Dr. Amelia Swanson

I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Miami, completed my internship at Yale School of Medicine and my fellowship at CHA/Harvard Medical School. I have worked as faculty at UMASS and Northwestern Schools of Medicine. I have specialized training in health psychology including cancer, autoimmune disease, GI disease, infertility, third party reproduction, pregnancy loss, peripartum mental health, adjustment to parenting. I help with anxiety, depression, ADHD and burnout.

I help people recognize patterns that no longer help them, cultivate self-compassion and learn new skills and strategies to create lasting change. I support people to identify their values and what is really important in their lives so they can feel confident in their decisions even while navigating difficult life circumstances. I have a warm, compassionate and direct approach and use evidence-based methods (CBT, REBT, ACT, mindfulness).

Clients can expect to felt heard and understood, learn new skills and strategies and reflect on patterns in thinking and behavior. I encourage patients to examine their beliefs and behaviors to help them work towards living their life according to their values.
