Amelia Swanson, Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

warm, direct, and compassionate. My clients like that my approach is active and that I encourage them to try new strategies that actually help.

Something to know about my approach is:

When I meet with someone, we make a plan to help things feel manageable. Then, I help you learn to shift your thoughts and take the power away from your fears. Finally, you can focus on enjoying your life and feel more connected to others.

Together, we will:

Explore ways that you feel stuck or overwhelmed and be curious together about patterns that may be happening that you haven't noticed. You will learn new ways of approaching your challenges so that you can feel confident in yourself.

I specialize in working with people who:

are dealing with infertility, pregnancy loss, and adjustment to parenting. I specialize in helping people cope with health challenges such as chronic and terminal illness. I support healthcare providers struggling with stress and exhaustion.

I became a therapist because:

I love hearing people's stories and inner most feelings and am endlessly curious about each person's unique perspective.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am based in Chicago and see people across the United States via a video telehealth platform. Contact me for a free consultation to try it out!
