Jeanne Foss Swaine
I provide Individual Psychotherapy and Couples Counseling with an honest, engaged, and compassionate approach. In my years doing this work, I've addressed a wide variety of issues including grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, self esteem, trauma, and infertility, to name a few. I am continually amazed by our natural ability to heal and flourish given the right kind of attention and presence.

My areas of expertise include fostering self-acceptance and secure attachment, recovery from group or family shaming, intimidation and scapegoating, and infertility.
Services
From infancy into adulthood, relationships have a powerful impact on our sense of wellbeing in mind, body and spirit. Maybe you were hurt in your family relationships as a child, or maybe you are struggling in current relationship to a loved one, or to people in your workplace. Either way, it is my job as your therapist to provide a safe enough space for you to explore these struggles in hopes to recover from them.
Therapy can be a very effective approach to getting back in touch with your fundamentally thriving self. The way I see it, we are born fundamentally whole and self-accepting. But as we interact and bump against the world around us we develop strategies that help us keep the tender parts of ourselves safe from harm.
My own travels, heartbreaks, and personal victories have led me on this path of deep listening. I understand how navigating through pain and hardship can lead to greater compassion for the human condition and ultimately bring about a more fulfilling connection to self and others. I see being able to accompany others through this meaningful process as a true privilege and hold this work with great care.
At the core of all relational conflict lies the deep longing to love, and be loved. Whether you are looking for help moving through a difficult patch with one another, looking to deepen your bond with each other, or looking for facilitation and guidance in the painful process of separation, couples counseling is the right step.
Children have feelings of all sorts. But because their brains are still developing, they don't have the verbal or cognitive ability to explain their feelings, which can leave them frustrated, isolated, and often misunderstood. However, they are experts at play and tell us most about themselves through this powerful medium of symbols and creativity.

I highly recommend Jeanne. She is a wise and compassionate therapist. She has the most gentle way of confronting me on issues that are hard for me, and she does it without judgment, in a curious and warm way that has led me to a lot of growth. She is a fantastic listener who feels very safe, and her clinical training is top notch.

Jeanne is able to reach young and old with her gifts as a therapist. She is compassionate, intelligent, easy to communicate with. She is versed in Sand tray therapy-used to help children express and access their emotions. She is able to work with groups as well as individuals. She is safe and confident with difficult topics and themes. As an Education Specialist with a Masters in Special Education, I look forward to collaborating with her in the future to help my students with emotional and learning difficulties. I wish there were more site-based therapist like her in my school District:

Jeanne is an excellent group facilitator. She is very present, sensitive to what is going on with members of the group, and speaks with wisdom on the topics she shares. She is wonderful to work with, and an inspiration. Just being in her presence feels good.
