Philosophy of Care: Mr. Swank has a practical, and scientific approach to dealing with counseling problems. His whole career has been dealing with the role of medicine and mental health. He frequently coordinates treatment with physicians to optimize and improve moods, behavior and emotions with medication. This often allows the counseling to be more productive and beneficial.

The goal is to provide information and practical solutions to life's tough problems. He believes that the more informed you are about various conditions and situations, the better you can make good choices.

Counseling is also the process dealing with feeling "stuck" about something, and then figuring out ways to become "unstuck." Once people start feeling less stuck, they start feeling better.

Mr. Swank believes that the client needs to set the goals for counseling.
