Couples Counseling Therapists in Medical Village, Chicago, IL

At some point in life, we all experience a moment when we question whether we're on the best path forward. Perhaps a relationship feels unfulfilling, we're not advancing in our career the way we'd hoped, or we're feeling unsure about a decision. Framework Associates strives to provide affordable, accessible psychological services from exceptionally qualified therapists.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, exhausting, and filled with obstacles. I place emphasis on building trust and rapport with each person. I am a firm believer that each person deserves to work with someone who they can trust and freely open up with. My approach to therapy is to help you overcome those obstacles, reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and your world. I find that there is a huge importance in ensuring that each person can find their voice and is able to use it to advocate for their needs. As a result of my history of working at Chicago Public Schools I have extensive experience helping children meet their goals

Currently Accepting New Clients via Telehealth only. In addition to Illinois, I am also licensed in Arizona, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri and Texas. It takes courage to understand the circumstances of our personal journeys. I provide a safe and collaborative environment to help client's identify concerns, establish achievable goals, and provide support and encouragement towards higher functioning. I empower my clients to identify their own strengths, experiences, and interpersonal relationships to help guide them to positive change.

In our lives, the journey we travel each day can be quite overwhelming, terrifying, feeling isolated, or too difficult to carry. You could be consumed persistently with worry and concern for self or others. Have you found that feelings of joy and happiness are not within reach due to significant changes or loss in your life? Have you reached a point where you have a feeling of optimism and ready to take the steps towards wellness in your life, I am the therapist for you.

My name is Dr. Amr Kireem, a clinical psychologist and licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois. I have been working with clients since 2009 who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, OCD, PTSD/trauma, relationship issues, codependency, life transitions, and other symptoms. Applying evidence-based approaches, changing faulty assumptions, and finding HOPE are the keys to a successful outcome, while keeping the individual's culture and ethnicity in mind.

If you are noticing yourself having difficulty managing your relationships, work/life balance, parenting, intense anxiety or depression, please know you are not alone.

Hello. Are you an adult, 18 years or older, seeking a safe, judgment-free space to talk out your concerns? With 10 years experience as a therapist, I've devoted my life to understanding and supporting wellness. We all know life can be isolating and unpredictable at times. Are you experiencing *Adjustments to Significant Life Transitions *Feelings of Stuckness or Despair *Identity Related Concerns *LGBTQIQA Concerns *Management of Racial & Cultural Tensions * Challenges with Boundary Setting *Anger Management *Conflict Resolution *Grief/ Loss *Career Related Concerns *Managing Family Related Responsibilities *Mindful Living *Issues with Anxiety or Stress Management?

¡Hola! First of all, I commend you. It takes courage to take the steps to care for your mental health. As a proud Latinx woman, I understand the stigma that comes with engaging in mental wellness services in our community. The truth is, there is nothing to be ashamed of. We can all benefit from some support every once in a while. Most importantly, you don't have to do it alone.

I pride myself on meeting my clients where they are to walk alongside them as they heal & create their best life. We all at times go through periods when processing, whether towards change or healing, becomes necessary. I hope to make that process a bit more comfortable, so that you are not alone, and also to help you move through your journey with integrity and intention. Many of my clients report feeling it to be easier to approach difficult topics due to us having a friendly relationship as a foundation. I believe that foundation is in part created due to our efforts in seeing and validating their own internal strengths.

Your relationship with yourself is your most valuable asset when building relationships with others. This relationship with self also serves as a compass when exploring different parts of yourself such as sexuality, attachment, and experiences of harm. Many of us struggle with this primary relationship, which complicates concerns we may have around our sexual and relational lives. Exploring sex and relationships can be a disorienting and overwhelming experience. It is important to find spaces that feel comfortable and empowering while sifting through the many layers that impact sexual and relational health and functioning.

You might be noticing patterns showing up in your life. You might feel confused and unsure about how to make changes in your life. Have you noticed trauma symptoms interfering with your daily life? Want to work with clinicians who are passionate about providing quality mental health sessions virtually? At Healing and Fuerza therapy, we will honor how cultural, systemic oppression, gender and sexual orientation impact your mental health.

We're a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive mental health counseling group for multicultural, Asian, BIPOC, immigrants, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities. We're passionate about working with individuals, couples and families from different cultural backgrounds, exploring how complex identities and unique personal experiences have shaped us into who we are. We specialize in healing from anxiety, complex trauma, relationship issues, perinatal issues, ADHD, adoption, OCD, stress, cultural identity, cultural/intergenerational conflicts, family conflicts, grief, and other issues.

I understand the healing process as one of self-determination through therapeutic empathy. Being curious while employing sensitive honesty makes me a good fit for people who are open to exploring deeper personal and interpersonal connections. The lens of attachment, psychodynamic theory, and existential thought within ecological and systemic perspectives help me appreciate the pressures that impact quality of life issues. I am interested in working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds who find themselves struggling in relationships, depression, anxiety, complex trauma, psychosis, and grief/loss.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate degree in Social Work with a wealth of experiencing in psychotherapy. I have worked with clients from a wide range of concerns including: post-traumatic stress, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, family conflict, grief and loss, and emotional abuse. Additionally, I have worked in the field of social work and mental health for over 20 years assisting individuals and families.
