Anna Swift, LCSW

Professional Bio

Hi! My name is Anna and I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2007. I received my master’s degree from UCLA and I’ve worked in a wide variety of therapeutic settings over the years. This includes working with young adults aging out of the foster care system, adults with mental health diagnoses, and older adults with cognitive impairment. Every day with WellQor, I help people experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, caregiver role strain, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, and those with a history of trauma.

As a therapist, I love the opportunity I have to get to know other people, learn about their lives and experiences, and help them navigate challenges and obstacles to reach their personal goals. I grew up in a home in which service to others was emphasized, so I get a lot of enjoyment out of my work and my relationships with my clients.

Over the years I’ve learned so much from those I’ve served about other ways of life and other perspectives than my own. It has really taught me to have a great amount of tolerance and understanding, and I know that everyone has a story and withholding judgment until we have a greater picture of someone’s experiences is a must.

As your therapist, I promise to be kind because you never know what battles someone else is fighting. I promise to listen and to create a safe space for you to express your feelings without fear of judgment. My goal is to help you build upon your existing strengths, while introducing new tools and techniques to help you feel empowered to make positive changes in your life.
