Meet Heather

 

 

My name is Heather Swisher.  I'm the founder of Insight Therapy San Diego and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (License No. 51330). I have my B.A. in Communication Studies and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I have been a practicing clinician since 2005.  Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of treatment settings to include non-profits, public schools, residential treatment centers, and private practice. My vast experience has provided me training and expertise in treating adults with Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Grief and Loss, Eating Disorders, Life Transitions, Women's Issues, and Relational Problems.  I have received specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Gottman Couples Therapy Level 1. I also utilize many evidence-based approaches to treatment to include:  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, and Grief Therapy, 

​

As a therapist, I believe that insight needs to be developed in order to identify and help heal the root issue.  I truly believe that through insight we feel more empowered to walk through previously avoided areas of our lives that seemed too overwhelming to go through alone.  I will be there every step of the way to help guide and support you.

​

My goal is to create a safe space filled with warmth, authenticity, and empathy for each person who walks through my door.   As a therapist, I feel honored to be able to hear each person’s story and join them on their journey toward healing, peace, and fulfillment.  I look forward to meeting you!
