ADHD Therapists in Near West Side, Chicago, IL

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a background working with both adolescent and adult populations in treatment settings. My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths based.

Chronic stress from work, relationship problems, and family conflicts can cause overwhelm, depression, and anxiety. I work with clients to understand the internal and external dynamics that create these feelings and help you take actionable steps to reduce stress and anxiety. Expressing emotions and working through problems with a professional outside of your partner, friends, and family circle can help you expand your understanding of yourself and what you can do to create a more balanced, healthy, and happy life. I provide the feedback you need to take greater control over your daily life and achieve the success you want.

I help women struggling with anxiety and ADHD gain confidence and identify ways to support their neurodiverse brains in a neurotypical society. People diagnosed with ADHD are likely to experience additional challenges with anxiety, depression, and disordered eating habits; this combination can make functioning day-to-day feel like a constant uphill battle.

Do you find it so difficult to focus that it interferes with your work, school, or relationships? Do you become easily distracted and have difficulties being productive? Is it hard to remain organized despite your best efforts? Inattention, impulsivity, and overactivity are three common problems associated with ADHD, which affects about 5% of people. It is much more serious than just having trouble concentrating. ADHD creates significant difficulties, presents barriers to success at work or school, and strains relationships between people with ADHD and those who care about them.

Are you looking for an encouraging therapist who will focus on solutions? Are you ready to make changes so that your problems will no longer have the upper hand? I'll work hard with you to help make life better soon. I have helped many clients overcome feelings like sadness, worry, anger, or unhappiness with their relationships over the past 25 years. I have published extensively, been quoted in newspapers, and appeared on television and radio for my clinical work as a licensed, board certified psychologist and as a university professor.

I am passionate about empowering people to thrive and fulfill their potential as well as achieve greater life satisfaction. I have worked with many people who are navigating difficulties to be able to gain greater levels of confidence and growth. I use a collaborative and goal-oriented approach in therapy. I seek to help clients build on their strengths and ultimately to be able to experience life more fully.

I utilize values-based approaches to help my clients live their most fulfilling life. With a particular interest in ACT and DBT, I work to help individuals move toward their desires and goals confidently. I provide clients with tools for empowerment and self-assurance so that they have the ability to feel their very best. It is important to me that my clients feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by creating a space that is led by compassion and understanding. I believe in the power of personal narratives and in allowing each individual to tell their story free of judgement, shame, or guilt.

Reading a few paragraphs on a screen doesn't really help when wanting to know what someone will be like. Finding the right therapist is frustrating, so I will try my best to tell you who I am and how I can help. With a direct yet empathetic approach, we will address difficult topics using clinically proven treatment interventions. I will challenge and push you during sessions while saving room for humor because I believe that with this combination, we can find strength, resilience, and connection that help motivate us toward a more empowered future.

Hello! I'm a fully Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois as well as Colorado (LPC). I have been in practice for 5 years. My specialty is clients who are struggling with ADHD and/or developing coping skills for emotion regulation.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD,career choices, pregnancy, self-esteem and accountability.

I have been in private practice for over 20 years and have treated thousands of clients including individuals, families, children and adults. People often come in seeking relief from a range of struggles including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and family conflicts. Through my work with many families I began to also address issues of parenting and family dynamics as well as children and adolescents facing a variety of disorders, self-esteem issues, and acting out behaviors. Over the span of my career I have also treated substance abuse, bipolar, psychotic and personality disorders.

I love working with children, the inner child in every adult and couples experiencing stress from parenting. I particularly specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, developmental delays, ADHD, behavior issues, Autism Spectrum and emotional problems related to other medical issues. I take a warm, collaborative and judgement-free approach. I’ll include you in your treatment planning because I think you’ll be more invested in a plan if you had a part in creating it.

Hi Friend, My name is Crystal Winfield-Edwards,. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois & Indiana, (Texas-Pending) with over 25 years of experience working with Children and Families. I've been providing individual and group therapy services since 2009. I worked with children and adolescence from ages 3-19, young & mature adults who have experienced life challenges that throw us off track. I believe that it is critically important for you to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. You should choose a therapist that will allow you the space to express yourself without fear of judgment. I will meet you where your are.

I work with clients of all ages (youth, adolescents, adults) in helping them process through various life stressors, including trauma/PTSD, anxiety, mood disorders, behavioral/social issues, sexual assault/abuse, domestic violence, self-esteem, ADHD, marital/relationship issues, grief and more. By focusing on personal strengths rather than shortcomings, I help clients recognize healthy coping skills to overcome obstacles, develop solutions and achieve their goals. I value the importance of therapeutic alliances between myself and clients and believe it is important the client is the driver of their treatment journey with my support.

My main focus has been to empower clients to reach a higher level of self-sufficiency and healing through supportive practices. Understanding that the world in which we live, how we function, and the resources available to us determines the perspective and navigation in which one has. I approach things through a holistic( mind, body, soul) lens as people cannot function as their best self in fragmented pieces. I am looking to serve individuals who have difficulty with coping through life stressors, while being open to the possibilities of transformative solutions.
