Tori Sweeting is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nineteen (19) years of experience in the field of mental health to include ten (10) years working with Veterans. She has the knowledge and skills to successfully assist individuals with a variety of diagnoses—PTSD; anxiety & mood disorders; and psychosis—placing emphasis on the development of interpersonal and distress tolerance skills to effectively manage one's emotions. She assists individuals in identifying their vulnerabilities that often trigger negative cognitions or thought patterns with subsequent anxiety or depressive symptoms, i.e., the need to develop an understanding that our cognitions usually exist in categories; thus, indicating the need to successfully un-blend these thoughts to manage our maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Tori obtained her Master of Social Work (MSW) with honors from UNC-Charlotte. She has experience working with a diverse population of individuals including those having difficulty coping with the rigors of parenting and addressing the importance of creating a sense of self-worth in one’s ability to balance work, family, and individual time. She holds two (2) certifications, one (1) as a trauma professional and one (1) in dialectical behavior therapy.

One of the most difficult challenges is to accept the need to change our life’s story or narrative, the "Who I Am," as we transition from adolescence to adulthood to old age. As our awareness of self increases, our view of the world and the people around us change. With change comes motivation, and with motivation comes the perseverance and energy to become the person whom we desire to be. In my work with you, we will develop an individualized goal and treatment plan to ensure the achievement and accomplishment of your goals; thus, encouraging the narrative that you desire.
