M.A., Registered Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern – Licensure Candidate

When you are feeling heavy, exhausted, or stuck after a painful experience, finding your way forward can feel completely overwhelming. It is easy to feel disconnected from yourself and unsure of how to bring balance back into your life.

My name is Elaina Swanson, and I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered as we work together toward your unique goals.

I bring a collaborative, trauma-informed approach to our work, integrating proven strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together, we will also explore self-compassion, nervous system regulation, and parts-focused exploration to help you better understand your story.

My professional background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults across community mental health, college counseling, and private practice settings. This diverse experience allows me to support people of all ages who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and much more. It is an honor to walk alongside my clients with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My hope is to help you build true resilience and create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and deeply meaningful.
