Male Therapists in Chicago, IL
I am currently accepting clients for in-person and telehealth! As a queer, Filipino-American, I have special interest and experience working with BIPOC, First-Generation Americans, and LGBTQIA+ living with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship distress, or difficult life transitions. It takes great strength and vulnerability to ask for help and to let someone in on our journey when we’re not sure they’ll understand us. I value the importance of the relationship between therapist and client. Your experiences deserve to be honored with care, empathy, and understanding and YOU deserve to feel heard, safe, and accepted.

Many, though not all, of his clients have experienced significant trauma.
Bill (he doesn't need you to call him Dr. Pekoc) will be a good fit for clients who are looking for a non-authoritarian, conversational therapist. His ideal clients will be interested in helping to develop their own goals and will be motivated to develop insights into not just how to manage the concerns that brought them to therapy but why those concerns manifested in the first place. Bill is committed to being non-judgmental, non-directive, straightforward, and direct. Many, though not all, of Bill's clients seek long-term therapy not only for addressing symptoms but also for fostering personal growth.

The best therapeutic relationships walk the thin line between comfort/validation on one side and growth/critical reflection on the other. With all my patients I work to meet them were they're at in the moment and create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space. I view my role in therapy as ultimately helping you to build the life you want to live. By necessity, that means no two people will have identical journeys. That said, my hope for all I work with is that through therapy you will experience a reduction of distress in the short-term and gain insight and the tools to feel you can effectively manage stressors in the long-term.

I use an interactive style when doing therapy, guiding and empowering clients to trust the wisdom received from the unconscious, and to use that wisdom with awareness. In this way, we facilitate the individuation process together. Individuation continually returns the individual identity--the Ego--to a healthy intimacy with the Self, the core of our being. By companioning you as you deepen your relationship to the Self and the archetypes, our therapeutic alliance can help sustain a vibrant, healthy and genuine presence in life.

My beliefs are clients hold the keys to their own healing and addressing the trauma in their lives. You have to be the driving force and navigator behind the pursuit of a healthy mind, body, and spirit. The act of being heard and understood is healing in-and-of itself, but an outside view, to guide or push us down the path of self-enlightenment and self-healing, helps. I understand the idea & process of gaining self-awareness via counseling can seem overwhelming and intimidating, but I believe it's actually a safe opportunity for personal growth, development, and achievement.

My interests include developmental concerns, relationships, gender and sexuality, specifically men and masculinity, and depression and anxiety.
I feel privileged to be a psychologist and my therapeutic style reflects this appreciation. Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I'm aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of the therapeutic relationship and by exploring patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling existence. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I incorporate various therapeutic approaches and interventions, which speaks to our unique needs.

I honor the hu man/animal bond and help my clients move through the pain of pet grief.
I believe that therapy can be about much more than just healing from or diving into the past. Therapy is a journey to wellness and living one's best life. I view clients holistically to develop goals based on their own values, taking an eclectic, person-centered therapeutic approach that tailors treatment to each individual. I meet clients where they are at in a respectful, judgment-free and safe setting, applying mindfulness as well as cognitive behavioral, hu manistic, and existential therapies. I work with sex positivity, open marriages, polyamory, kinks, and sex work with clients of all genders and sexual persuasions.

In every individual's life, the therapeutic journey can often resemble navigating a maze. Along this winding path, we may at times feel adrift, but it is within these very moments of vulnerability that we discover the potency of authenticity, affirmation, and connection. When we embrace the tapestry of our differences, we unveil the resilience that diversity brings. It is from this understanding that I've dedicated my practice to serving the often marginalized – be it the Latino community, the LGBT spectrum, or those embarking on non-traditional relationships.

Most clients come into therapy because of their current difficulty resolving a "presenting problem". That problem could be grief. It could be relationship troubles with partners, peers, or parents. It could be tied to substance abuse. Or trauma. Or both. It could be work-related. It could be a million things. Whatever the presenting problem, it tends to give the client physiological and psychological discomfort, which leads to the search for answers and relief, which often leads to counseling.
