Family Counselor in Chicago, IL
Family Counselor in Chicago, IL I value each person that I work with - it as an honor that they choose to share their lives with me. My aim with everyone is to supply services that facilitate an improved level of functioning and contentment in their lives. My style as a clinician is relaxed. Our sessions should be a positive interaction, even if we're discussing difficult issues. Whether a therapist or a coach, my sessions tend to have more of a feeling of two people relaxing in my living room and having a conversation. It is my job to make you comfortable and safe so that we can resolve the issues that have brought you. I do not sit back quietly, but instead engage with you to create movement and change towards a positive outcome.

read moreMy practice is eclectic. Some clients are working through trauma issues, while others are addressing difficulties coping with life transitions, grief, relationship issues, anxiety and depression, or emotional instability. Regardless of the reason for seeking therapy, your feelings and experiences matter - you are important to me. I don't see you as broken, instead that you are not satisfied with how you are coping with the often complex and contradictory world we live in. Our time together is yours, and you deserve to get what you need from it.
Therapy For Anxiety Chicago
read moreIt seems like a simple question, but in actuality, it is not always one that easy to answer. So often anxiety fools you into thinking something else is going on, so you don't even realize you are anxious. But sometimes this is reaction misfires and we keep ourselves from really experiencing our life. At its core anxiety is a healthy fear reaction and serves the valuable purpose of keeping us safe from actual harm. Anxiety makes itself known when there is a danger or a potential threat in your environment.
Payment & Information
read moreWhether engaged in more traditional psychotherapy or coaching, we meet with clients in person in our downtown Chicago office. However, as appropriate, sessions can be conducted on the phone or through our secure web-based HIPAA compliant video call platform - Doxy.me. Fee-for-service payment is always an option. In a fee-for-service arrangement, we can base treatment on the needs of the client without the approval of insurance representatives. In addition, no information is shared with outside organizations, removing confidentiality concerns.
Life Transitions
read moreIt certainly doesn't feel like you're thriving. Everyone keeps talking to you about seizing the opportunities, but it seems you aren't able to see the opportunities - much less seize them. What you can connect with is the sense of loss and disappointment. But right now life isn't meeting your expectations and you are doubting your capabilities. You do need to grieve. Working with a therapist allows you to take the time to really define what is important to you and how you can thrive. Our relationship is in addition to relying on your personal support system.
Grief Counseling
read moreThe pain that comes is unpredictable and feels inescapable. And grief lingers - not always as constant but it stays and takes root. The one truth is that life is forever changed and things feel meaningless, gray, and empty. Losing someone close to you, whatever the relationship, affects how you understand yourself and the world around you. It might feel like as you're moving through your life, so much is familiar but at the same time, everything is just a bit distorted. And at times you just want everything and everyone to stop.

Therapists
read moreWe are a group of licensed therapists providing comprehensive psychotherapy services to those seeking profound and positive change in their lives. Psychotherapy focuses on helping people discover who they are and how to live the life they want to live. This mindset guides our perspective as therapist and even permeates our therapy spaces. We want to bring out the uniqueness of each client, so we created art-filled spaces that celebrate the individual, not the group. In many ways, the art serves to help you remember that you are not alone in your feelings and should not focus on being like everyone else.
