Codependency Therapists in Rochelle, IL

Hi, I am Lisa Allison- a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Educational Specialist in School Psychology. I have over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Therapist. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a master's in social work and National Louis in Chicago with an Ed.S in School Psychology. I am board-certified in Ohio, Illinois, and Nevada. I access several different approaches to treatment based on what works best for each individual. Creating a therapeutic relationship and establishing trust are the foundation for effective therapy.

My name is Angela Johnson, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of clinical experience working with young adults and the LGBTQ+ community with Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Trauma, PTSD, and Panic Attacks. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Couples Therapy, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Focused during my treatments with clients. I believe it is also my job to help clients learn about themselves and determine what is important and what is not.

Hello there! My name is Rachael. As a therapist, my approach is very warm, open-minded, and down-to-earth, and I love to use humor and personal vulnerability wherever possible. From my own personal mental health journey and experiences as a client, I know firsthand just how intimidating and transformative therapy can be all at the same time, so I am very passionate about making the process feel as normal, safe, and nonjudgmental as possible. My goal as a therapist is to help you gain insight into the problems you are facing and develop personalized tools and techniques for you to feel more in control and empowered in your own life.

You are valuable just as you are, and there's nothing broken about you. Asking for professional help, like you're doing right now, is a testament to your strength and commitment to growth. I have experience helping people in a variety of different areas, but am especially passionate about supporting those with anxiety, depression, shame, grief, self-esteem, codependency, perfectionism, adult caregivers, medical personnel, and evangelical deconstruction. Together, we will create a safe place that's designed for you.

I am honored to accompany people on the very personal journey of growth & healing. Life is not easy; it takes courage to share your vulnerabilities in order to unpack hurt, identify inner strengths, and create solutions towards change. My first step is to truly understand your experiences, your perspective on the world, and the unique intersecting identities you bring into the therapeutic space so that I may offer insights or strategies specific to your situation & personality. I frequently treat self-esteem, shame, identity or relationship concerns, women's issues, codependency, and those with a history of abuse or family violence.

"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety" (Abraham Maslow). Deciding to make changes in one's life takes courage. For many of us life can be difficult. Whether it's addiction, depression, relationship issues or just the fears and insecurities of life, we all have challenges we must face. Therapy is meant to be a safe place where we are able to find courage to walk through these challenges and to find real hope with practical help.

Finding the right therapist is essential in one's journey toward overcoming obstacles. I believe counseling is a collaborative and creative process where we join together to establish the change you desire. I utilize a direct, honest, and genuine communication style in our relationship. My approach combines psychotherapy and the use of experiential therapy as a means of building communication, trust, and decision-making through individual and family treatment. My treatment also involves the partnership of animal assisted therapy with my Labrador Retriever.

Fradine is truly passionate about helping individuals, couples and families to get to a better place in their lives. She applies the most effective counseling techniques offered through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as others that bring evidenced based results. Realizing that every person, couple or family is unique and requires a custom treatment plan, she will incorporate what is best for your specific situation. Fradine also utilizes techniques from Person Centered Therapy, Parts Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Solution Focused and Emotionally Focused Therapy, when appropriate with her patients.

I am passionate about helping adult individuals and couples build connection, and more satisfying, healthy relationships, through addressing sex and intimacy issues; addiction, codependency, and the impacts of trauma. Together, we may untangle patterns of intimacy avoidance, attachment wounds, betrayal trauma, parentification, and emotional or covert incest. I believe healing occurs within relationship through collaboration, curiosity, and respect. I support this value in practice by working through a trauma-informed, multicultural lens, with a sex-positive/kink-affirming approach to intimacy, relationship, and sexual wellness.

I provide a gentle, encouraging environment to help clients work on relationship challenges & infidelity, eating disorders & obesity, as well as career & life transitions. I guide individuals through the dating process into healthy relationships. I have specialized clinical experience in helping people recover from addictions of all kinds (food, alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, codependency).

Have you ever felt “stuck” in your life and not sure how to move forward to make positive changes? I strongly believe that when we cannot make changes to our situation, we need to make changes to our thinking and perception, which requires exploration and support. When we can make changes to our situation, it can be risky and scary and best done with plenty of planning and validation. I am passionate about helping people make these “shifts” in perception and situation.

I am a Licensed Social Worker, a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and a Sex Therapist. My clinical experience is focused on working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families on issues including addiction, alcoholism, substance abuse, relationship/marital conflicts, codependency, divorce, infidelity, PTSD, childhood trauma, emotional abuse, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, life transition, LGBTQ+ issues, sexual health concerns, non-monogamy/polyamory, kink/BDSM, and intimacy injuries.

Do you feel stuck or unhappy with yourself or with someone in your life? And it just feels like you haven't been on the same page with them? Maybe you’re struggling with people-pleasing with a partner, friend, or family member. Or you’re struggling to trust again after betrayal or infidelity by a past or current partner. I can help you make sense of your feelings, improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and embrace your strengths. I work with individuals to strengthen self esteem and self love, resolve conflicts in relationships with self and others, and improve their health and wellness.

Are you looking for a safe place where you can access and explore your emotions without shame or judgment? Building relationships is crucial to my approach, which means finding your unique needs within your therapy experience. Clients can gain support addressing many life stressors, overcome depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, low self-esteem, and improve self-confidence.
