I offer you the opportunity to focus on your psychological health and well-being in a professional, confidential setting. Providing unique therapeutic approaches to living a more fulfilling life, I bring a warm, relational style to my work with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families who are facing interpersonal, behavioral and emotional challenges. Specializing in emotional and relational wellness, I work with a broad range of issues, including anxiety, depression, interpersonal communication, anger management, women's issues, sexuality, and family dynamics. In addition to traditional counseling, we may use techniques such as mindfulness meditation, narrative therapy, and creative/play therapy.

Hi my name is Fred Wackenhut. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Illinois. I graduated from Judson University with my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling and my bachelor's degree in psychology. I like to provide a safe and therapeutic atmosphere. I strive to gain an understanding of your concerns and goals, especially the ones that you want to share with me.

My goal is to help individuals overcome obstacles and to develop the skills needed to improve their overall well-being. I provide my clients with a warm and non-judgmental space to be truly heard so that they can communicate their authentic thoughts and feelings in a safe place. I use a person-centered and collaborative approach allowing clients the opportunity to identify and clarify their own goals while providing a supportive environment for them.

Life presents us with many challenges - you do not have to struggle through it alone. Pregnancy, postpartum, work/life balance and professional boundaries are my particular areas of specialty. Therapy offers an opportunity to address painful feelings, stressful events and difficult relationships in a warm, supportive way. Together, we will explore the challenges you have been facing and find the path forward that creates the changes you are looking for.

I am a psychotherapist experienced in working with adolescents and adults on a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I specialize in helping people make sense of their challenges and make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives. With warmth and empathy, I seek to create a collaborative space where clients feel safe, supported, and free to explore what matters most to them. Each treatment is unique, but common gains include relief from emotional distress, greater self-understanding, enhanced relationships, and fuller personal and professional creativity.

My first question to any new client is, "How will you know when therapy is over?" This helps us both to define the goals of therapy. Together, we'll focus on solutions to problems, and build on the strengths already there.

I have experience in family law, especially regarding reunification therapy and supervised/therapeutic visitation. Therapy is not just for crisis situations, but for helping to create more stability in life.

During these challenging times, we can often feel overwhelmed by the unknown. Your life may not be going in the direction you planned, your relationships may feel more strained, and you may even wonder how you’ll make it through the next day. It may be time to take care of yourself or your loved one by working with a therapist to help you find new ways to navigate these challenges and thrive.

My approach as a counselor is to provide a safe environment to each client where I can empower, encourage, and support all people on their journey. My approach is one that is client-focused, evidenced based, and trauma informed; while allowing individuals to grow, have their needs met, and achieve their goals. I incorporate a multitude of interventions and techniques into my treatment depending on the individual needs and circumstances.

If you're feeling stuck, angry, anxious or sad, you're in the right place. I'm passionate about helping my clients bring their lives into focus so that they can sort out what's hurting them, what's holding them back, and how best to move forward.

Are you feeling stuck in mental and emotional patterns that you can't seem to change or get out of? If so I can help, I have a passion for working with my clients to get at the root of their challenges so they can begin to shift them and move forward towards a more fulfilling and satisfying life. We can't change what we aren't aware of and as a psychodynamic psychotherapist, part of my expertise is guiding you and supporting you in this process of self-awareness. In addition to talk therapy, I offer a holistic approach which can include mindfulness, dreamwork, and body orientated psychotherapy.

I offer a non-judgmental, practical approach to therapy, focused on your personal growth. Life is about transition and change is inevitable. Despite people's desire to adjust and grow, they often find themselves stuck, fighting resistance to change. Clients who find themselves repeating the same patterns of experience and facing the same challenges in their thoughts and relationships can often find hope and help through the process of therapy. My interactive and interpersonal approach can help break through the conflict with yourself so that you can participate more fully in life and discover the possibilities within you.

Anxiety, depression and relationship problems are the most frequent complaints of clients seeking counseling. Learning skills to manage symptoms such as panic and anger is where therapy begins. People often have difficult relationships and a strategy for managing them can be very helpful. I respect the values and beliefs of my clients as I help them find solutions to life problems and work toward lasting happiness and stability. My training includes CBT, experiential and psychodynamic therapy, creativity coaching and hypnotherapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you have trouble staying focused, concentrating, functioning normally? Has this pandemic left you feeling easily triggered into fear? Most people that seek out my expertise do because they're either in crisis or struggling, and within a few sessions, they are feeling more in control, more peaceful, and more aware of their capabilities to manage their lives and relationships better.

My passion is helping people with DEPRESSION. I want my patients to feel empowered because their symptoms leave them feeling powerless. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Depression is treatable, and with TMS therapy along with medication management, we have even more options for patients who struggle.

I approach therapy by first gaining a thorough understanding of where each client is currently functioning and tailoring a plan to meet their unique needs and goals. It is very important to me to create a non-judgmental therapeutic environment in which my client can feel supported, validated, and nurtured. Though I tend to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I personalize my therapeutic approach based on my client’s existing strengths, age, preferences, and goals to ensure that positive change is effective and lasting.
