French Therapists in Huntley, IL

Do you secretly question: What's wrong with me? Do you feel as though you have to hide your shameful secrets, depression or anxiety from the scrutiny of the world? Have you been living with the secrecy and shame of an affair? Or maybe you and your partner have tried everything you can think of to make your relationship better but it just isn't working. If you would like to explore those issues in a safe, shame-free environment, I would love to work with you.

J’attache de l'importance à l'établissement d'un environnement thérapeutique empathique et confortable où la personne se sent en sécurité. J'encourage une relation collaborative et authentique dans laquelle mes clients se sentent compris et soutenus. Parce qu’une personne est unique, j'insiste sur une compréhension complète de chaque client et de leurs préoccupations spécifiques. Mes interventions sont basées sur cette compréhension ainsi que les préférences du client. Dans mes plus de 15 années de pratique, j'ai travaillé non seulement avec une diversité de problèmes cliniques mais aussi avec des clients de diverses cultures.

En tant que clinicien orienté vers les résultats, j’accueille les clients de tous les ages pour la thérapie individuelle ainsi que couple. Ma spécialisation est travailler avec des clients confrontés à des traumatismes, deuil et perte, l’infertilité, problèmes relationnels, l’estime de soi, humeur et motivation. Mon approche de psychothérapie est basée sur la perspicacité intégrée à d’autres méthodes pour répondre aux besoins et aux objectifs uniques de mes clients. Mes intérêts s’étendent à la psychologie familiale, soutenant les clients lors de séparation et divorce ainsi que la réunification thérapeutique parent-enfant.

Mon approche est centrée sur le client, ancrée dans l'empathie et le respect positif inconditionnel envers mes clients ; Je les encourage et leur donne les moyens de se sentir capables de s’épanouir face aux épreuves de la vie. Chaque personne est unique et j'intègre diverses approches fondées sur des données probantes et tenant compte des traumatismes pour répondre aux préoccupations actuelles.

En tant que psychothérapeute informé des traumatismes, j’aide les personnes aux prises avec des relations, la dépression, les angoisses, les troubles de l’humeur, le stress, les attaques de panique, les émotions, certains comportements, les antécédents sexuels et abusifs, l’établissement d’objectifs et les ajustements et transitions de vie. Beaucoup de mes clients ont vécu beaucoup de détresse émotionnelle, des problèmes relationnels qu’ils jugent insurmontables, des problèmes d’estime de soi, de confiance et d’intimité. Ils cherchent à changer, à briser les cycles. Ils se sentent épuisés, Je suis là pour vous aider.

Je pense que chaque personne a besoin d'aimer ou de se sentir aimée au plus profond d'elle-même. Lorsque ces besoins sont satisfaits, nous pouvons recevoir et partager de l'affection de la part de notre entourage, et faire partie d'une communauté. Les patients qui viennent généralement me consulter ont fait face à des obstacles dans leurs relations amoureuses, leurs relations sociales, leurs relations familiales, leurs relations au travail, leurs rapports aux collectivités et/ou leurs relations avec eux-mêmes. Lorsque je travaille avec mes patients, je les invite à examiner leurs besoins.

La thérapie nous rend vulnerable et peut être difficile. C’est pour ça que je m’engage a créer un environment comfortable qui est à votre disposition. Je travaille avec vous pour adapter votre thérapie a vos besoins et pour atteindre vos buts. Je me base sur les principes de la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale qui éclaire les liens entre nos pensées et nos émotions pour comprendre leurs influences sur nos actions. J’apporte aussi une attention aux événements socioculturels qui nous influencent et nous forment chaque jour.

Life has probably provided many challenges this past year, and has produced far more questions than you can find answers for. My goal in our work together will be to help you search for the solutions that can increase your self-esteem, decrease your anxieties as well as develop a better insight into your life. In our work together, your strengths will be our focus, and in a non-judgmental environment we will address the most intimate or overwhelming issues impacting you and/or your relationships through a mind/body approach. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, sex-positive, kink and poly-friendly.

I am experienced in working with people who are dealing with a variety of issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, loss, acculturation, chronic medical problems, relationship problems, academic issues, and adjustment to other life stressors. Each individual requires a unique approach when seeking help in coping with problems of daily living, and I am dedicated to creating a collaborative therapy environment that is based on safety and mutual respect. I tend to be direct and interactive in therapy using an integrative approach and work to empower clients to access their strengths in coping with life issues.

We envision a world where people from minority groups are able to heal from the emotional scars inflicted by systemic discrimination, poverty, unjust persecution, and marginalization. Healing from intergenerational trauma is a crucial step toward achieving individual and collective wellness. We resonate with author Akshay Dubey that the path to healing doesn't erase the experiences that caused us harm, but rather allows us to move beyond them and live with newfound strength and purpose. At R&B Counseling, we believe in your strength, resilience, and ability to heal and thrive.

A Warm Welcome! In life, we face relationship difficulties, seasons of adjustments, anxiety, and stress. We can struggle with the devastation of trauma, grief and loss, sexual problems, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions which impact every aspect of our lives. I believe that you don't have to be alone in your journey and that counseling can move individuals toward hope and healing while promoting growth, insights, tools, and purpose. I view counseling as a privilege, an honor, and a partnership between the individual and the therapist.

We could all use encouragement to unapologetically embrace our unique journeys while simultaneously striving to evolve into healthier and more fulfilled versions of ourselves. As a therapist, I provide a client-centered approach to collaboratively design and guide the therapeutic experience. Highly driven by sincerity and humor, I strive to create a climate that is safe, supportive, and culturally inclusive for all to pursue change. Therapy will be treated as an individualized experience in an empathetic, genuine, and non-judgmental manner.

We all would like our lives to be deeply satisfying, with good relationships, a sense of belonging, and a feeling like we are contributing members of society. However, sometimes we lose our way. We experience a loss of connection to ourselves or with others, we maintain beliefs and behaviors that were once helpful but now no longer serve us, or we get stuck in relationships that lack mutuality and intimacy. As a clinical psychologist with over fifteen years experience, I use a variety of techniques as we journey together help you:
