About me

Hello,
Welcome to the Betterhelp community! My name is Chris Swistek, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor in the state of Indiana. I have been in practice for over 18 years providing individual, family, marital therapy. For the last 8 years my primary focus has been on providing Evidenced Based Therapy to veterans and individuals diagnosed with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy), Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. In addition, I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Therapy for a wide range of diagnoses and issues.

I understand that therapy is not a one size fits all treatment, and take the take to establish the appropriate clinical rapport, understand my patients needs and wants, and work in collaboration with my patients to identify and develop a treatment plan that will best achieve their short and long term goals.

I understand that starting therapy is not an easy decision, and I congratulate you on taking this first step to creating a better you. I hope that I can be a part of your journey and help facilitate the changes you are looking for in creating your better life.
