Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Chatham, IL

Hello, My name is Michelle Locke. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been actively practicing as a social worker since 1996 and as an LCSW since 2015. My skill set and professional experience lend themselves to supporting various individuals with Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), and Spirituality. I enjoy keeping people in therapy through Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Compassion Focused, Strength-Based, and Trauma Focused therapies. I believe that treatment helps people find true hope and healing for the pain we experience at times in life.

Struggling to find peace of mind amidst overwhelming anxiety or persistent sadness? Stuck in unresolved grief or overwhelmed by negative thoughts? You're not alone. Counseling can be your starting point towards healing and provide the support you need to navigate these challenges. I'm a faith-based, compassionate, and dedicated counselor specializing in helping teens and adults navigate life's challenges and past trauma. With a trauma-informed perspective and EMDR training, I focus on addressing anxiety, depression, OCD, and grief. I am delighted to offer faith-based counseling for clients seeking a clinical and Biblical approach.

Are you hurting? Not knowing where to turn to for help? Counseling can be a great place to find acceptance and help for one's problems.

I provide an accepting and compassionate environment so that you can begin the healing process and move towards meaningful, long term change. I serve individuals from Illinois and Indiana with eating disorders and co-occurring disorders such as OCD, mood disorders, and trauma. I also work with individuals that have had bariatric surgery and have an eating disorder. I approach food and body issues with the understanding that an ED can affect any person in any body. Clients that are seeking treatment for eating disorders will be encouraged to experience health and body acceptance through a non-diet approach.

I try to provide a comfortable setting for everyone to share their story. I consider it an honor to participate in this process.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to help them overcome anxiety and stress that is interfering in their lives and happiness.
