Sweet Swinney Counseling

Psychotherapy Services
and Relationship Workshops

"Sometimes when it's quiet, surprising things happen."
-Mary Pipher

Hello,

I’m glad you're here. I'm Katherine Sweet Swinney, a licensed professional counselor who has been working with adults in Austin, Texas for over 10 years. My passion lies in helping individuals find a sense of wellness and peace. Life can be challenging, and transitions can be tough, but support is available.

For couples, I am dedicated to helping you find connection and better ways to communicate. I offer two workshops - one for new parents and one for couples in any stage of their relationships.

​

Please reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call to see if we'd be a good fit to work together.

Individual Counseling

Life Transitions, Anxiety, Depression, Grief

I work to create a safe and supportive space where I prioritize wellness and balance. I'm dedicated to providing you with specific tools and strategies to help you reach your personal goals, but you are the expert on your life. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with life transitions, depression, and anxiety.

​

$150/ for a 55 minute session; I also accept BCBS, Cigna, and Aetna insurance.

Counseling for Helpers

Compassion Fatigue, Burnout

Are you a caregiver, a parent, or a helping professional yourself? I know how tough this can be. I'd love to talk more about how we can help you feel more resourced and supported so you can have more capacity to help those who are depending on you.

Relationship Workshops

Short-term, skills-based

Sometimes we just want some new perspectives or tools to help increase connection in relationships. Short-term, goal-oriented workshops based on the Gottman 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work and Bringing Baby Home are available.

​(Katherine is a Level 2 Trained Gottman Therapist and Educator.)

 

If group settings aren't for you, email me to discuss individual classes. â€‹
