ABOUT Trevor Swoverland

Welcome!

It’s a courageous thing to recognize the need for help tackling problems you are facing, and I see it as my personal mission to partner with you to take on the concerns that brought you in. I offer a space free of judgment and full of acceptance for whatever challenges you have. I will meet you where you are at, and we will work together as a team to address the changes you want to make. We will construct our sessions to make use of the approaches and styles that will work best for you personally, and together we will evaluate whether our work is effective for you, and we will adjust our strategy as needed to reach the best possible outcome we can together. Through every step of treatment our focus is on your identified needs and your comfort with and confidence in the approaches we take in our work together. 

I have years of experience serving people struggling with post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, anger management issues, managing boundaries in relationships, grief, poor self-esteem, work problems, stress management, and adjusting to life changes. In my work I use several different therapeutic approaches including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), mindfulness practice, and I have considerable experience with safety planning for suicidal thinking and behavior. You are the expert in your own life experience and so with your knowledge and the approaches described above we can work together to improve your functioning and quality of life.  I am excited to get to know you and to work with you to create the future you want for yourself. 

Outside of my work as a therapist I am a volunteer firefighter and am often busy with my family on our small farm outside of Duluth.
