French Therapists in Illinois

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you need an affordable psychological evaluation for your immigration case? We understand these services can be expensive and that is why we offer affordable fees. We specialize in conducting Immigration Evaluations for Hardship Waiver, VAWA, U Visa, T Visa, Cancellation, and N-648 cases.

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.

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.

As a Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute trained Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, I provide a psychodynamic approach to help young individuals function more effectively in social, emotional, and academic domains, while empowering them to build confidence. I bring compassionate curiosity while encouraging individuals to open a window onto their life narrative.

A longtime Chicagoan, I have also lived in China, France, and Japan. I use my full experience in management consulting, nonprofits, and the arts in my work as a therapist and am adept at working with people from varied backgrounds. I am astute, compassionate, and deeply committed to my clients' well-being. I engage my clients not only on the inner- and inter-personal levels, but also in the contexts of their intersecting roles and identities. I am attuned to the mutual influence that individuals and groups have on one another and the interconnectedness in life's pain and healing .

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.

We all go through tough times in our lives, times when we feel overwhelmed or lost, and when we need help to cope with it all and find a new path. I work with adults who are struggling with a wide variety of issues--parenting, adjustment issues, depression or anxiety, grief or loss, domestic violence, trauma and PTSD, and relationship issues just to name a few. I provide a safe, supportive, nurturing environment where clients can explore their inner thoughts, feelings and experiences and can rediscover what they need to feel happier and more at peace with their lives.

We understand how issues in childhood, issues in our relationships, and conflict within our family dynamics can contribute to depression, anxiety and PTSD. We are a niche therapy practice specializing in culturally responsive therapy, PTSD and anxiety, adoption, attachment trauma, and complex family issues and dynamics. We see couples, families, and individuals. We are neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ affirming and provide therapy in English, Spanish and French.

My clients appreciate the consistency and realness that I bring to the therapy room. My clients are looking to be understood. They want to learn real life skills while also having genuine conversations. I work mostly with individuals 18+ who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, life issues, crisis, self harm, and neurodivergence.

I am passionate in working with relational issues, either when helping individuals or couples and families. I believe that our relationships have an essential impact on our well-being. I am yet to hear a client or a friend or a family member talk about distress that is not somehow associated to a relational issue... Aren't we all longing to belong and to find safety and security in the arms of our loved ones (partners, parents or very dear friends that are like family)? And yet, these are precisely the people that can hurt us the most.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I treat people with a broad spectrum of issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relational problems, trauma and PTSD, grieving and loss, and eating disorders. I believe that people who are in emotional pain have made choices and decisions based on what they believed to be the best options available to them at the time. My collaboration with patients focuses on discovering and creating greater and more adaptive options than they previously thought possible.

Children, teens, and adults each approach their problems from differing levels of life-experience and developmentally varied problem-solving skill sets. They also have differing neurological availability to the resources and strategies that their brains can employ. At Collaborators, Inc., we work with people where they are in time, place, development, neurology, and life space. Hearing people process their experiences in this way, and joining with them in making sense of challenges, relationship issues, conflicts, and family history issues makes for a context where people can find new ways to explore their world with confidence.
