Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Fort Morgan, CO

My ideal clients are individuals striving to live a more authentic life and connect with who they truly are to meet their greatest potential. Some of their concerns may have to do with codependency, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, effective communication and life transitions. My style is compassionate yet challenging to get you where you want to be.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD across the lifespan. Broadly speaking, my goal is to support individuals and families in coping effectively with anxiety and stressors in order to live a meaningful life. My areas of expertise include generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, panic disorder, adjustment disorders, chronic illness, and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as co-occurring problems with mood, sleep, behavior, and/or family functioning.

Our lives are full of beginnings and endings, of smaller and larger scale. Some changes are difficult to navigate, some we ignore and some we aren't even aware of. Before a new chapter can begin, one must be able to learn how to navigate through the experience and say goodbye. I facilitate opportunities that provide client's clarity and support with moving forward in the direction they desire. Making room for self-acceptance, more joy and deeper connections. I specialize in working with the marginalized and adults who are going through a process of change & growth, and those navigating difficult life transitions.

Do you know you need to change, but are afraid of what that change entails? Are you struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, anxiety or trauma? You are not alone, and you are courageous for seeking help. It can feel daunting to address these painful experiences, but what lies on the other side is freedom, connection and beauty.

The issues which I enjoy working with the most are those related to relationships and family dynamics. One of the areas of most interest to me is working with individuals who are coming out of a relationship with a partner who had narcissistic personality traits. I became licensed as a marriage and family therapist in 1998 and have worked as a family therapist in substance abuse treatment programs, residential treatment programs for children and adolescents, and residential treatment programs for women. I also work with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma.

I use an integrative approach that borrows from many of the most powerful theories, including some newer innovative approaches and the ones that have been proven over decades. You should not wonder whether our work is helping - instead, it should be clear to you (and often the important people in your life) that you feel more comfortable, motivated, and content.

Let's focus on your strengths to create the life you want to be living! No matter what ails you: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma... even simpler things, such as relationships, work stress, or finding a more meaningful life... I can provide education, emotional skills, coping strategies, and a compassionate ear. As a CBT and ACT therapist, I use therapy and skill building, looking at the interplay between our beliefs and ideas, our experiences and environment, and our values and choices in life. I also address biopsychological concerns such as sleep, neuropsychological functioning, breathing, and fight or flight responses.

Fulfilling, secure relationships are attainable and take consistent, dedicated work. My job is to be the training wheels on your metaphorical bicycle and assist you in launching towards your goals. Whether you are coming in looking to improve communication skills or on the brink of a breakup or a family meltdown, I strongly believe it is never too early or too late to start therapy. These same sentiments also apply to my work in assessments. Through all of my testing, I’m looking for strengths.

As a therapist, my strength is helping people clarify their goals and unearth behaviors that are counterproductive in achieving those goals. Together, we develop a personalized plan, that includes new methods and tools to resolve current and future challenges in an effective and healthy manner.

I am passionate about meeting client's where they are at and creating a judgment free zone. I enjoy meeting with client's who are in life transitions, whether it be grief from a personal loss, or divorce. I believe that you know what is best for you, and having a therapist to travel through hard times with can provide heartfelt value. I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed addiction counselor, gray area substance use can feel overwhelming to address, talking about use in a safe environment can help to shift some of the shame.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore your unique life story. Together, we will cultivate awareness around your thought and behavioral patterns, and understand your emotions as they manifest in situations and relationships to promote understanding and clarity, and ultimately healing and wholeness. My approach is primarily Jungian inspired, depth and insight oriented and I also integrate CBT, mindfulness, and DBT. Together, within the space of a safe and compassionate relationship, we can explore your life journey with expansiveness as you move towards meaning and connection.

I do not believe that a person who desires counseling is broken. My job is not to fix you, but to come alongside you in the process of your healing. Oftentimes, what we need most is a safe place.

Thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Keith Swain and over the last 29 years I have worked as a psychotherapist and a college professor. I’ve learned a secret over that time: very few people have a true mental illness. Over my career I may have seen 5 or 6 truly mentally ill people. The rest? Folks like you and me - good people, just moving through life when, wham, something bad happens. If this were a problem with your car, at first you’d feel angry, or lost, or maybe afraid then you’d call a trusted mechanic. This time, it’s your life that’s off a bit and you’re looking for a trusted “life mechanic.” Good; you found him.
