Jean-Marie Schweizer

As a licensed professional counselor, I am licensed in the States of Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas. I hold a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and am completing my doctorate in counselor education and supervision. I also hold a Master's of Divinity and offer spiritual direction/guidance to those interested. With six years of professional counseling, I have over 25 years of ministerial experience. With that, I am comfortable navigating the secular as well as the spiritual.

I work from an existential-humanistic perspective, focusing on individuals' meaning-making and recognizing their strive toward self-actualization. I believe that you are your life's story's expert and have many strengths that assist you in overcoming challenges. I also integrate with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative, and feminist theories, focusing on parts work and exploring your life's story while addressing concerns with oppression and privilege.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I honor your commitment to doing so. Let us get to know each other and see whether we are a good fit. My role is not that of an advisor, telling you what to do, but that of a companion who happens to walk with you, pointing out what may be relevant, as you explore your own path back to your natural state wellbeing.
