Life Coaching Therapists in Deerfield, IL
I believe in the power of insight and solution focused change. My style is very direct and active as I feel this allows for the most efficient and successful results. I have found that providing feedback to my clients is helpful in creating meaningful growth. By creating a safe, non-judgmental environment the client gains a strong foundation that aids the development of insight and the ability to explore new ways of thinking and doing. After years of helping clients, I recognize that the core of successful therapy stems from the therapeutic relationship.

"Let go of who you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are." -Brene Brown It is often our own misconceptions who we are "supposed to be" and unrealistic expectations of ourselves that get in the way of our own personal growth. We tend to overlook our strengths and struggles while giving so much weight to these perceived failures. We think of happiness as a destination to get to, unpack our bags, and live there "happily ever after." I will work with you to untwist these unrealistic, unhelpful ways to view our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Our behaviors have a purpose if we look close enough without judgement.

I have been in practice since 2002, helping adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups. I work collaboratively with clients from a biopsychosocial perspective, using the interrelationship between the mind and body as a focus for treatment. As a medical psychologist on hospital staff, I diagnose and treat psychological issues in outpatient or inpatient therapy.

Nick strongly believes in the age-old adage “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Nick’s strength-based approach to therapy focuses on meeting a patient where they are and providing authentic, professional guidance. Nick’s goal is to create a space where patients feel comfortable speaking open and honestly about what brought them to therapy. His approach often includes skill building, psychoeducation, and introspection mixed with integration. He believes with the right clinician we are all capable of positively impacting our own mental health and well-being. Nick will remain focused on tailoring services to the specific needs of the individual wherever they may be in their lives.

When it comes to mental health treatment, our approach is simple and unique: our accomplished team of physicians and therapists work together to diagnose and treat your body, mind and spirit as a whole. We are one of the few practices combining traditional treatment with evidence-based alternative therapies, all under one roof. We are privileged to have changed the lives of many families in Chicago's North Shore, as well as out-of-state and foreign visitors. Our "whole body" approach to treating mental health conditions is supported by clinical studies. These include but are not limited to: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), diet and exercise, spiritual/social evaluation, yoga and art therapy. Many still focus only on the brain, treating symptoms, not causes. In many cases they over-prescribe medications. While our physicians do prescribe medications as needed, what sets us apart is our commitment to explore all options. We search for root causes and provide the most appropriate treatment, not merely the most convenient one. When we do prescribe, we go the extra mile to customize a plan that minimizes side effects. You and your family deserve the best in healthcare!

I work with women facing issues such as adjustment and life changes (divorce), depression, stress management, anxiety, relationship issues, and self-esteem.
If you are a woman and: Not feeling like yourself? Not feeling like you want to feel? Stressed with life (or certain aspects of life)? If your relationship (with a significant other, family member or friend) is not going the way you want it to? If your feeling anxious or depressed? If you are facing a life adjustment? Many people think, no one will understand or that it isn't important or serious enough to see a therapist. They are wrong. It always helps to talk.You don't have to deal with it alone. Call Me, I can help!

My goal is to help people change the ways in which we keep ourselves stuck, unhappy & functioning below our potential.

I work with people who have intimacy &relationship issues, chronic illness, self-esteem issues, conflicts, pervasive feelings of unhappiness, loneliness, loss, anxiety, depression and/or emptiness, self-defeating patterns or just a general sense of being out of sync with themselves, their feelings & the other people in their world. My style is warm, non-judgmental, empathic & collaborative.
