I believe that therapy can enrich people's lives and relationships. It takes strength and courage to reach out for help, and oftentimes the first step is the most difficult. That’s why I emphasize on the development of a trusting relationship before anything else. I use a client-centered approach to help foster a warm and non judgemental environment where my clients can feel confident to explore and make changes to help improve their quality of life. I enjoy the use of play, humor, and warmth to create an enjoyable setting for the therapeutic process to occur.

I work with children, teens, and adults navigating a variety of challenges, including divorce and separation, anxiety and mood disorders, and life transitions. I use a systems theory framework to bring in questions around one's varying status and identities to then zoom in on how those affect one's individual relationships and internal world. I seek to create a trusting therapeutic alliance in which we can collaborate on techniques that work for you with the assumption that you are the expert of your own life. When working with children I strive to involve the whole family in treatment to ensure consistency and teamwork.

Hello there! I would love to hear from you about what's going on, and I think I can help. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor specializing in child, adolescent, adult, family, and couples psychotherapy. I provide treatment for psychological and emotional issues using an integrative Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach combined with a psychodynamic perspective. During crisis, it is important for my clients to have the skills to gracefully endure their suffering (the DBT component)--all the while keeping in mind the harder to see big picture where deeper issues occur at an unconscious level (the psychodynamic component).

Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis are opportunities for children and adults to work through the challenges of anxiety and depression, as well as traumas such as loss or abuse, and the defeating patterns of human interaction that result in problems in interpersonal relationships. Both modes of treatment provide opportunities for children and adults to experience improvement in their abilities to consolidate their talents and skills and to work more effectively toward their life goals. Thetis Cromie earned a doctorate from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago and holds master's degrees from the Divinity School and the School of Social Service.

Co-parents often express frustration over feeling disconnected from one another. Many view their child’s behavior as a direct reflection of their parenting, which can lead to stress and misunderstandings. My goal is to help you shift this perspective, seeing your child's actions as a way of communicating their needs. The transition to parenthood can intensify emotional challenges. I assist parents in navigating the complexities that arise during pregnancy and early parenthood. I empower parents to create a stable, nurturing environment for their families and feel comfortable throughout the perinatal period and beyond.
