Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in 60640

As one of the first in-home addiction treatment providers in the country, we are an excellent fit for those struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress who want to remain engaged in positive forces in their lives (work, family) while they recover. Our clients also value the privacy and convenience that our treatment program offers. Of course, there should not be a one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment, as you have unique needs and goals. To that end, our clients have a dedicated team of addiction professionals to provide psychiatry, medication, and counseling services as appropriate, over the course of an entire year. Not only are we able to more precisely tailor your recovery program than other addiction treatment providers, but we also help you learn and practice coping skills in the environment in which your sobriety will be tested.

Fuller Counseling was founded with the mission of creating a space that is comfortable, warm, compassionate, and free of judgment. We aim to work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples and families to challenge negative beliefs, patterns, maladaptive coping skills, along with other difficult cycles that may have appeared throughout the course of life. We work with clients to create goals and treatment plans that will lead to healthier ways of living and utilize productive coping mechanisms. We empower our clients to make changes and gain insight that will stop old patterns and increase self-awareness and confidence.

I am passionate about providing counseling for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I enjoy working with diverse cultural backgrounds, all sexual orientations and gender, and advocating for clients. I use an integrative treatment pulling from Humanistic, Systems, Trauma-Informed, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while incorporating expressive therapy techniques for individual clients. For couples therapy, I use the Emotionally Focused Couples therapy techniques to help couples understand and dismantle unhealth conflict cycles.

I believe that clients are fundamentally trying their best to survive and thrive in the world as they understand it, and may need assistance in gaining new tools, new perspectives, or adapting to a new context. I am a member of and passionate about working with the disabled, kink/BDSM, and alterhuman & furry communities.

Current availability: Virtual sessions only, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I’m a queer therapist who is dedicated to creating an affirming therapeutic experience for you. I focus my practice on working with adults (ages 18 and older) who need a safe, nonjudgmental space to identify their challenges and goals related to their LGBTQIA+ identity, trauma, race/cultural background, abilities, neurodiversity, and experiences in their family of origin or chosen family. I also have expertise in helping people explore and change their relationship with alcohol, substance use, and other addictions.

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

Life can be challenging for many reasons. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by stress, feelings of loss, and/or disconnection. Often, we look around us and ask why others seem not to share similar struggles. This can lead to feelings of being stuck, confusion, hopelessness and/or feeling misunderstood. Therapy offers both a space and an opportunity for us to reconnect with those parts of ourselves that feel out of sorts.

I am a dynamic and dedicated individual who focuses on helping clients find meaning and purpose in their lives. Through an existential lens, I integrate a variety of approaches, including CBT, mindfulness, and solutions-focused therapy to help clients discover their wants and needs and the inner resources and self-compassion to pursue them.

Good therapy gives clients the ability to recognize their inherent strengths and the healing possibility in their situation. My goal as a counselor is to create a supportive therapeutic environment in which my clients can begin to understand their feelings, while discovering the barriers that limit their full potential. I became a therapist to help people navigate their complex worlds in order to live healthier, happier lives. I believe in a holistic approach to health and that all components of one's life are interrelated.

Many times making effective decisions and maintaining consistency toward our goals can be challenging, causing inner conflict and a feeling of hopelessness. My mission as a therapist is to guide and help you discover strengths you didn't know you had. As a team, we will explore and process the emotional, cognitive, physical, familial, and spiritual factors impacting your life and preventing you from achieving a transformation in your life.

My philosophy of therapy is humanist, believing that every person is worthy of dignity, love, and fulfillment in their life. Therapy provides an affirming, compassionate relationship for clients to learn more about themselves, explore choices, and better understand how they relate to the world around them. Through acceptance, curiosity, and discussion, I join with clients to support them in discovering their own potential, explore areas of growth, and identify the strengths and wisdoms they already carry with them. I believe therapy should be flexible and dynamic enough to support clients who are facing particular struggles.

Truer than ever before, the world is full of suffering. Though it is also true that the world is full of healing and overcoming. I see the hope that brought you to this page. The hope in finding healing and growth through therapy. It can be challenging to find a safe, culturally-sensitive, therapeutic space especially for those identifying as queer, transgender, and non-binary. You deserve to feel understood and supported. I am committed to creating and maintaining a safe and nonjudgmental space for people to explore their life experiences and strengths as well as cultivate a sense of self-compassion, self-trust, and empowerment.

At times a crisis, trauma, or series of compounding stressors can overwhelm one’s normal resilience and ability to cope. Professional therapy provides help in navigating through these difficult times, and the process can create lasting insight leading to a richer, more satisfying life. I believe as a clinical therapist, my responsibility is to provide a space where clients feel safe, valued and heard. I appreciate the uniqueness of each of my clients, and see the therapy process as a collaboration, where patterns of thinking and behavior are explored in an effort to bring about change.

Do other therapists seem judgmental? Don't understand? Won't listen to you? If you need to talk about anything and everything, clients tell me I have a strong capacity for compassion, empathy, and care. At the same time, I’m forthright and candid. I see you and hear you—a whole person (body, mind, spirit) living in an interactive and interconnected world. I believe you're the expert in you - even if you're not yet aware of it. My role is to help you find that, and bring my own holistic vision, experience, training, expertise, and tools to the table, so you can work to be the best possible version of you. I am a trauma specialist.

I passionately and compassionately care for the emotional well-being and behavioral health of my individual, couple, family and group clients for over 20 years. I draw upon unique combinations of clinical principals and innovative methods to best support all people within our vastly diverse community. I draw upon my deep understanding of culture, age, gender, race, class, family structure, and the type of or the lack of a support system can have on most all situations. I always provide a totally non-judgmental, safe, and confidential space to help my clients deal with their problems, issues or crisis.

Drawing on a variety of tools, we will collaborate on a treatment plan that fits your needs, goals, and values. My approach to therapy is emotive, cathartic, and cognitive. I work with people from all walks of life and collaborate with you to help shape the life you want to live.

It's easy to feel lost in life, going through the motions and struggling to find a purpose. Perhaps you're stuck in the same negative cycles, wishing you could break free and truly start living. I believe everyone has the ability to thrive and live a life that they love. You have the answers within you. Together, let's explore how you want to show up in the world.

There are numerous reasons why an individual makes a decision to seek therapy. From my perspective, the key factor in being able to examine your individual reasons is based upon the relationship between yourself and your therapist. I offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment in order to explore your individual needs with a commitment to placing the highest priority on your care. We will work collaboratively to identify and address your concerns in order to foster meaningful change in your life. My clinical experience has included working not only with individuals but couples, families and groups.

I will provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you. With the intention to allow for anything to be shared in a comfortable and confidential environment. I’m an especially good fit for those within the LGBTQ+ population. Or, those struggling with anxiety, depression, panic disorder or trauma. Through your course of treatment and beyond, my role is to be your advocate. To facilitate a process that gets you to the life you envision. And, if your life isn’t envisioned quite yet, that’s ok. We can even work on that too. Consider me as your personal wellness co-pilot.
