Therapists in Hinsdale, IL

Hi! My name is Manasa and I am a clinical psychologist, practicing in Illinois. I am glad you found my profile! I know starting therapy is a big step, and not always an easy one. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you and help you navigate through life situations that are leading you to seek out therapy, in a warm, safe, confidential space. I want to help you understand what is maintaining your undesired thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and find ways to work through them in a way that allows you to live the life you are striving for.

Working from a strengths-based, collaborative approach to counseling, I use a variety of techniques in assisting clients find solutions and reach their goals. My belief is that clients very often have the answers they are seeking already within themselves. Sorting through their hopes, fears, beliefs etc. is useful in identifying what may be preventing them from recognizing those answers and keeping them stuck.

Loss is an underlying reason many of my clients seek counseling. Some have lost a part of who they were before overwhelming life events occurred. Some are helping professionals who give so much in their work or life they are experiencing traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, burnout, or vicarious trauma. Some are experiencing the loss of a family structure they were familiar with. Others have experienced an unexpected traumatic loss of a loved one to suicide, homicide, or sudden death.

Taking the leap into therapy can be scary, and finding a therapist that fits your needs can be overwhelming. I am here to make that process a little bit easier and more comfortable. My goal as a therapist is to meet each person where they are on their journey, by recognizing and understanding their reasons for coming to therapy. Whether it be difficulties with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, negative body image, eating disorders, or trauma, I’m here to help support you as you navigate these concerns. I want for you to leave therapy with the growth and tools that you are looking for.

I understand that finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming process. Choosing a complete stranger to share in your journey of health and wellbeing can be a challenge. Making the process comfortable from the beginning is one of my top priorities. You can expect a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment as a necessary foundation for change. I believe in tailoring the experience for each individual/couple, drawing upon multiple approaches for lasting results. For a more in-depth description of my approach please feel free to visit my website.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish and English, I offer comprehensive support tailored to your unique needs. With experience in various settings, including clinics, hospitals, and community centers, I bring a diverse skill set to our sessions. Whether you're navigating personal challenges, experiencing a crisis, or need assistance managing multiple life aspects, my approach is eclectic and holistic. I integrate cultural sensitivity and practical strategies to empower and support you on your path to well-being.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, emerging adults, and parents who need help addressing anxiety, mood disorders, perfectionism, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. As a former high school teacher and athletic coach, I understand the complex roles and pressure that my clients must navigate in order to succeed. I have parent-coaching experience. I believe that a strong relationship and authentic connection is the key to a successful therapeutic process. Together with my clients, I create a safe, non-judgmental space that is rooted in honesty, transparency, mutual respect, and trust.

It’s easy to neglect caring for the things we cannot see. You’re exhausted from always trying to work harder and get more done in a shorter amount of time. You set really high expectations for yourself and feel frustrated when you aren’t able to meet them. People often use words like perfectionist or overachiever to describe you. Sometimes that feels rewarding, and maybe sometimes you resent it. There’s a part of you that wonders if this pace is sustainable. I want you to know that you don’t have to stay here. And you don’t have to be alone in this.

I'm the Chief Medical Officer at Stella Center. For over fifteen years, my goal has been to help people experiencing mental health challenges find relief. As an anesthesiologist, I discovered the use of stellate ganglion block (SGB) for treating PTSD, eventually perfecting the protocol into the dual sympathetic reset (DSR), an advanced stellate ganglion block (SGB). Symptoms we treat include disrupted sleep, panic attacks, irritability, hypervigilance, difficulties concentrating, depression, sexual dysfunction, and more.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, faces difficulties that seem impossible to overcome. I believe that these struggles can be an opportunity for growth and change.

While it may be difficult for you to seek help for yourself or your family, my goal is to work together in a supportive and encouraging way to meet your needs.  With over 20 years of professional experience, and as a former classroom teacher and school counselor I have developed my practice and included therapists to focus and specialize in working with school-aged children and adolescents to overcome challenges while providing support and psycho-education for the entire family. We also specialize in women's counseling and provide counseling and therapy to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples, and women.

My goals for my clients in therapy are to help them to develop a kind mind to enable them to achieve successes in the areas of Eating Disorder, Body Image, Depression, Anxiety, Self-Injury, Life Transitions, and Crisis Management. Together we build hope, health, and healing through cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness training, coaching, and self-esteem building. The focus is on the integration of the mind and body connection to create wholeness and wellness.

When it becomes difficult to cope, therapy can provide a new path forward. Having a nonjudgmental space to explore, validate, and experience your feelings in a healthy way can help you manage anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. I would like to provide that space for you to process your emotions, develop new methods of coping, identify and clarify your goals and values.
