Men's Issues Therapists in 60657

If you are feeling stuck and uncertain how to make changes therapy can help. I work with adults and adolescents to overcome doubt, change unhealthy patterns, improve relationships, and find healthy ways to cope. For some that means approaching the things they avoid, taking down emotional walls, changing their substance use, gaming/internet use, or other unhealthy behaviors. I specialize in anxiety and mood issues, substance use, addictive behaviors, and men's issues. The practice website provides additional info about my experience and approach. If you would like to connect to help determine fit, I offer a free phone consultation .

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience in the field. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, coping skills, stress, and men's issues, and approach the therapeutic process with compassion and empathy, treating everyone with respect and dignity. During sessions, I use a mix of motivational interviewing, compassion and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), among other appropriate techniques. I have learned that no two people are the same and that everyone must be treated individually and holistically. Above all else, I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental and welcoming environment.

Have you been feeling anxious or sad? Do you ever feel stuck in your relationship with yourself or others? Whatever you have been feeling, I can imagine facing these feelings has been challenging, confusing, and scary. These feelings are not uncommon for those of us who experience or have experienced emotionally charged and vulnerable moments. To manage these feelings, many of us often ignore them, which can lead to them feeling intense and uncomfortable. Together we can learn to understand and manage your feelings, ultimately improving your relationship with yourself and others.

In every individual's life, the therapeutic journey can often resemble navigating a maze. Along this winding path, we may at times feel adrift, but it is within these very moments of vulnerability that we discover the potency of authenticity, affirmation, and connection. When we embrace the tapestry of our differences, we unveil the resilience that diversity brings. It is from this understanding that I've dedicated my practice to serving the often marginalized – be it the Latino community, the LGBT spectrum, or those embarking on non-traditional relationships.

A collaboration, this collaborative process allows clients to retake control of their thoughts, emotions and behaviors and work to change the direction of their lives. I have been a therapist providing counseling to individuals and families for over 20 years. My background includes concentrated work with individuals struggling with mental illness, anxiety, life transitions, family relationships, sexuality, gender identity, trauma, self-esteem, depression, and anger. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, non-profits, outpatient community mental health centers and private practice.

I believe the catalyst for change lies in acknowledging aspects of your life that no longer serve you. This recognition, along with a genuine desire for change, provides the foundation for your collaborative journey. Drawing on diverse perspectives and each person's unique experience, my role is to guide you toward not just believing but envisioning the effectiveness of the solutions we co-create. Together, we'll identify a path toward meaningful and sustainable change with clear goals and tangible steps, where you feel empowered to take action.

There are numerous reasons why an individual makes a decision to seek therapy. From my perspective, the key factor in being able to examine your individual reasons is based upon the relationship between yourself and your therapist. I offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment in order to explore your individual needs with a commitment to placing the highest priority on your care. We will work collaboratively to identify and address your concerns in order to foster meaningful change in your life. My clinical experience has included working not only with individuals but couples, families and groups.

Hello and welcome. I work with adults of all ages and my approach is active and collaborative. I see people with a variety of concerns, although I do specialize in three broad areas. These include helping people cope with medical conditions, major stressful events, and substance abuse recovery. If your particular issue is holding you back, impacting your personal or work life, or causing you significant distress such as anxiety or depression, then I invite you to read on and check out my website.

Feeling anxious, stressed or depressed? Many people are overwhelmed these days. There is help.

Nothing human can be alien to me -Terence. Within the bounds of a safe relationship, I hope you can let the ugly, shameful and irrational parts of you breathe. Together, we can encounter them with compassion, as this is often where the work lies. I endeavor to create a warm holding environment for you as we explore issues more deeply and understand their origins through psychoanalytic, relational and existential perspectives. I share my conceptualizations with clients and provide psychoeducation to increase insight into our unconscious experiences, while honoring individual uniqueness, cultural nuances, and other complexities.

The past few years have been incredibly difficult for everyone, regardless of background or finances. In my practice I strive to create a warm and welcoming space where we can curiously and compassionately explore your concerns. I genuinely believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my goal is to assist you with discovering and deciding how to live your best life. Throughout the pandemic I was specializing in working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, isolation, interpersonal conflict, and grief.

We all have been shaped by our past experiences but sometimes we don’t know how to move forward. We don’t want to be “stuck in the past,” but we also know we can’t “avoid” our history. I have extensive experience in helping people process their lived experiences, understand how their relationships with themselves and others affects who they are, and approach anxiety, trauma, grief and loss in a manner that gives space for healing.

I have provided individual, couples, and family therapy to adults and adolescents for over 18 years. I have experience working with individuals and families from varied ethnic/cultural/sexual orientation backgrounds. My therapeutic orientation includes cognitive behavioral, strengths-based and person-centered approaches. I am a strong believer in "one size does not fit all" and adapt my approach based on client's needs and belief systems. I am supportive but can be directive when the clinical need arises. Currently, I only see clients on Wednesdays. I conduct therapy in Spanish as well.

Regardless of how often you attend the men's therapy group, be it once a week, once per month, or once in a lifetime, my goal is to create an atmosphere free from external judgment. This will allow you room to develop both clarity and confidence in the decisions you make while you determine the best manner in which to live your life. As you gain greater insight into ongoing challenges, I will provide theory based reflective and directive clinical support. Through this process, you may find your ability to grow and change has a limitless capacity. It's time to experience life on your terms.

I approach my clinical work with an emphasis on relationships, attachment and the importance of multi-cultural and relational approaches. I understand the value of knowing where a client comes from and where they have been in order to collaboratively develop interventions and approaches that are safe, effective and familiar. I believe that in order to truly help clients they, and I, must understand the context in which they live and learn and that the work we do in the clinical room must be transferable to their everyday life. Many of my clients are seeking guidance on how to engage in and maintain healthy relationships.

Have you been considering a change in your life, but don't know where to start? Do you feel like there are some unresolved issues that are holding you back from having the life you truly want to live? I approach the therapeutic process through a compassionate and collaborative framework, allowing for my clients to hold onto and further develop their innate dignity, self-worth while simultaneously walking with them through their internal process of change. I have extensive experience in inpatient substance use environments as well as outpatient therapy.

Not happy about something? Haven't been able to fix it? Let's talk! I help individuals have the freedom to get unstuck with something that has been bothering them. Here are benefits my clients experience: simple to use techniques that cause life change and bring results sooner and more easily, shifts in thinking that are understandable and bring rapid results, sessions are light and enjoyable with some humor sprinkled in, and you will feel better rather quickly once our conversation is underway.

It takes courage to face your challenges head on, and I want to congratulate you on taking this first step. I believe strongly you are a uniquely gifted individual who is capable of determining your own goals and direction. My role is to provide feedback, guidance, and support as you navigate this process. I believe when you are better able to identify and understand what causes you to think and feel the way you do, you will see a shift in how you respond to stressors in your day to day life.
