Matt Swift
Clinician
My name is Matt Swift, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker.
I became a social worker because of my deep appreciation for personal and interpersonal healing and growth processes. Continued learning, growing, and connecting with others make life meaningful and rewarding. It has been my profound pleasure to facilitate these processes for others since coming to this field in 2016.
In my work with clients, I use a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, holding a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, stories and identities to foster resilience, integration, and peace. I seek to empower my clients to advocate for themselves and to embody their authentic selves in all areas of their lives.
I have immediate openings and would love to meet with you to discuss your situation and build a working relationship.
