Anger Management Therapists in Bartlett, IL

Welcome to McNulty Consultants, I am an individual private practitioner whose primary mission is to provide quality counseling and therapy services that enrich and empower my clients. My practice is small by intention in order to keep the work with my clients as personal as possible. My approach to therapy uses evidence based techniques demonstrated to reduce client distress and improve overall quality of life. I am an empathic listener who will help you identify what's important to you and what you need. We'll collaborate together and I will offer guidance and feedback as needed to improve your life and reach your goals.

First and foremost, I commend you for taking the most difficult step in therapy- seeing its value and starting the process. The process can be uncomfortable, and I am here to help you make the process as easy as possible. Right from the beginning, it is going to be important to establish a good relationship in which you feel comfortable opening up and allowing me to get to know you. I do this mainly by asking questions, listening, and putting much care into understanding who you are and what you are saying.

Everyone deserves to know they are worthy of care, compassion, and support. We should not and do not need to be alone in our struggles. As an attachment, trauma, and expressive therapist, I am passionate about building a strong relationship that can assist you with feeling understood, valued, and empowered in your journey to self-acceptance, self-discovery, and healing. We can work together to help alleviate your anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, impulsive behaviors, parenting stressors, and / or any life stressors and transitions you are experiencing. I'm glad you're here and I am ready and available to help.

I believe that we all deserve to be happy. I work with clients to identify, evaluate, and challenge non-productive fears, thoughts, behavior patterns and beliefs, and develop purposeful and productive insights, beliefs, and behaviors to encourage and restore well-being.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who offers professional yet warm and caring help to those struggling with life's challenges. I have devoted my clinical work to assisting adult individuals with a broad spectrum of concerns. Specifically, I enjoy working with individuals in the following areas: depression, anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, low self-esteem, communication, and relationship concerns.

I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients in therapy. I work extensively with children, adolescents, and adults, and have been recognized for my work with troubled teens. I apply an integrative approach to counseling, selecting concepts and methods from various psychotherapy models, to address specific client needs. I believe that every single human being is precious, and has the right to a better life.

Dr. Brandt works from a research-based approach to therapy, focusing on education, skill-building and evidence-based interventions such as EMDR. Her approach is goal-oriented and helps clients move quickly through their "stuckness".

I am here to walk the journey alongside you. Life presents many challenges and adapting to a new "normal" is hard and perception can be glum. It feels like your sense of direction is confusing and uncertain. Relationships have lost their meaning, abundance and joy feel unattainable, and support stands at too far a distance for you to feel grounded in love and security.

“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t,” by John Green has always been one of my favorite quotes. As an advocate, I have continuously encouraged individuals to see a therapist. When life feels challenging it may be easy to tell yourself that there is no hope; however, it is my priority to remind you that there is. Therapy is not only for those who are managing something difficult, it can also be for someone who is adjusting to a positive change. It can be for a child starting at a new school, or an adult preparing to marry their soulmate.

I am passionate about holding safe space and supporting your move toward inner awareness and expansion of living to your fullest potential. I incorporate tools and techniques I have refined during my own personal growth and self-discovery journey, as well as from working with both eastern and western therapies across multiple clinical roles. I believe all answers, truth, and healing come from within. Let’s work together to improve your mental and emotional wellness, help you find balance, remember who you really are, and live the future you want. “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” — Carl Jung

You deserve to live a life that promotes love, peace, good health, and happiness! You can live a life that nurtures your growth, promotes healing, and ultimately leads to transformation and achievement of your goals. It all begins with you and your story! There are times in life when we are not feeling love and a sense of wellbeing. It’s okay to not be okay. And, it’s okay to need help dealing with life’s challenges. There is no shame in seeking support; it proves how courageous and strong you are and you should be proud! A wise person recognizes their limits, seeks help, and is not embarrassed to need the support.
