Bronwyn Schweigerdt, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Bronwyn!

I specialize in helping clients overcome bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. My goal is not just to treat these disorders, but to help you break free from them completely.

My focus

The clients I'm best positioned to serve are ready to do the deep-dive into the root of their mental health issues, vs. coping with their symptoms. This requires feeling all our feelings. I also enjoy working with other therapists, as I have a number of clients who themselves are professional therapists.

My approach

I believe that panic, anxiety, and depression are not life-sentences that you have to learn to cope with, but rather symptoms of underlying issues that can be resolved through effective therapy. By identifying and addressing the root causes, I have helped many clients find lasting relief from their symptoms in just a few months.

My communication style

You can expect me to listen, validate, and believe you. I ask loads of questions, and I allow you to set the pace. I am empathic and committed. I personally have experienced many sub-par therapists, and I know the importance of attunement and validation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to the mental health field after witnessing the profound impact that therapy had on my own personal growth and relationships. This inspired me to pursue counseling so that I could support others on their healing journeys. I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals to overcome their struggles and reach their full potential.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you gain self-awareness, develop healthy coping skills, improve relationships, and achieve the peace and fulfillment you deserve. I want to support you in becoming the person you were meant to be. With dedication and the right approach, transformative change is possible.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and explore your goals. I will gather some background information and begin to get a sense of your strengths, challenges and overall situation. Most importantly, we will start to build the trust and rapport that will serve as the foundation for our work together.
