About David Swineheart

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with 20 years of experience. I have worked with people of all ages challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and PTSD. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I believe it is the safest and effective model for Tele-Therapy. I also have training and experience working with people from other countries and cultures.
When working with clients it is important to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that you have many strengths that will assist you in your therapy. You have taken the first step, now make the second step and contact me.
