Jana Swart

Jana Swart, PhD, is a dedicated psychologist who understands that many individuals face uncertainty when managing new situations or resolving longstanding problems. She specializes in addressing anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions among adults and elders. Clients may find themselves struggling with relationships in their personal or professional lives, or grappling with enduring challenges such as grief, depression, and anxiety.

Recognizing that old coping mechanisms may no longer be effective, Jana helps clients explore how psychotherapy can support them in making healthier choices amidst current pressures or enduring issues. Her primary aim is to foster a safe and supportive environment, allowing individuals to delve into their concerns in a caring and constructive therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic goals are collaboratively established and may involve exploring thoughts, feelings, relationships, self-discovery, personal growth, and stress management. Jana's approach is rooted in a psychodynamic framework, utilizing techniques that delve into unconscious thoughts and the influences of the past on present experiences. She employs both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral strategies to assist clients in discerning what strategies are effective and which may need adjustment in their current problem-solving processes.
