I had called back the same day after making the appointment with her cuz I had a question and never got a return call. I called 3 more times the week of my appointment to confirm and still didn't hear back. The morning of she called me saying she was late cuz of her new puppy. When she arrived I was trying to openly communicate about what had happened. She then said "YOU'RE CLEARLY UNHAPPY" and I left.. GREAT SESSION. I was looking forward to meeting with her. She has a lot of great reviews but my experience was very unprofessional.

I struggle so much with focusing and paying attention to tasks for work, school, and even home. He does not seem to judge me, then again I don't tell him things that I told my last psychologist because he does not specialize in that field. I appreciate that he takes the time to suggest helpful assignments at the end of a session. He emailed me some articles once so that I could learn more about some topics we touched upon.

I had an appointment with Dr. Tregoob in 2025 that left me very disappointed…read more During the appointment, I came away feeling that my concerns were not being addressed. After I mentioned that I was moving out of my parents' home, much of the session was spent with Dr. Tregoob looking for apartments on his phone. From my perspective, this did not feel like a therapeutic exercise. Instead, he periodically pointed out available apartments in good areas and encouraged me to act quickly if I found one I liked. My recollection is that he also arrived late and ended the appointment early, and there were long periods of silence during the session. The reason this is not a 1-star review is that I had seen Dr. Tregoob several years earlier and found him knowledgeable about anxiety management. While I had noticed some similar time-management issues during those earlier visits, I felt he demonstrated genuine expertise in treating anxiety. Unfortunately, my 2025 appointment was a very different experience.

I will never regret my choice to confide in Dr. Swartout! She has adeptly and intuitively…read moresensed what I needed to experience deep healing and growth for deeply imbedded patterns of thought and behavior. She has helped me more than previous therapists and is the very best listener and empathic professional anyone could ask for. She clearly tailors her approach to best meet each client at his/her unique point of need. She is also quick to assess the root cause/s of issues and sensitively leads you through one or more of the most effective modalities for restoring your sense of peace, stability, and hope.. I have no doubt that I am her entire focus during our sessions. Her decisions on my behalf are consistently grounded in intense study, reflection and kind and supportive respect for not only my past but also my future potential.

I am so deeply thankful to have found her and been able to work with her over the past year. She has not only changed my life but she has changed my daughters and our next generations by helping me understand that I am not broken, that I am capable, that I am strong, and that I am allowed to have needs. That last piece is deep and transformative.

She has helped me move forward more than previous therapists and is the very best listener and empathic professional anyone could ask for. Session after session, I have been impressed to realize that I am consistently her entire focus during my weekly "hour." It has been my choice to work with her long term even though she was quick to assess the root cause/s of my issues. I was touched by how sensitively and decisively she led me through one or more of the most effective modalities for restoring my sense of peace, stability, and hope. AND her command of therapeutic modalities--in and of itself--is of especially profound worth when measured against MANY of her professional counterparts. Finally, it is obvious that she clearly tailors her approach to best meet your unique need--even when YOU have no idea what you need!!
