Kellyn Swanson

Hello there! My name is Kellyn Swanson. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who has been practicing for the last 8 years. After attending college and graduate school in PA, I moved back home to New Jersey, where I was born and raised. As someone who has been in therapy on and off since high school, and continues to manage life with depression and anxiety, I know the importance of finding a therapist that is open-minded, accepting, and understands the complexities of mental health.

The client-therapist relationship is an essential element in the therapeutic process. I use my values of empathy, unconditional acceptance, and a non-judgmental stance to best meet the individualized needs of each client. I use techniques/skills from modalities like CBT, DBT, exposure & response prevention, motivational interviewing, etc. to support each client with the issues and complex situations they are trying to cope with.

I believe in utilizing my client's strengths and personal goals to lead sessions. I look to provide a safe and welcoming space for you to explore yourself and what a meaningful life looks like for you. I will collaborate with you in building a strong, therapeutic alliance, supporting your aspirations and goals, while helping you succeed in the pursuit of the life you desire and fully deserve.
