Brandon Swaggart
Hi! I'm so happy you're considering taking me along on your journey for a while. I've been providing counseling services for over 15 years now and it's been incredible to witness the change my clients have experienced through the clinical counseling process.
I believe we both create and discover meaning through each choice we make, no matter the situation we might find ourselves in.

First session
When you come into your first session, it is my hope that you will feel accepted, just as you are, and ready to have a conversation that could be life changing. It is my heartfelt goal to create a non-judgmental space for you to be your truest, most authentic self. In that same spirit, I will also challenge you to create/discover your authentic self.
Strengths
My goal is to empower you to have the tools you need to continuously be who you are and to reach the point where you no longer need me. My therapeutic model is humanistic in nature. That means I believe in the ultimate good that is already alive in you. Together, the work we do will empower you to seek and maintain lasting change. You may even be surprised to achieve unexpected insights!
Ideal clients
In my practice I have worked with individuals (18 and over) as well as couples, run divorce recovery groups and journeyed with people who have experienced the loss of a loved one or even their pets. I've counseled individuals and couples from the LGBTQ+ community and I am also competent to provide Clergy care. I am a combat Veteran (OIF/OEF) and have served the military population and their families. If you are looking for a counselor that will be present, help you make tough decisions, and support you as you carry heavy emotions... I'm the one you're looking for.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered/Humanistic therapy is a way of counseling that starts with the belief that people have the capacity to grow, heal, make meaningful choices, and become more fully themselves. You are the expert on your own life. My job as your therapist is to understand you, help you understand yourself, and create a safe space where you can figure out what you want and how you want to live.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach that helps people find their own reasons for making a change. I won't tell you what you should do. I'll help you figure out what you want, why you want it, and what might help you get there.
Gottman method
The Gottman Method is a form of couples therapy that helps partners understand each other better, communicate more effectively, manage conflict, and strengthen their friendship and connection. The goal isn't to teach couples how to never argue. It's to help them handle disagreements without damaging the relationship and to build a relationship that is strong enough to handle difficult times.
