Karey Swartwout, MA, LPC-Associate, is a psychotherapist and founder of Swartwout Group.
Before becoming a therapist, Karey spent more than two decades building and selling businesses, leading organizations, and helping people navigate growth, difficult decisions, conflict, and periods of significant change. As the parent of a large blended family and someone who has experienced personal and professional transitions, she understands that life's challenges rarely fit neatly into categories.
Work affects family. Relationships affect health. Major decisions affect identity.
Clients often seek support when they feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next. Karey helps clients step back, see their situation more clearly, and recognize patterns that may not be immediately visible. By examining these patterns, as well as incentives, habits, and past experiences, clients often gain a deeper understanding of what drives their circumstances and which changes are most likely to improve their lives.
Karey holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations and Communications from Texas State University. She has completed advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
Swartwout Group welcomes all clients and is committed to providing a respectful and supportive therapeutic environment.
