"Ilyssa Swartout, Psy.D. is a person and colleague I respect deeply. I first came to know Dr. Swartout on her dissertation committee where I experienced her passion and dedication to helping clients in psychotherapy. I along with my mentor, James F. T. Bugental, Ph.D., trained Dr. Swartout in the in-depth existential-humanistic psychotherapy for individuals and groups.

She brings to her individual and group practice not only rich experience but a large compassionate heart which is essential for long-term healing. You would be greatly fortunate to have Dr. Swartout as an individual or group psychotherapist."
