Therapists in Brookfield, IL

Hi there and congratulations on taking the first step to a new you!! Does life have you feeling down with no sense of direction? Are you struggling in school or career? Whatever you may be feeling I am here to help.

I offer a warm, empathic, and collaborative therapy space that reflects my passion for helping clients build fuller and more authentic lives. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan with various concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, education/career, and family-of-origin. I also have specialized training in working with college students, immigrants, and trauma survivors. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my culture-centered approach allows me to attend to the intersections of your cultural identities and how it impacts your experience of the world.

We solely see first responders, ER staff, and veterans at the FRWC. Being a former Chicago Police Officer for 13 years, I understand the unique needs of first responders and developed the center to help those who protect us. We see first responders due to trauma, crisis, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, job-related stress, suicide, etc. We also understand how there are concerns about engaging in therapy services and protecting your job. We ensure that you will have privacy and confidentiality. We have a separate entrance and exit to maintain confidentiality.

I work best with adult clients (18+) who hope to better manage anxiety and depression or cope with life transitions such as career changes, sudden loss/grief, pregnancy/postpartum, or relationship challenges. In addition to supporting individuals, I work with couples using the Gottman Method. I belong to a group practice (Wildflower Center for Emotional Health, LLC), where I receive ongoing training and consultation in evidence-based modalities, perinatal mental health, and couples therapy. I am also a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Knowledgable Therapist and enjoy supporting people with this trait.

Ever feel like you just Can't Do It Anymore! Or you would like to improve your work and personal relationships? At times we get to this point and know it's time to reach out for SUPPORT. Time for change. I work with those who may have experienced difficult childhood events, trauma, anxiety, depression, medical conditions, or other mental health disorders that create stress keeping you from enjoying your life. I can teach you techniques to create the calm you require to pursue your career or relationship dreams. You can prepare for the next life challenge, even if it's scary or seems impossible.

Hi there! I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Champaign, Illinois committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. I'm passionate about helping first-generation college students, young professionals, and adults from culturally diverse backgrounds achieve their personal, relational, academic, and career goals. I have 15-years of specialization helping individuals with issues related to depression, anxiety, stress/panic, trauma, relationship issues, college stressors, career issues, life transitions, and cultural identity concerns.

I am an Army Veteran and LCPC with a certification as a national certified counselor through the NBCC and have accumulated over 6 years of direct individual/group practice as a licensed counselor. Overall, my experience spans over 10 years working as a crisis, substance use, and mental health counselor in the field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and substance use. I also have assisted many clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Being a therapist is a huge responsibility that I do not take lightly. I know that being vulnerable in therapy can be a challenge. The change process can also be difficult. Having said that, I do this work because I have seen change and healing happen throughout my career. Before this process can begin, it is useful to know the underlying contributing factors to the problem (s); as those factors should influence therapy. It can be difficult to change something that you do not understand.

(She/Her/Hers) Over the years, I have built a practice devoted to improving the lives of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, struggling with a number of different issues. More recently, I have shifted my focus from clinical practice to the training of pre-licensed and early career therapists. I very much enjoy mentoring as it gives me the opportunity to share all that I have learned in my two decades of providing psychotherapy.

To LIVE after Trauma and Grief was the smartest choice I've made Learning to LOVE as a Parent and Single Woman, feels freeing Having LIFE with Relational Purpose is a class all Its own After 35 years of life experience, 7 years of experience in field of mental health, 4 years as a Licensed Therapist, and continuing education as a 5th year doctoral student I have been able to create a program that eases the stigma of seeing a therapist. Through the recognition of new self-awareness, clients will work towards their goals through her directive and active guidance.

I believe in taking a warm, nonjudgmental, collaborative approach to therapy; I truly believe that you are the expert of your experience and I am here to help as a coach and support you in reaching your goals. I approach therapy as both an art and a science; the art of human connection and the science of evidenced-based therapies such as CBT, DBT and ACT that have been proven to work. I am also a social worker at heart and like to bring in understanding of our society to help people of color, LGBTQ+ folks and other marginalized communities feel empowered to navigate and cope with the impact of these systems of today's world.

Even when life is seemingly going well, our thoughts and feelings can make our days and nights a struggle. Living with mental illness or going through a challenging time can be like there is an ever-looming cloud blocking us from feeling the sun. It is my belief that therapy can help us see and feel the light again. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral or personality issues, and abuse & trauma can make us feel like we’re alone and without hope. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone and get to learn coping strategies and solutions.

I am currently NOT accepting new clients. If you'd still like to connect, please do! I'd be more than happy to help you find a good fit, or keep you on my wait-list! My ideal client is anyone who wants to dive into their own story and go through the process of changing it for the better. It is my belief is that we are all capable of making positive change for ourselves! I have worked with clients both young and old, and have worked with couples and families. I have additional experience in counseling issues with addiction and substance abuse, careers and work, sports psychology, and counseling persons with disabilities.

My approach to therapy is integrative and is relationally focused. My lens is existential and focused on finding meaning in what seems to be an increasingly chaotic, meaningless world of information overload, technology, climate change, and social unrest. I believe that mental health goes beyond alleviating symptoms and that we have the capacity to experience greater joy, creativity, meaning, and fulfilling relationships in life. I have interest and experience working with those who identify as LGBTQ+, first-generation college students, and issues of grief, trauma, burnout, loneliness, isolation, career and life transitions.

Are you going through a life transition and finding it difficult to cope with all the change? Are you or your child preparing for the next phase of life? Did you just move, graduate, start a new job, or are you having a hard time with social connections? Change can be hard. Do you have negative body image or have negative thoughts towards yourself often, maybe even daily?

“Our greatest need is to be seen.” Marianne Williamson. My goal as a counselor is to be someone who sees and understands. We are all individuals and have many complexities. Our needs and struggles are unique.

These are difficult times for all of us, each in our own way. At times we feel anxious, overwhelmed—and alone. We’re upset about our thoughts and how we act. Yet it seems hard to reach out for help. Connecting with a caring and wise therapist, however, can be of great benefit. At this point in your life, I extend my hand of assistance with all the experience and skills I have developed over the years. Seeking help is a smart thing to do. If you don't call me for a session, call someone. You are worth it. Most importantly, you CAN feel better. Cordially, Dr. Randall

I primarily work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career exploration and life transitions.
