"Whether you're a man trying to pick up the pieces of your life and move forward or a couple trying to hold the relationship together because of built-up resentments and hurt, know that you're not alone. We all have wounds that hold us back from feeling whole and being close to the ones we love. I get it. This is hard. Life has a way of knocking us around so much that you may have wondered when your relationships will feel meaningful and enjoyable again. I’ve spent my career helping men and couples through tough times in their lives."

""I understand what you're saying." How many times have you talked to someone and truly felt accepted and understood by them? My goal as a therapist is to make sure you feel heard. I know the importance of needing to be acknowledged during life's most difficult times. I have made it my mission to help people take steps forward when life wants to push them back."

"It's hard to watch your child struggle. Wanting to help, but feeling lost or as if your parental help is unwanted leaves you at an impasse. This is where I bridge the gap. It is my priority to work closely with parents and their child or teen so that together, we can create a holistic approach that is in your child's and family's best interest."

"Whether you're struggling with anxiety/depression, dealing with a painful loss, looking to understand the impact of a trauma, making a life transition, or hoping to develop a stronger sense of self, my goal is to offer the tools you need to feel safe, whole, and healthy. Therapy is an individual experience; I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and believe in the importance of connecting in an open, relaxed manner. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a part of my client's lives as they navigate their struggles and celebrate their triumphs."

"We are all faced with challenges in our lives and we need help managing life’s stressors. These stressors often lead us to behave in a way that may cause even more difficulty. If you are having trouble with depression, anxiety,or relationship issues then you are not alone."

"Walking through the doors is the first and most important step in one’s journey of therapy. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families through difficult times and supporting them through those times. I know that each client is their own person, so I meet each client where they are emotionally and mentally, modifying my treatment approach to best aid each client in achieving their goals. Therapeutic methods I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and listening to the mind-body connection. "

"I work primarily with adult individuals and couples who seek greater depth in their lives or relationships. In practice since 1987, I have considerable experience in a range of concerns: midlife and professional challenges; illness, loss, and grief; retirement; relationships and sexuality; LGBT concerns; dreams -- and more. My practice is diverse in many ways but the common denominator is desire for growth and change, and a willingness to work together to achieve it.

"Welcome to my profile. Finding the "RIGHT" therapist can feel like a real challenge for most people. I am a Holistic Psychotherapist in private practice since 1986. My healing approach is dependent on the needs of each individual client. The areas of special interest to me are spirituality, relationship and self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, addictions and co-dependency, loss and grief, trauma, dissociation, (not necessarily in that order). I also offer group therapy, and have facilitated groups dealing with the aging process, self esteem/relationship issues, co-dependency, spirituality, grief/loss, and depression."

"Are you longing for change or wondering if there is more to life than what you are currently experiencing? I invite you into a deeper awareness of your own journey so you can live in healthy, loving relationships and experience personal growth. This journey may take hard work, sincere grief, and hopefully many joyful belly laughs; until you can create a life that you are the author of. Ultimately, I believe you will find me safe, warm, authentic, and profoundly compassionate."

"At The Marriage Clinic of DuPage we have been saving and strengthening marriages for over 25 years. We understand how hard it is for partners to feel alone in a relationship that was once so close, or to feel they are always letting their partner down or not good enough no matter what they do. We also know how difficult it is for couples who feel they constantly fight with each other, sometimes over seemingly small things or having the same fights over and over."

"I love helping people on their journey towards wholeness and healing. I believe this can best be done within the context of a supportive and empathic relationship where the individual feels deeply validated and heard. I believe in empowering people to find their voice and heal places of pain that have been holding them back. I see great strengths in every person who comes into my counseling office, even when they cannot. Through the process of counseling, I help individuals recognize their unique strengths and mobilize those strengths to create a life of meaning."

"Brian has been in the addiction/mental health field since 1993. He has been described as practical, realistic, and down-to-earth therapist who is naturally inquisitive and goal oriented. He brings his warm and light hearted sense of humor to the therapy process, as he has learned that the best way to lead a person toward wellbeing and happiness is to make the psychotherapy process relaxed, enjoyable and non-judgmental. But when necessary, Brian has a serious side, as addictions are for many, can be a life or death problem."

"I'm excited to say that I recently added EMDR to my therapist toolbox! In addition to the "classic" CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing, I decided that my practice with clients needed an upgrade and EMDR is an experience I am pleased to offer my clients that struggle with trauma, addictions or are just feeling "stuck" with traditional talk therapy. EMDR is a method of therapy that strengthens my desire to meet clients where they are at and work on the issues my client wants to address."

"Are you experiencing a setback or have you had one in the past? Has your child's behavior changed or development regressed? I work with clients that are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or have concerns centered around a child. I believe trauma and life stressors can take a toll on mental and physical health. I help clients uncover inner resources and move beyond past incidents so they do not rule the future. I work with children, adolescents, adults and families."

"I know that life situations can feel overwhelming, and that asking for help isn't always easy, so I have tremendous respect for the courage and strength it takes to seek professional guidance. Working from the belief that change is always possible, I help my clients identify their strengths, what's getting in the way of making changes in their life, and the most effective ways to achieve their goals. My style of counseling is supportive and collaborative, with an emphasis on respect, encouragement, and hope."

"People seek out counseling at various different times in life for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, just having a counselor to work with for a while can make it easier to navigate life's journeys and issues vs going it alone. Asking for help is taking good care of yourself... and we all need help sometimes. Don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to listening and helping. "

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Ordained Minister of the United Church of Christ. I am also certified as a Sexual Addictions Therapist and Therapist Supervisor through the International Institute for Trauma and Addictions Professionals."

"I believe that life is a journey, full of joys and disappointments, successes and setbacks. While the extent and nature of my interventions may vary, I strongly believe that all people possess the personal strength and the means to improve their own lives if provided with the necessary guidance and support."

"In a word, my approach to therapy is relational. I am at my best when I am centered, curious and genuinely engaged in my client's experience... exploring, nuancing and understanding their unique perspective and the struggles they are facing. I believe in the importance of finding the right "fit" between client and therapist and it is for that reason that I strive to be authentic and fully engaged in every session. My training, areas of specialization and personal style are well suited for those who might be seeking to go deeper in their understanding of themselves and their relationships."
