Welcome
NeuroSphere
Comprehensive health envisioned not only at the level of the nervous systems, but at the levels of the nervous systems in relationship with all spheres of influence on them.
Whatever you are facing, you are never alone in any of it.
Dr. Krista Swanson
Welcome, to my private practice. For 34 years, I've focused my adult and child practice on authenticity, leadership, secure attachment and freedom from the impacts of trauma. The way I work with people is heart-centered, neuroscience-driven and holistic health-based. Because each person is uniquely wonderful, I provide individualized (customized-to-you), integrative (drawing in a unique combination of treatments) care toward optimal mental health and brain well-being. Instead of helping you to cope, my goal is for you to be out there living your life to the fullest. To me this means that you will live from your true nature, in health, freedom, joy and fulfillment.
I am in international authority on trauma (interpersonal, disaster, developmental and violence), and also on attachment (child-parent, adult partnerships). I am honored that thought leaders invite me to publish in peer-reviewed journals. From the beginning, I was catapulted onto the world stage to consult and speak, mostly for the UN. My deep heart lies in facilitating growth and healing widely and also intimately, working directly with people.
My passion is relationships. My passion is living from complete vitality. So, my work with you centers on both. We will work, first, at the level of how relationships influence and are influenced by your unique-to-you nervous system. We will focus on rewiring neural pathways from the start. We will, then, creatively collaborate on this inner journey, as you heal your relationship with yourself and realize your dreams. When indicated, we will streamline your comprehensive care across health professionals for the most efficient, effective and sustainable self-transformation. For those interested, we can extend your psychotherapy to include your psycho-spiritual health, as you define it. For more, select “metaphysical health” in the drop down menu. I look forward to working with you and to the great things to come.
Neuroscience-Driven, Heart-Centered Clinical, Developmental and Medical Psychology
Interdisciplinary Psychotherapy, Assessment and Consultation
Overview
Psychotherapy
In psychotherapy, you will be supported to grow in your relationships, especially that with yourself. You will be supported to work with your unique-to-you nervous system instead of against it. You may develop executive functioning (emotional control, attention and focus) skills. You may resolve conflicts by becoming the director of your own life. You may know new clarity, energy, authenticity and freedom.
NeuroSphere is a private practice leading in neuroscience-driven, heart-centered psychotherapy, occupational therapy, integrative metaphysical healing and interdisciplinary health care. Our group partners provide therapeutic services across the lifespan. We offer individual psychotherapy to adults, teens and children from infancy. Additionally, we offer parent-child/ child play therapy and parent-infant developmental play therapy.
From an Interpersonal NeuroPhysiological framework, we employ Psychodynamic to parts work/ Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), from depth psychotherapies (Psychodynamic/neo-Jungian) (for trauma, mood, relationship and personality issues), to body-based psychotherapy (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for trauma). Because trauma is held in the mind with vestiges throughout the body, it must be simultaneously addressed on the cognitive, emotional and physiological levels. Our group practice is the functional medicine equivalent of clinical psychology. Patient-centered practice takes in all the areas of one’s health and gets to the root cause. As an interdisciplinary network practice, we work with other health providers to give you the most comprehensive and streamlined treatment for the quickest and most sustainable results.
In assessment and consultation, you'll get practical answers and support to move forward. We assess individuals from birth through adulthood using standardized measures. We offer psychoeducational, neuropsychological, neurosensory, developmental, personality, diagnostic/clinical (ADD, PTSD, ASD etc.), cognitive/intelligence (IQ, memory, etc.), executive functioning (attention, organization, etc.) testing.
Consultation
We provide brief and ongoing consultation for a host of individual and family questions and goals within our practice. We provide spiritual direction, parent and life coaching services.
Knowledge is power, so we launched the NeuroSphere Academy so that you might gain and maintain Brain Integration and a NeuroCognitive advantage in all that you set your mind to. Upskill and (non-electronically) rewire your brain for attention and focus, autonomic regulation, emotional adaptability, organization, cognitive flexibility, planning and follow through … and/or to enhance your performance, social ease, advanced academic or professional achievement…
Design has power, so we launched the NeuroSphere Architecture and Design Group. This is a consulting firm which provides individualized general, interior and landscape architectural design profiles so that your built and biological environments best support your neurological performance in learning, working, creating, relating, well-being and health.
