Hello, I'm Jennifer. Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or sadness? Do you feel like no matter what you do you cannot change your unhealthy thinking? It is time for a change. I have been practicing for 15 years in multiple settings including colleges and mental health centers. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from a religious institution where I learned to integrate my counseling philosophy with my faith.

Therapy is a place where you can be open and honest about yourself and have no judgment about who you are. We all need to be willing to ask for help when needed. I feel therapy can help a variety of people and I look to work with clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I also look to help clients who deal with a variety of other challenges such as issues at home or challenges in school.

As you heal, you realize setting boundaries is not selfish, attention is not always love, and the opinions of others are not a reflection of your self-worth. No matter what stage of life you are at, it would be a privilege for me to be a part of your life and witness you grow and heal.

Being seen and heard is an important part of the human experience, and the therapeutic space is valuable for discovering who you are and how you interact with the world. Counseling can help with common life challenges such as anxiety, depression, overwhelm, trauma, adjustments, loss/grief, family, and relationship issues. I like to foster the therapeutic relationship using empathy and compassion from a professional vantage point. Everyone has unique needs and experiences that need to be explored and validated, while gaining skills and knowledge to elicit the personal changes you are aiming for.

Sometimes life can be extremely overwhelming, making even the simplest of tasks feel impossible to accomplish. I have extensive experience in helping my clients work through a variety of challenges including depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, stress management, and suicidal ideations/behaviors. I believe my clients are the experts on their own lives and my role is to help support, guide, and empower my clients to make positive changes and accomplish their goals. I focus on creating a safe and nonjudgmental space in which my clients can feel comfortable speaking about their personal experiences and challenges.

Hello and welcome to my unique practice, A Place Within. Although trained in traditional talk therapy, I also focus on creative therapies that integrate the mind, body, and spirit. These include sandplay therapy for adults and children, play therapy for children, dream work, art, and hypnotherapy. Rather than staying in the analytical areas of the brain, as talk therapy traditionally functions, these creative approaches integrate the whole brain into treatment.

My therapeutic philosophy incorporates Adlerian ideals, which focus on acceptance of our humanity and encouragement of the greatest potential within ourselves. Using empathy and validation, I will listen to your life story to better understand your worldview and unique experiences that led you to counseling. I also use Rogerian theory to prioritize unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and empathy to build a therapeutic relationship. This approach helps foster a safe space to make changes you want to address towards a life that is more congruent with values and goals.

My name is Dr. Amr Kireem, a clinical psychologist and licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois. I have been working with clients since 2009 who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, OCD, PTSD/trauma, relationship issues, codependency, life transitions, and other symptoms. Applying evidence-based approaches, changing faulty assumptions, and finding HOPE are the keys to a successful outcome, while keeping the individual's culture and ethnicity in mind.

I strive to walk alongside clients on their personal and unique journey of life, supporting each individual person while providing strategies, education, and insight into ongoing stressors. My approach to therapy focuses on meeting clients where they are at and helping them reach their self-determined goals. I help clients define their strengths while providing proven strategies to build resilience and strengthen everyday coping. My specialties include anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD/executive functioning, academic difficulties, interpersonal and relationship issues, self-esteem, and sleep troubles.

I strive to find solutions that are "Skills Over Pills" when starting therapy. I am passionate about helping teens and adults that are struggling to better themselves. It can be scary to feel that you are “behind others” in life, but I can help you refocus on the positive aspects of yourself and what you are truly capable of. I specialize in LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, life changes, ADHD, and eating disorders. I have worked with individuals, groups, and in hospital settings. I also taught parenting classes and have experience with career counseling. All of my experience is focused on guiding others along their journey.

Change (no matter what it is) challenges your perceptions, feeling, memories, habits, and relationships. It starts out hard and messy, but it is growth. You are becoming a better parent, friend, partner, worker. But, you may not yet have much confidence in the decisions you're making. You want someone to listen carefully and to not question your sanity, in a non-judgmental, compassionate and insightful way. You know self questioning is normal, but you also know that talking it over with someone who has your best interests at heart will help you to feel better and more confident about your choices.
