the developer of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Dr. Francine Shapiro, originator of EMDR plus numerous and hypnosis trainings with many of the top hypnotherapists in the field.  

I will facilitate an atmosphere of warmth, support, & trust, to help you examine & change patterns or behaviors that are not working for you. A major goal of the counseling experience will be that you will be able to (a) choose new behaviors, and (b) have therapeutic support to make them work.

Hi, my name is Mary and I am a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for adults dealing with childhood trauma, depression, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma therapy, including EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy, to help clients process childhood trauma, attachment wounds, perfectionism and family of origin issues. I work with women, adult children of immigrants, and individuals seeking deeper healing from past experiences that continue to impact their present. My services include both weekly online therapy and EMDR therapy intensives, which offer extended sessions for more focused, in-depth trauma processing. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative, helping clients move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed toward greater clarity, emotional regulation, and lasting change. All sessions are offered via telehealth for clients located in California.

I understand how overwhelming life can feel, having navigated my own challenges and seen firsthand the healing that therapy can bring. In my online private practice, I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, trauma, OCD, life transitions, depression and relationship struggles. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, including DBT, CBT, EMDR, Soulution-Focus, Strength based and behavioral strategies, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way, right from the comfort of your home.  

I am known as a therapists' therapist due to my strong diagnostic skills and highly engaging style and ability to provide corrective emotional experiences to my clients. I develop real , authentic relationships with my clients to help heal pain, recover from shame, and to produce healthy, non-sabotaging behaviors.  

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or relationally challenged? Are you processing old or recent traumas, or grieving a painful loss? I know how difficult it can be to ask for help. My years of training and life experience enable me to provide caring competent treatment. Please don't leave yourself alone with your struggles any longer.  

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.  

LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD! I'm here to help custom-tailor a strategy for making this declaration a reality for YOU. Problems with communication? Suffering from anxiety or depression? Is a loss keeping you stuck? Do you have a history of abuse/trauma? I can help.  

I believe children, teens, and adults need space to be understood not only in what they say, but also in how they play, create, and experience the world around them. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in Psychodynamic and Gestalt therapies. In simpler terms, I care about identifying root emotions and experiences as well as your unique experience in the room as we meet. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel safe enough to be their authentic selves, knowing they do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I believe that building trust, safety, and good rapport takes time and continues to matter throughout the therapeutic process—not just during the first few sessions.  

I believe therapy is a place where you can slow down, feel truly heard, and begin making sense of the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, and I draw from evidence-based approaches while honoring each person’s values, faith, and unique story. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.  

I strive to offer personalized support to all my patients. I am trained to specialize in working with traumatic disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder. I have also chosen to specialize in biofeedback/neurofeedback modalities to support further healing. These interventions support greater control over our stress systems to make our lives more effective. In my practice, I provide individual sessions to individuals, couples, professional supervision, and biofeedback.  

Life is complicated, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. We believe the relationship you have with your therapist matters just as much as the techniques they use. Our goal is to help you find a therapist who understands your experiences, challenges you when needed, and creates a space where real change can happen.  

To the rest of the world, you look like you have it all together—but deep down, you know you are struggling. You carry an exhausting weight of never feeling good enough, constantly pleasing others, and taking responsibility for everyone's feelings at the expense of your own boundaries. Even though you are trying your absolute best, your relationships feel strained, leaving you disconnected from your partner and completely disconnected from yourself. You can see the patterns, you understand the "why," but you just haven't been able to change it on your own. It doesn't mean there is no hope; it just means it is time for a different approach. If you are a driven professional ready to step past perfectionism, heal your nervous system, and finally feel comfortable in your own skin, relief is possible. Email me directly to schedule a session; initial consultations are not offered.  

My passion is to help people create and maintain the best possible relationships they can in their lives. Most of that focus is on intimate relationships. Earlier in my career, I worked primarily with families around child-centered problems, and I ran the child and adolescent treatment team at a community mental health center for about fifteen years. Since I went into full-time private practice in 2006, I have shifted more and more toward working with couples, and my practice is now 70 to 80 per cent couples. I tend to be active but personal. I push couples pretty hard, but also offer a lot of support.
