About
My name is Lisa Swedlow and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Southern California. In therapy sessions, I take an action-oriented approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions to enhance self-awareness, expression, and acceptance. I also utilize EMDR for clients who struggle with trauma. I have worked in Southern California addiction treatment centers for 10 years, so I am well versed in helping clients overcome their addictions to alcohol and drugs. During our first session, I will ask what kinds of needs or issues you'd like to address in your treatment as well as what you've done to manage your mental health in the past. I will ask you to talk through what worked and what didn't to get an understanding of how best to help you.
