Jason Swanson
doctoral student in clinical psychology
supervised by Kelleigh Head, PsyD
Hello, my name is Jason Swanson! I am a Psy.D, Doctoral student in Clinical Psychology at the Chicago School working under the supervision of Dr. Kelleigh Head. This means you will have the support of a dedicated team as we work together toward your goals.
With a background serving in the United States Air Force, I gained extensive mental health experience both in foreign and domestic settings. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, which attention to creating a supportive and non-judgemental environment where clients feel safe to explore their challenges. I am passionate about working with individuals navigating men’s mental health issues and trauma-related concerns. My military experience has given me an unique insight into the challenges faced by service members, veterans, and those who have experienced trauma.
Outside of the therapy room I enjoy staying active by working on projects around the house, playing pickleball, basketball, and working out at the gym. I am currently training to complete my first sprint triathlon this year, which reflects my belief in setting goals and pushing through challenges, both things I strive to bring into my therapeutic work.
I believe in the power of connected and collaboration in the therapeutic process. Healing begins with connection and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they grow, heal, and discover their own strengths. My goal is to support you in finding balance, resilience, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

“We don’t hear much about how painful it is to go from being completely stuck to becoming unstuck. The process of becoming unstuck requires tremendous bravery, because basically we are completely changing our way of perceiving reality, like changing our DNA. We are undoing a pattern that is just not our pattern. It’s the human pattern.”
