Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Pittsfield, IL

Life can be hard, painful, confusing, scary, and challenging. Events happen that leave us reeling with brokenness, grief, disbelief, guilt, fear, insecurity, and shame. We don't know what to do or which way to turn or how we got here in the first place. We may hold onto false beliefs about our self-worth, negative thoughts that tear us apart, relationships that are toxic, and behaviors that are destructive. All in an attempt to somehow alleviate how we are feeling. I am here to partner with you in working towards wholeness and healing and to empower you to move forward, happily and confidently.

Metro East Counseling has expanded services to Maryville, IL. Here you will find licensed and experienced professionals, providing services in a confidential environment. We offer flexible appointment times available days, evenings, and weekends. We look forward to connecting with clients and supporting them alongside their mental health journey.

Therapy is sometimes perceived as a one sided conversation without experiences of meeting and talking with someone as a real person. I can assure you, I am as real as it gets! I want to work with clients that suffer from various issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., to ensure you are able to cope with these while working through every day life in a realistic manner. Life is too short to feel like you have to only go through the motions every day, you should be living your best life, despite life's ups and downs.

I have a lifelong interest in the healing power of art. I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative alliance between the client and art therapist. Our goals for healing can involve increasing insight, removing roadblocks to growth, and reframing perceptions to allow for integration. I believe that we all have the innate ability to heal. I emphasize the use of creativity to heal and through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, believe in the power to facilitate integration can lead to a new state of embodiment.

Thank you for taking the time to seek counseling for yourself or your family. I know it is not easy to seek help from someone you do not know. I have been told I have a direct approach to assist in getting through painful memories at a gentle pace. I believe old pains can be healed if allowed to be shared, explored, and understood. For appointments, I have daytime and some evening appointments and use text alerts for appointment reminders. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions.

Sometimes in life we struggle with understanding why or how we ended up where we have. I believe that most of us attempt to manage the best we can given our current circumstances, struggles and challenges. Even then life can still seem insurmountable. I want you to know that change is possible, but doing it alone may feel like an added burden. I will work with you collaboratively to navigate the challenges at hand. My goal is to provide an unbiased, welcoming, and therapeutic environment.

Hi there! I'm Darionne, and I know emotions can be a super weird but important part of the human existence. I deeply enjoy helping people navigate those big emotions as well as other life struggles. I always tailor my therapeutic approaches to whatever my clients interests are. So, if you hate writing, let's not journal! But, let's find something else that you enjoy and can be therapeutic for your healing. My clients always receive a treatment approach that's tailored to both their needs and preferences.

Life throws us many obstacles and challenges, no matter our age. Challenges such as starting a new job, moving to a new city, starting or ending a relationship, etc. Along with these new journeys, you may start to experience excessive worry, or continuously doubt your abilities, or feel isolated and alone and therefore not wanting to burden others. These patterns begin to influence your relationships with others and yourself, affecting your mood, motivation level, and overall happiness. If you’re reading this, you are approaching the first step into your therapeutic journey and I am here to help you with each step moving forward.

I serve people across the lifespan. I specialize in trauma treatment, conscious parenting, and spiritual development. I serve clients who want to heal their trauma and are hoping to create permanent peace and fulfillment in their lives.

I've been in practice for over 30 years and in that time have continued to appreciate the amazing strengths and courage that people have, despite their self-doubt. It is the challenge to unravel the doubt that keeps me energized, but humbled by the amazing courage most of my clients possess in dealing with their struggles. It is my hope that I somehow can assist them in appreciating themselves and the systems from which they come and exist, but how they truly can be creators of change in their lives.

I believe that there are many reasons that a person may seek out counseling at some period in their lives. I value that your experiences and concerns are unique to you and therefore, understand the importance of listening to your individual story. With an individualistic approach, I believe that we can work collaboratively for you to understand your situation with greater self-awareness and identify your own personal strengths which will empower you to cope with circumstances more effectively.

Maybe you have been to a therapist or two and haven't been able to dig as deep as you would like to go in order to move into your most authentic sense of being. Perhaps you struggle with a sense of purpose, self-esteem, have a sense of emptiness or loneliness, or are feeling confused about next steps. You will likely find me to be a good fit if you are looking to do much deeper work to finally resolve pain from the past as opposed to merely coping with it. Our work will be guided by a vision of long-term mental health, growing into authenticity, and creating a sense of emotional regulation that you may not have experienced yet.

I'm Katie. I've been in the counseling field since 2014. I have found that I connect best with children, adolescent and individuals emerging into adulthood. I have experience in working with clients who experience depression, anxiety, relationship concerns and whom would connect with a counselor who utilizes humor and play in sessions. I provide my clients with a space to feel comfortable and supported to help them work toward their goals.
