Karey Swartwout 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 negotiate 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. This background continues to shape how she thinks about therapy today.
Karey helps clients see their situation more clearly and recognize patterns and systems that are difficult to see from the inside. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, she helps clients understand what continues to drive them. By examining these cycles and their entanglements, clients often gain a more accurate awareness of the circumstances and which changes are most likely to improve their lives.
Karey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and 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 continues advanced training in evidence-informed approaches to trauma, relationships, and behavior change.
