About Thomas K. Swisher, J.D., Ph.D.

As a Family Therapist I help families address and cope with challenges which inevitably arise in family systems and for the children and adults who make up a family. I am an Associate Professor at Stevenson University where I teach courses in "Family Studies" and "Family Therapy". In addition to a Ph.D. in counseling, I have a law degree and I use these two areas to help couples navigate the stormy waters of separation and divorce through MEDIATION and conflict resolution. I have been the lead researcher in studies involving the following variables: "Stress Related Growth", "Satisfaction with Life", "Hope", and"Adaptation to Stress". In addition, I have studied ways in which "Coping", "Spirituality", and "Personality" help individuals adapt to life stressors. I love all the things I do and am passionate about each. Mostly, I am passionate about working directly with individuals and families who are seeking ways to live full, healthy, and happy lives.
