Provider Bio

Dr. Jocie Sweeney specializes in treating depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and trauma through an integrated approach with the goal of empowering her clients. Since 2011, Jocie has been passionate about providing affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals both professionally and personally. In 2012, she began her journey into affirming therapy for trans and gender diverse individuals and their intersectionality. Jocie continues this daily learning through coursework, training, consultation, and (most importantly) sitting back and listening to those with lived experiences when they offer and are able to share.
