Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in 60606

If you are here, I imagine you may be feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what you are doing. Whether you've been in therapy before or this is your first time, I'm here to assure you that you are in the right place. Uncertainty can often manifest into various areas of our lives, leading to moments of anxiety, depression, difficulties with self esteem, relationships and addiction. Often we are simply standing in our own way, unaware of the control we have. In establishing a safe, empathetic and supportive environment, I am committed to helping you become aware of your power to create change for yourself, even in moments of uncertainty.

Hi, I'm an IL Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and board Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with my Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling from Drake University. I have 15 years experience providing therapy in inpatient, community, home, and remote settings. I have worked with clients across the lifespan; however, I've found most children are best served with play therapy, which I do not know how to provide in a remote setting. I understand the difficulties of managing work, school, and personal relationships.

Hello, my name is Walter. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. I work with men and women who are struggling with addiction issues, anxiety and depression, and related trauma. I also focus on helping couples work through relationship issues. I have worked in the addiction and mental health field for over 25 years helping people who genuinely want to help themselves. I have a strong faith-based and 12-step recovery background both professionally and personally.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you know what is wrong, but not how to fix it? My experience of 30+ years, enables me to offer effective and eclectic outpatient, psychotherapy. I incorporate research based techniques such as CBT and Positive Intelligence combined with practices such as Shamanism and Ho' Oponopono. I would be grateful if you would choose me as your Ally to find what will uniquely help you become your best self.

I am a bilingual and bi-cultural therapist who values the strength of a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. You might feel overwhelmed with finding a therapist if you are already feeling stuck. It can be hard to find someone to disclose your feelings to a "new person" during your time of vulnerability. My warm, empathetic, and non-directive approach has helped those new to therapy feel comfortable disclosing their most difficult emotions and experiences. My approach is collaborative, where I can guide you to find the right tools to feel in control of your life again.

Are you the person you want to be? Are you having difficulty in your relationship or career? Do you often feel as if you are not good enough? As a man, do you avoid or deny your feelings? Are you stung by a recent breakup/divorce? Ask yourself a different question. Are you ready to feel empowered and thrive? My goal is to help you increase self-awareness & make positive lasting changes in thoughts and behavior. I provide integrated therapy and consulting customized to your unique situation, goals, personality, strengths, and history. To help you become a better version of yourself and reach your unlimited potential.

What's on your mind? Are you experiencing relationship problems, family troubles, money issues, health concerns? Do you feel anxious, scared, sad or stressed? Whatever it may be - it is, likely, consuming you; you are feeling out of touch, lost; as if your entire world is spinning out of control! What if you were to, for a moment, forget the destination you believe your life is headed and instead, focus on your journey? For only in the process of living your life completely and meaningfully, will you come to find its true purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

Maybe you have tried convincing yourself that you don’t really “need” help, but you are tired of feeling drained, unhappy, or frustrated. Perhaps you need emotional relief from trauma, strained relationships… or are simply hoping to regain some balance in your life. If this hits close to home; you do NOT have to keep going through life feeling this way. We're here to help you get your light back, reinvigorating your relationships, and gain a fresh perspective on tackling your problems. If you are willing, let’s start opening the blinds on the dark areas in your life. Together, let’s restore your light and reclaim your power & joy.

As my client, you can expect us to create a clear plan for achieving your therapeutic goals. You can expect to leave each session with something to process alone or a skill to incorporate in your life. All of the goals and plans we will create together and at a personalized pace. I will meet you where you are at in your treatment. I am aware the pace of treatment can vary, so we will build strong and assertive communication skills that are both honest and effective in your treatment.

I have worked with people from all walks of life for over two decades. I am goal-oriented, like to get to the point, and work with you to offer real-life solutions, instead of staying stuck in the past. Yes, I'm compassionate and gently curious too, but I like to get down to nitty-gritty and get you feeling better ASAP. I also have a degree in philosophy and enjoy helping people look for meaning in their lives if that is what they need to feel better about themselves

I utilize Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to help clients identify and dispute problematic beliefs, and re-frame them into productive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. With REBT, you can learn to reduce and manage your anger, anxiety, depression, guilt, rage, shame, and/or addictive behaviors. We work together to identify and dispute your rigid demands and/or dire needs, and re-frame them into strong, healthy preferences, and your catastrophic thinking into proportionate appraisals of activating events.
