Therapists in Arlington Heights, IL

You are not perfect. You are human. It's okay to ask for help. Rally during difficult times in your life, confront uncomfortable feelings, make the difficult decisions, and be confident in it all! My personal philosophy is that therapy IS NOT meant to be easy. You are here to get outside of your comfort zone. You are here to grow. I will push you, hold you accountable, encourage you to take risks, set boundaries and overcome your fears. “Daring Greatly: the courage to be vulnerable, to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need, to talk about how you’re feeling, and to have the hard conversations.” Dr. Brene Brown.

Maybe you crave a safe space to be seen, getting help addressing what is going on and finding a new way to be, not just do.
