Therapy can be a very emotional and rewarding experience. Treatment is most successful when you feel a strong connection with your therapist based on comfort and trust. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to allow you to explore deeply personal issues and patterns in your life. I use a collaborative therapeutic approach to help you gain insight, set goals, and develop realistic strategies based on your strengths to increase your overall happiness and satisfaction in life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience. My practice focuses on the treatment of adults who are dealing with a multitude of life issues. I offer treatment in an atmosphere of confidentiality and collaboration. I specialize in the following areas: Crisis intervention, Grief/Loss/Bereavement, Depression, Anxiety, Stage of Life Issues, Women's Issues, Young Adult Issues.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over twenty years. I enjoy helping others reach their potential, and I see therapy as a journey. Whether it be short-term or long-term, my ability to build rapport and trust enables my clients to work on their issues openly in a collaborative manner. It is important to know that you are the author of your story and it is equally important to define your goals. My approach is to encourage self-discovery and to help provide other perspectives and coping strategies to enhance your life. It's about skill-building and managing new situations using new coping mechanisms, not old ones.

Does it feel like you can’t stop feeling anxious, overthinking, and sometimes self-doubt, and feeling “not enough” take over your life? Self-doubt and anxiety are overwhelming. It feels that you can’t stop overthinking and thinking about everything that can go wrong. You think about the bad things that can happen, the mistakes you can make, and the negative situations that can occur. Worry and overanalyzing take over, and you end up anxious and panicked. Questioning and doubting yourself makes you feel defeated. You overthink your abilities and self-worth, which makes you feel low and defeated.

You want to live a life without shame and guilt, where you can find peace of mind without hurting yourself or the people you love. I have dedicated my career to supporting those making this journey - I understand what comes next, and we'll work together through the tough choices and challenges ahead.

Hello there! I am accepting new clients during limited daytime hours. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My mission is to empower clients to become the best versions of themselves by supporting them in overcoming obstacles and accomplishing their goals. I provide a foundation for clients to become effective communicators, as well as self-confident and self-aware individuals. And hey - we'll have a bit of fun in the process as well!

To me, there is nothing more meaningful than walking alongside individuals on a therapeutic journey towards healing and fulfillment. At Therapeutic Life Counseling PC, I’m passionate about working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Also, I have a specialization in working with children who experience Selective Mutism.

My goal is to motivate people to overcome their challenges by recognizing their self worth, modifying negative thoughts/behaviors, and creating an identity that represents their most authentic self. I am a firm believer that one size does not fit all, so with my clients goals in mind, I alter my therapy techniques based on their individual needs and personalities.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, binge eating disorder, trauma/PTSD, addiction, women's/men's issues, domestic violence/abuse, and other socioemotional and interpersonal related concerns. Clinically, I work with clients (adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families) primarily through a cognitive-behavioral approach, fostering empathy and authenticity in a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive environment. I also work strongly through a collaborative approach, helping clients gain a deeper understanding into their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in order to help cultivate positive change.

My areas of expertise include group and individual therapy with a specialty working with children, adolescents and young adults. I work with many adults individually as well. Positive attitude, personal growth and fulfillment are achieved through our therapy sessions together. I am a licensed clinical psychologist. For an appointment call: 847-975-5598. Evening and weekend hours are available

I am a compassionate and dedicated counselor with an extensive background spanning over 35 years, specializing in guiding adults towards a brighter, happier future. My approach is rooted in cognitive therapy and other evidence-based therapeutic techniques that I carefully tailor to the unique needs of each individual I work with. My focus is on short-term solutions that empower my clients to achieve their goals and make lasting, positive behavior changes.

It takes courage to reach out for help. As a caring, knowledgeable therapist, I am committed to assisting people to take the additional steps necessary to create change in their lives. Let's work together to identify the changes you wish to make and develop a plan to move toward those goals. Whether it is depression, anxiety, grief and loss or whatever issues you face, I can help you as I have helped others to achieve their goals as they improve the quality of their lives.

I am a clinical psychologist focused on helping kids, teens, and families navigate challenges related to ADHD, social relationships, difficult emotions, and stress. I believe that with the right supportive environment of empathy, patience, and guidance, we can all grow through these challenges and emerge stronger than before. I offer therapy and testing services to facilitate this process of growth. I am currently providing these services remotely through telehealth, and I am able to offer remote testing for some presenting concerns, such as ADHD, emotional functioning, and disruptive behaviors.

Life is a journey that comes at us in waves or phases. These waves can knock us off our feet and, as a result, often feel insurmountable. I admire the bravery you show by coming to treatment and am honored to be part of your journey. By doing this, we will alleviate current symptoms and make connections between past and present. This will leave you with your eyes wide open to impending waves; thus, lessening their impact.

Its very rewarding to watch a client evolve to a point where they live life to the max. Its my privilege to walk alongside and see my client progress and thrive. For more than 23 years I have seen clients with multiple presenting issues, and all age ranges. My therapy style is active and goal oriented, and I believe a client is going to get as much out of therapy as they are willing to "behave" into change. I use Adjunct Techniques with traditional therapy such as Biofeedback and Neurofeedback and this has been immensely helpful for many of my clients who do not benefit from traditional forms of therapy or psychiatric medication.
