About

My name is Craig Schweon and I am a clinical psychologist licensed in California, also in Virginia. I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University and have board certification as a National Certified Counselor by the National Board for Certified Counselors. I have been working in the field for well over 30 years and have extensive prior experience in community mental health, in consulting in long-term care settings and have provided a range of services to different ages and populations. In my private office for many years I have helped clients from adolescence through the older years, including many young and middle-aged adults, as well as couples and families. I do supervise clinical students and teach in the graduate counseling field.

I would describe my approach as integrative, but focused and I use a humanistic and existential base to understand the feelings and issues clients present. I will as appropriate utilize a variety of cognitive and behavioral strategies build on understanding others to help clients with attention to their current thinking and actions that can help and with goals. I will draw on a variety of other approaches including attention to how past experiences may have affected current thinking and functioning, and can help support client growth now.

I feel that with the good connection that I work to build with sensitivity and warmth, clients can move toward goals they have and with the support needed. I am ready to help clients start from where they are are and move forward.
