Therapists in Chicago, IL

My name is Claire Brown and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is making it what YOU want and need it to be. I see clients with a diverse range of needs, including mental health and substance use disorders. I'm comfortable treating many different mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, co-dependency, trauma, work-related stressors, and many, many others. Additionally, I'm a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor (CADC) who has extensive experience supporting those struggling with substance use disorders.

I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders and addictions. I believe entering into a therapeutic relationship requires courage and just enough hope and willingness to begin. You've been turning to a substance: alcohol, other drugs, an eating disorder, they stopped "working," but you've lost control, you want to stop and discover than you cannot. You need to risk trusting someone. Profound shame accompanies these illnesses and this shame interferes with asking for help. These are illnesses that robs all that an individual values in their life, therefore asking for help is vital, recovery cannot be done alone.

“After trauma the world becomes sharply divided between those who know and those who don’t. People who have not shared the traumatic experience cannot be trusted, because they can’t understand it” - Dr. B. Van Der Kolk. Because of my own experiences with trauma, I have a unique understanding of the importance of working with someone who “gets it”. Trauma and grief are incredibly heavy and affect all aspects of our lives. Through therapeutic work, I have found my way to the other side. My passion is to help others do the same.

As creatures of habit, we sometimes find it challenging to access the space and resources that we need in order to affect change. I am passionate about working with individuals to support them in achieving increased balance and happiness within the orbits of life: work, romance, joy, and family. I am experienced in working with children and adults impacted by substance abuse, trauma, depression and anxiety. I am certified in EMDR and have experience working with the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I believe that the work done in therapy can reconnect us with our true selves, with our goals, and with a renewed excitement for the future.

I am comfortable working with a wide range of issues, and working with me is best for clients who are interested in not only talking through their problems, but physically moving about them and getting a felt sense of everything that’s going on. As a dance movement therapist, I think the body can be a marvelous source for solutions and insights, when the movement is approached in a way that’s comfortable and safe. Talking is also an important part of the process, as we are whole mind/body systems, and we work best when both are accessible and well connected to each other. Resolving and integrating the past is part of the work.

Are you in a place where you feel the need to make changes in your life to improve your happiness and overall well-being? Maybe it's addressing your social drug/alcohol use, or wondering why you feel stuck, and feel the need to explore your intrinsic wants/needs.
