Welcome! I’m Faith Schweiger, LMHC,QS. I have been a part of the Mental Health Community since 1987. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Family Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1990. I continued on to graduate from Nova Southeastern University in 1993 with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. In 1996, I became Licensed and have been utilizing my license in versatile, inventive, clever, and forward-thinking ways.
Some of the unique experiences I've acquired being a trained, Court Ordered, Supervisor of Therapeutic Supervised Visitation, a Parent Coordinator, Family Mediation, and a Court Ordered Offender Mandated 26 week Duluth Model Batterers Program. I have been Clinical Director of many Mental Health /Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities and my last position was Director of Clinical Services at a Department of Juvenile Justice Treatment Facilities. My specialty is truly.... NON JUDGEMENT. It all just IS. There is no RIGHT or WRONG, GOOD or BAD. How can any of us judge another, when each of us are completely equal and none of us are without err.
To focus on another's shortcomings will never make ours disappear.
"I haven't failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Faith has been very helpful in getting me back to a path of positivity in a dark time in my life. She has been caring and dedicated, and was not scared to tell me the hard truths I needed to hear. I highly recommend her!

Faith has changed my life forever. She's the first and only person I've ever been able to have any kind of trust in. She's incredibly kind, caring, patient and supportive. I wouldn't be here at all right now without her. I was incredibly lucky to have had Faith as my therapist.

Faith has helped me out so much the past year. Her ability to listen without judgment is one of the key things I like about having her as my therapist. I stopped going for a few months and instantly was reconnected with her and picked up where we left off.

She has absolutely been a lifesaver for me. I do truly think that working with her through my trauma has helped me in ways i didn’t know I needed. She’s brought a raw and real voice into my life and has helped me face what I need to face. I can’t wait to continue our work
