"I feel privileged to be a psychologist and my therapeutic style reflects this appreciation. Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I'm aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of the therapeutic relationship and by exploring patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling existence. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I incorporate various therapeutic approaches and interventions, which speaks to our unique needs."

"The decision to take a step toward healing can be difficult for many reasons. However, this decision is also full of courage. It can be hard to find total fulfillment in relationships. It can be hard to feel good about yourself when there is also pain. No matter what, I am committed to creating a partnership of healing, which begins with a deeper understanding of the concerns that brought you here. Together, we will examine the areas of your life that are holding these wounds, either from the past or the present. This is the path to achieving more peace."

"There is hope and healing; even though it might not feel like it. I have experience working with children, teens, and young adults dealing with everything from anxiety and relationship issues to trauma and sexual abuse. It would be a privilege to work with you or your child towards healing, tailoring the counseling process to best fit your needs."

"I try to approach therapy with directness and a sense of humor. I have been described by clients as "down-to-earth" and "non-therapist-y." My experience includes working with clients in private practice who are motivated for therapy, as well as incarcerated individuals who are reluctant to participate. Both populations have taught me about the human condition - no one is immune to suffering and everyone has struggles, joys, and triumphs. We are all resilient and we are all deserving of happiness. My goal as a therapist is to help clients honor experiences and create the life they value."

"Today's economy and pace of work can place enormous stressors on our psyches and personal releationships. I see clients who are experiencing work-related anxiety or depression, or who may not know how to proceed with a significant partner or intimate relationship. My style tends to be engaged -- supportive yet direct. I work primarily with adults who are in the midst of challenging life transitions and are open to getting professional help.

"I specialize in treating the issues that arise from unresolved trauma or difficult life experiences. My goal is to support and empower my clients by using an integrative and collaborative stance, incorporating my background in psychodynamic psychotherapy with body-centered and mindfulness-based techniques. It is my hope that by equipping my clients with the skills to develop their own self-awareness, self-compassion, clarity, and peace, they can go on to experience more meaningful and fulfilling lives."

"I strongly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy, and I strive to employ warmth, curiosity, authenticity, and a sense of humor in my work with clients. I received my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from The Family Institute at Northwestern University. I have experience treating a variety of issues, including: anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and life transitions."

"I have been providing individual and group psychotherapy since 2007. Since completing a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology, I have also completed post-graduate programs at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. I consider myself to offer a dynamic approach to therapy that integrates multiple theories and techniques in order to provide the most appropriate support to those who work with me."

"If you are looking for healing, restoration and an opportunity to find your voice therapy may be for you. I work with those who may feel alone, wondering if they matter, or have gone unseen. Maybe you struggle with a positive view of oneself. Or maybe you are exploring questions of identity: “Who am I?,” “What does the world say about me?” Maybe you ascribe to spiritual beliefs, and are wondering how to integrate them with your current feelings. I enjoy helping woman navigate issues. I support those in the helping profession who are experiencing burnout and leaders who want to sharpen their skills. I offer LPC supervision. "

"Are you going through a difficult time? Do you need to process through the challenges you are facing? Life is filled with ups and downs. And sometimes there can be many more downs.

Alison is the founder of Evolve Counseling & Wellness, a psychotherapy practice in Chicago's Loop. To learn more visit www.evolvecounseling.com or call 312.340.9511."

"Our thoughts have a direct impact on our emotions and behaviors. Mindfulness brings awareness to present moment thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist who specializes in working with adolescents, emerging adults (18-29), and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, poor body-image, low self-esteem, stress, struggles with work/life balance, and life transitions. My practice is informed by Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), the Gottman Method and strength-based processes, which help my clients develop a stronger connection to themselves and ultimately deeper feelings of connectedness to the world around them."

"Life is complex. Your experience can range from the highest highs to the lowest lows, or settle in between. One day, everything can change at the drop of a hat. Or, you realize that things have been shifting slowly for a long time. Workplace environments can be frustrating, lifestyle changes are frightening or uncomfortable. Relationships, even the best ones, can be complicated and difficult to manage. The loss of a loved one can be incredibly painful. Whatever it is -- even if you can’t put your finger on it -- I’m here to help."

"I'm Sarah, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent the last eight years helping individuals navigate challenging life events and mental health issues. I work with people through life transitions, challenges, relationship issues, and periods of stagnation. I have specific expertise in mood disorders and the pregnancy and postpartum period. I have a warm, encouraging, strength-based approach to therapy."

"My work as a Jungian Analyst emphasizes depth work with the symbolic dimensions of a person's individual life experiences through dreams, art and Jung's distinctive method of active imagination that allows the individual to enter into a constructive relationship with the unconscious. I find that many issues that bring people to therapy or analysis originate in an inability to find meaning in their everyday life, and that working within these "imaginal spaces" can contribute to a deeper understanding of the course one's life has taken and will take in the future."

"I believe that relationships can be healing: this, mainly, is why I became a mental health professional in the first place. As a practitioner who uses a variety of theories in my work, my strongest focus is on relational therapy. I work together with the client to create a warm, supportive and secure relationship in which to work out traumatic experiences, painful emotions and difficult relationships."

"If you're struggling with painful thoughts and feelings or a challenging life event, it is important that you feel understood and supported. It is crucial to find a safe place to work on these issues where you will not be judged. I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 6+ years experience assisting people suffering from anxiety, depression, postpartum adjustment, chronic stress, dysfunctional environments, grief and loss. Though at times it is important to focus on historical life events, my approach consists of skill-building and learning coping skills to help in the present."

"People come to therapy because of depression, anxiety, conflict, or trauma. Because of a broken relationship. Because life is devoid of joy, or stressful and overwhelming. Or because something has happened -- a death, loss of a job, a harrowing experience -- upsetting the way they see themselves, their relationships, even the world around them. To paraphrase Lao Tzu, people come to therapy because they recognize that if they don't change direction, they will end up where they are going. My job is to help them change their direction."

"I greet every client with the belief that we are born into this world as unique and healthy human beings. I believe that it is life's stress, individual experiences, and temperaments that move us off our centers and cause depression, anxiety, and dysfunctional behavior."

"The decision to begin therapy can be a rather difficult one that many people initially struggle with, but, once a commitment is made, it can be very rewarding. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an intrinsic part of the process and, as such, collaboration between the client and the therapist is essential. My clinical interests include working with individuals with adjustment issues, grief and loss, issues related to self-esteem, depression, anxiety, identity development, trauma and resilience, and issues related to attachment."

"Are you tired of feeling tired? Are you lacking motivation, desire, drive? Do you have moments where you feel empty inside, craving something new but not knowing what would satisfy you? Perhaps you struggle with loneliness, anger, anxiety and/or depression? Or, you wake up each morning with a familiar dread of the upcoming day. These are all common problems individuals bring to me. These problems require a unique approach consisting of insight, curiosity and dedication that I incorporate into my treatment."
