Family Therapy in Glen Ellyn, IL

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.

We are currently accepting clients, in-person and virtual! My name is Myriam, I am the practice owner of Your Family Wellness Village, where we care for the wellness of all family units, ranging from individuals, couples, and families, from adolescence to adulthood. Our aim is to provide you with emotional and practical support whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, OCD, self-injury, or adjustment to parenthood. If you are looking for: a listening ear, non-judgmental validation, practical tools and skills, but most importantly, meaningful change towards the kind of person you want to be, we can help you get there.

I work with families, individuals, and students to help each person reach their ultimate potential. Whether it be a relationship issue, educational concern, or personal struggle, I believe we truly possess all the necessary power within ourselves to accomplish our goals. I help individuals explore, understand, and harness their unique strengths. Because no two individuals or families are alike, my treatment approach varies depending on presenting concern.

At Dupage Counseling Associates, we provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to allow clients to share their story. We have worked with several individuals who are struggling with a life transition, grief/loss, trauma, relationship difficulty, anxiety, or depression.

Rachel’s goal in therapy is to provide clients with a strong, stable sense of self and the confidence to live more honestly in relationship with others. As a therapist, Rachel draws heavily on her psychoanalytic training, helping clients access unconscious thoughts that may be affecting day to day life and relationships with the belief that insight itself can be liberating. Rachel’s approach extends beyond the psychoanalytic and is integrative, pulling from behavioralist models as well as family systems and attachment theory when and where appropriate. Rachel works primarily with adolescents, adults, and couples.
