Therapists in Glenwood, IL

We have our own journey full of triumphs, struggles, and failure. Therapy is a perfect format to process and come to the understanding of where and why you are that brings you to seek the service. My belief is that therapy is the place for the person to process and discuss each unique experience without judgment and develop a healthy way to cope or come to terms with the consequences. Therapy also can be your opportunity to be seen and heard, which would help you move toward the acceptance of yourself.

Our goal is to serve as your guide and walk with you on your life journey. We aim to help you overcome obstacles that may be holding you back from reaching your dreams, while providing you with healthy strategies to implement in your life outside of therapy. Whether exploring the past, present, or future; discussing coping strategies; processing stressful events; building resiliency; healing from trauma; creative problem-solving, or enhancing communication within your relationship. We serve an array of culturally diverse clients, including: children, adolescents, teenagers, college students, adults, couples, and families.

Feeling that you have lost your inner peace, confused about what steps to take next or just simply not feeling like yourself can be uncomfortable. Being in this season of your life that brings sadness, joy, hurt, pain, happiness, struggle and success is not meant to be done alone. You may need a space to gain back hope, hold yourself accountable and celebrate your wins. Our work together will be supportive and challenging. We will use these sessions to learn how to work through adversities, identify feelings and express yourself by working toward the goal of gaining a better understanding and connection with yourself.

I’m Abbie, a dedicated intern therapist specializing in supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, and anxiety. With years in the field I have developed a passion for mental health and am eager to provide empathetic and effective support tailored to my clients needs. I aim to help my clients develop their self compassion, resilience, and overall satisfaction with life. By utilizing a strengths-based approach, my clients work toward meeting their goals.

I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.

I specialize in working with clients who grew up with the sense that "something was off," those that received the messaging that they were too sensitive. Whether you are a trauma survivor, stuck in cyclical relapse, queer, or neurodivergent, I know what it's like to find refuge in anything but other people. I am specifically trained to work with individuals who want to reconsider their relationship with substances, whether the hope is abstinence or moderation. If you resonate with the idea that you can "get addicted to anything," we may be a great fit.

As a professional, and a parent I truly understand there is no greater joy than seeing your child happy and healthy. I also know there is no greater heartache than seeing your child unhappy. For adults: stress, anxiety, and depression can diminish time with families. For children: poor self-esteem, decreased confidence, bullying/ loss, academic struggles or a disability can impact friendships,family, and academics. I specialize in working with people who have experienced a twist in life that they were not expecting. I have 25 years of treating adults and children who want to reclaim control of their lives.

I recognize that entering into a counseling relationship takes both courage and trust & applaud you for taking the time to seek a therapist who is a good fit for your needs. Above all, I believe that Your Story Matters. Through an integration of person-centered and psychodynamic theories, I support adults in unpacking their unique stories in a meaningful way. I approach counseling from a collaborative lens that honors the complexity of identity (ethnicity, gender, disability, language, sexual orientation and any other factors that relate to an individual's personal, societal and cultural experiences).
