Christian Therapists in Palatine, IL

To me, there is nothing more meaningful than walking alongside individuals on a therapeutic journey towards healing and fulfillment. At Therapeutic Life Counseling PC, I’m passionate about working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Also, I have a specialization in working with children who experience Selective Mutism.

I see clients from a wide array of backgrounds dealing with various issues that have taken a toll on their ability to cope with life’s challenges. My prior experiences have engaged concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, challenges regarding health and individuation within family systems, experiences of trauma, violence and abuse. I’ve been honored to sit with people who carry the uniquely isolating weight of being in relationships or in families where alcoholism is present.

Accepting NEW Clients: You gaze in the mirror and the person looking back at you is not person you expected to see. You have given up practically everything for everybody else. You keep saying yes to others, and you constantly say no to yourself and your own needs. You feel you can’t do it anymore. You cry for help, but nobody bothers to listen. You feel like even those you used to be closest to do not understand what you are going through. You fell down into a dark hole, and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to climb out of it. You are not exactly sure when it happened or how it happened, but you somehow lost yourself.

I look to provide the foundation to empower individuals to accomplish their mental health, wellness and career goals. We will work to accomplish this with strategies to overcome obstacles and personal challenges you are facing.

Healing is a circular & cyclical journey with many paths, choices, & discoveries. We meet you where you are today, acknowledge that you are ever-changing, ever evolving. We know how hard it is to ask for help…to embrace, hold, and make space for change…we know how challenging it is to have a dissolution of self, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. Together, we uncover & compost outdated & stifling beliefs, unrealistic expectations or goals, let go of worries & fears, discover self-sabotage, burrow through behaviors & deeply hidden feelings & emotions that keep us stuck, fearful, unable to step into empowered selves.

Hi, I'm LaTasha Unseld! My mission is to support and guide clients in overcoming personal struggles, help people heal from trauma, mange, and sort out their feelings, help them find a balance when things are not right in their lives, give them the skills needed to face challenges as they arise, and cope with life stressors, which can change their perspective of themselves, others, and the world they live in. I specialize in working with people of all ages, nationalities, and genders. I am an advocate for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, and I have years of experience helping victims work through their pain and trauma.

I have an open genuine heart willing to understand how to help you get back on track to meet your goals and develop consistent healthy life choices. In session, we will utilize an interactive and solution-focused approach aimed at creating a safe environment to identify those obstacles, without judgement, and to explore the core issues of the problem. My goal is to empower my clients to independently and constructively problem solve, create strategies to learn their potential, and to heal past mistakes for the future they desire.

Are you stuck? Do you try to make changes without success? Let me help you resolve those patterns.

According to my mother, my first word was "why." Why is the sky blue? Why can't I have a cookie for breakfast? Why are people hurting? This curiosity is integral to my work as a therapist, as I strive to understand my client's worldview and the problems they are facing. Whether you are reliving past trauma, plagued by worrisome thoughts, concerned about your relationship or substance use, or feeling generally dissatisfied in life, I will provide an empathic ear, support, and guidance to help you meet these challenges and make the life changes you desire.

Many people struggle with anxiety and depression as they cope with life's uncertainties. We are all redefining "normal." My training in CBT, EMDR, Strengths Centered, and Person Centered Therapy with men, women, children, elders, and caregivers is well rounded. People are dealing with trauma, abuse, employment issues, grief, mental illness, addiction, co-dependency, physical illness, parenting, divorce, retirement, and loss of identity. Everyone wants to know they have a "purpose." I specialize in helping clients with their journey. Most people want to feel safe, loved, understood, and appreciated. I can help with that.

I have been helping individuals and families for over 25 years, offering both individual and relationship counseling for help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and emotional, sexual and physical trauma. I incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Experiencing in treating anxiety, post-traumatic stress and complex trauma.

My ideal client is someone who is committed to growing. They recognize they are struggling, and need an unbiased and professional perspective to get unstuck. The issues I'm best suited to treat are life transitions, relational, anxiety and depression. I

You are uniquely made and your life has meaning ...we can at times lose sight of this however. Each of us has a history and life experiences which shape our thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors. We can come to a point in our journey where life gets heavy, where circumstances press down on us, and the person we were created to be gets eclipsed by life’s challenges. Increasing awareness about the way in which our unique life experiences have shaped our thinking, emotions, and behaviors as well as developing new skills to manage life’s challenges are important pieces in rediscovering our meaning and moving forward.

I have a passion for guiding people through various stages of life from the teenage years to the golden years. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate their way of living when emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational problems are too much to handle on their own. You do not have to work through these things on your own!

Why do relationships seem so hard? Are you feeling hopeless about your situation? The good news is - you don't have to face life's difficulties alone. Everyone struggles at times, and friends and family may not be of help. You need an objective, emotionally supportive therapist to help you look at what works and what doesn't. We won't change what is already working, instead we will identify and build on your existing strengths. Then use your strengths to modify behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, that get in your way. Collaboratively, we will design a treatment plan for you.
