Male Therapists in Warrenville, IL

Men's lives are undergoing a remarkable evolution. Only a generation ago to become a strong man generally meant learning to avoid being tripped up or held back by what you felt. Now men are encouraged and even expected to "know themselves" and be more emotionally present in their marriages and other important relationships. The advantages of greater emotional self-awareness include: (1) greater depth of connection with your spouse, children and close male friends, (2) better access to your own emotional strengths including your stress tolerance and resilience, and (3) an enhanced sense of purpose and personal meaning.

My ideal client is any adolescent, young adult, or couple that is willing to seek assistance, grow, and develop new strategies to address concerns they may be having with depression, anxiety, communication, addictions, or other adjustment they are struggling with that they need assistance. In working with clients it is important that a relationship is established where the client feels comfortable, safe, and secure. After a relationship is formed it is my goal to help guide the client/couple/family in developing strategies by challenging them using different therapeutic modalities that work best with their identified goals.

For parents and students alike, adolescence can be a turbulent time. Watching our children struggle can be stressful. It takes a lot of patience, understanding and adjusting to meet the needs of kids in this age group. It's not uncommon for parents to feel that they are engaging in one power struggle after the next...or perhaps feeling a sense of guilt, frustration or helplessness, as they start to question the effectiveness of their parenting and/or the overall emotional well-being of their son or daughter.

My focus as a licensed clinical health psychologist and clinical mind/body practitioner is to provide my clients with the awareness, knowledge, skills, tools and support that they need to cope more constructively with stress, experience less anxiety from fears and phobias, feel less pain, and feel more in control. Over the years, I have worked with individuals who have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Functional Constipation, Tension Headaches, Recurrent Abdominal Pain, and Phobias. I also work with individuals who are preparing for surgery who require additional guidance to lessen the anxiety associated with surgery and dental procedures.

However, we can create a safe environment which could ease this difficulty greatly. I utilize evidence-based interventions to help you learn to manage the challenges that life places in front of you and help you realize the strength inside of you to engage those challenges in a healthy manner.

The relief you seek is inside of you…let’s find it and make it stronger than the problem! You may be fed up with using/abusing substances to cope with other issues (anxiety, depression, post-trauma, etc), feeling a happier life will always be out of your reach or tired of looking in the mirror and seeing shame, guilt, or discontent. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. You’re ready to relieve yourself of the control substances seem to have over you . You’re ready to regain the confidence in yourself you once had. Most of all, you’re ready to flourish in life rather than just live (survive).
