Getting to know Svanfridur Arnardottir

Hi there, I'm Svanfridur! My name is Svanfríður Arnardóttir, but please call me Swany. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Capella University. My approach My therapeutic approaches are trauma-focused, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR if in person. My focus I have experience working with CPTSD, PTSD, religious/cult trauma, anxiety and panic, self-esteem, self-doubt, cultural stress, existential crisis, first-generation immigration, and family estrangement. I’m passionate about empowering the self, and as a person-centered, strength-based therapist, I believe that you seek therapy with the untapped ability to be your best self. My communication style Clients have told me I am easy to talk with, relaxed, and focused. If I do not know something, I will make sure to have the answer as soon as possible. My journey to mental healthcare Having lived in three different countries has gifted me insight into different cultures and perspectives, each strengthening my cultural competence. Seeking therapy might not be an easy decision, but I recognize it as personal strength, resilience, and hope—these are the components I utilize in my therapeutic approach. I hold the belief that when seeking therapy, you are asking to be met where you are at. My goals for you I genuinely want clients to collaborate closely with me, as they are the ones seeking assistance, whatever that might be. I am not a "know-it-all," and it is important to me that clients participate in setting their goals. My first session with you Clients are welcome to ask me questions pertaining to our future work together.
