Gambling Therapists in Glen Ellyn, IL

Healing takes courage, and I believe that we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it. This is a stance I take when working with clients who have trauma, addiction, gambling, or other mental health struggles. I work with teens and adults, who are seeking a supportive and understanding environment where they can be authentic and vulnerable. Their goals include overcoming past traumas, breaking free from addictive behaviors, managing codependent tendencies, and addressing unresolved issues. My hope and goal is to help clients thrive and find peace in their lives.

Healing happens in relationships. I value compassion, empathy and trust. My office is a safe and nonjudgmental space. My goal is to empower you as you walk through the difficult times in your life. There is no time like the present to begin or renew the journey.

When life is challenging it can be hard to know what to do or where to turn to. You feel worried, angry, or sad. You don't think you're "good enough." It's hard to get things done. You can't let loose and fully enjoy life. You might be struggling with an addiction. You aren't where you thought you'd be at this point in time and you know you’re capable of so much more. You want fulfillment, success, fun, money, and love. I can help. I am a collaborative, caring therapist. Together we will identify your needs and learn to take action to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals to make your life happy, comfortable, and meaningful.

CONNECTING. I try to build a connection with people that helps develop understanding, support, & solutions. I strive to give clients the combination of both caring & competence.

If you are feeling confused or frustrated, helpless, angry or isolated, schedule a time to talk with me about strategies that will empower you to work toward identified goals and bring balance back into your life. With certified professionalism, I will attentively listen to your specific situation and goals, and intelligently advise you along a path to an improved quality of life. Phone or FaceTime sessions available.

These are difficult times for all of us, each in our own way. At times we feel anxious, overwhelmed—and alone. We’re upset about our thoughts and how we act. Yet it seems hard to reach out for help. Connecting with a caring and wise therapist, however, can be of great benefit. At this point in your life, I extend my hand of assistance with all the experience and skills I have developed over the years. Seeking help is a smart thing to do. If you don't call me for a session, call someone. You are worth it. Most importantly, you CAN feel better. Cordially, Dr. Randall

Client-centered is always Kim's approach during a session. This allows a client to open up at their own pace. She takes time to build rapport with her clients, which creates a space for clients to process complex feelings and emotions. A few areas of specialization for Kim are substance abuse, anxiety, and family conflict.

We recognize how difficult it can be to seek help with mental health issues. Our goal is to meet you where you are in a supportive, encouraging way. We never use shame as a motivator. Instead we seek to provide a balance between giving you time and space to heal and challenging and encouraging you to move forward to a healthier place. We have a staff of over 40 therapists each with different specialties; we all possess the same single passion: to walk with our clients on the path of healing.

MY GOAL FOR HELPING YOU IS SIMPLE. I want to help you feel more in control and better about yourself, your relationships and your overall life. I see clients through teletherapy and in-person. I am confident that I can help you to find the solutions you want one step at a time. Counseling can be one of the best "investments" that you will ever make. If you have never been for counseling before or if you are dealing with some issues that feel overwhelming or even frightening, you can count on me to help you to feel more comfortable facing them.

Life’s challenges are undeniable. Yet, I firmly believe that we are not meant to confront them in isolation. I’ve encountered my own trials, moments when I grappled with uncertainty and emotional turmoil. Through these experiences, I’ve come to understand the significance of nurturing all facets of our being. My aim is to impart this understanding and the value of holistic self-care to those I work with.

Ask yourself these three questions... 1) Am I happy? 2) Am I doing what's best for me? 3) Am I in control of my life? I believe that everyone should have the potential to answer yes to those questions and lead a less stressful life. My approach as a counselor is to be encouraging, supportive and collaborate; and help individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, marital issues and job stress. I help people to create positive and lasting change in their lives and aid them in achieving their personal goals. Assessments can be conducted in as little as one office visit.
