Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Buffalo Grove, IL

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!

There are many ways we learn to cope with hurt, stress, and loss and, given our past experiences and upbringing, these ways can often involve avoidance – wanting to escape or numb the pain. This may look like excessive screen use, emotional eating, self-medicating, isolating, self-harm, etc. If you’re noticing that what helped you get by until now no longer works, if it’s impacting your ability to show up in your life and engage with the things you care about most, then I want to be your ally and support you through the process of change.

Everyone experiences adversity at some point in their lives.  Often, the struggles we face overwhelm us, and we forget what it’s like to feel calm, content, focused, or safe. Luckily, hardship can become an opportunity for growth and change, if we’re given the right direction and support. I can help guide you through your difficulties when they become too much for you.

One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. There is so much value, understanding, and growth in developing a healthy relationship with yourself. If you think about it, the longest and most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. I am here to help you begin or continue that journey. I am the type of therapist you want to reach out to if you are struggling with perfectionism or low self-esteem, situations that make you feel anxious, depressed, and easily overwhelmed, or that feeling of being completely burned out and in need of self-care.

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.

Engaging in counseling is courageous. It means you are brave to not only acknowledge that life is not going the way you would hope, but you are also brave to seek help to steer the ship of your life. My goal during our time together is to give you the confidence to steer your own ship. You will feel heard, safe, and supported with me. It is important to me to learn about you your goals, your dreams, your interests, and your experiences. You are unique. In knowing you, I can know how to help you steer your ship.

I believe everyone has the ability, strength, and courage to create the life path they want. Everyone can address issues and make new choices. Challenging times and inner conflicts can motivate one to explore how to make life more meaningful and fulfilling. It is not a simple task to address current problems or old wounds, but it is liberating to resolve them. I will guide you in examining patterns that influence emotional distress and unhappiness. Learning how to cope and change these is part of your process of self-discovery and healing.

Don't settle for a generic drug and alcohol therapist. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance).

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Are you feeling overwhelmed with life? Anxious, sad, stressed? Engaging in therapy is an opportunity to uncover your strengths, learn how to cope effectively with stress and emotional pain while improving your relationships. It is a time to reflect and process the past so you can become the best version of yourself. Working side by side, I will guide you on a journey of writing the next chapters of your life story.

Hello and welcome! I'm Sonya and I'm so glad you're here. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and I work with children, adolescents, and adults. Prior to launching Morgan Counseling Group PLLC in 2020, I had worked as a social worker in several Chicagoland schools. I have extensive experience with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), 504 Education Plans, special education services, and navigating the school environment. My treatment background includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, social skills, relationships, behavioral concerns, transitions, self-esteem, grief/loss, and identity awareness.

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.

The late-great David Bowie captured one of life’s most enduring challenges when he dared us to “turn and face the straaange ch-ch-changes.” If only it were that easy, right? I am a change expert with 17+ years of experience helping people contend with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, “I feel stuck”-ness, low self-esteem, and underachievement. My approach is interactive, down-to-earth, and peppered with humor and creativity. Feel free to contact me for a brief, no-charge phone consultation. If I’m not the ideal fit for you or your loved one, I’ll be happy to assist you in finding someone who is.
