Personality Disorders Therapists in Hazel Crest, IL

Our perspective is that everyone's life has a story, and therapy is a way to identify and change that story to fit with your goals and values. Seeking therapy can be difficult, and we enjoy supporting people in finding their narrative and re-writing it the way they desire to fit their needs. As strength-based and client-centered therapists, we believe that meeting people where they are enables them to feel at ease and supported in the process. Helping others identify their innate strengths and using them is a large part of my philosophy. We are an anti racist practice and pride ourselves on being able to serve BIPOC populations.

It is my belief that scheduling a session with a counselor takes courage. I am aware that you are on a journey that has lead you to seeking help from me. I am sensitive to your past, accepting of your present and hopeful about your future. The most important aspect of the treatment process is the relationship between client and counselor. This is why I consider my clients as the expert on what challenges they are facing. I encourage my clients to take the lead and teach me about how the issues are impacting them.

The journey from adolescence to adulthood can be complicated. Knowing this, I finds peace in walking side by side with my clients, and helping them develop coping tools they will need for their transformational journey. I truly have a passion for helping teens & young adults navigate the challenges and transitions that come with growing into their true and fullest self. I believe life becomes a gift when we are able to recognize and unconditionally accept ourselves as the beautifully unique individuals we are.

Hi there! Thanks for dropping by my profile. My name is Caitlin, and I am a trained therapist who specializes in helping you overcome the difficult times you are more than likely facing as you are on your search for help. My focus is to support you through these stressors while together we build the skills the necessary for you to get back on track. If you are having struggles with the following: navigating harmful/abusive relationships, saying "no" to others, prioritizing yourself, managing emotional pain, handling relational stressors, anxiety, depression, etc., then you are in the right place!

My approach to life is eclectic. We can only control the NOW. We can plan for the future and learn to deal with the past. I help my clients (teens, parents (girlmomhere), adults & couples) learn to accept/like or love their current life. No one said life would be easy, but as long as we are breathing, we can learn how to make the best of it. I have an art background, so I use horticultural therapy (plants) and art projects with clients. I also educate clients on fitness and nutrition. I am a problem solver, so we will figure things out together. What, when, why and how?! We can dig into the past, work on now or plan for the future.

We at Lotus Counseling Services understand that each and every client that enters into services does so with the inherent capability of leading a fulfilling, joy-filled life. However, at times, the tools to bring this ultimate life worth living about can be blocked due to emotional, cognitive, and situational factors. Our ultimate goal is to walk the journey of self-discovery and recovery with you; helping you to remove the obstacles to feelings of peace, joy, and love for self and others. We specialize in working with individuals struggling with emotional, social, and behavioral difficulties that impact their daily lives.

The decision to begin a therapeutic journey can be daunting yet richly rewarding. I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive space to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences and personal dynamics to promote a more balanced and fulfilling life. I support my clients in their goals by utilizing a mindful, relational and reflective approach. I integrate neuroscience and somatic based practices with equine facilitated and eco-therapy (ie.. horses and nature). I am committed to a therapeutic process that fosters self-compassion, creativity, and resiliency, while valuing diversity and authenticity.

So many times we pre-judge situations based on past traumas or conditioning. Entering an intimate space with yourself is no easy task. But with the help of someone you trust, it makes the journey easier to embrace. It is my belief that my job as a therapist is to help my clients connect the dots within their lives in order to enhance their overall mental health. This is done by unpacking, exploring and examining roadblocks from our past that are preventing us from being present in the here & now. This type of awareness helps to foster continual growth & grants access to understanding the story behind our behaviors.

I believe that everyone has the right and the ability to achieve an engaged, balanced, satisfying life. I enjoy working with clients of all ages. In my work I am continuously impressed by my clients’ ability to grow and change, and by their courage, creativity, strength, and capacity for love and connection. I encourage you to take the first step today to restore the balance and health in yourself, your child, your family, and your relationships.
