Therapists in Canton, IL

Are you experiencing difficulty in your relationships, engaging in self-sabotoging behavior, feeling paralyzed in your life? You can create change. You don't have to remain anxious, depressed, confused or paralyzed in relationships or in life. Together we can create a safe space for you to feel both understood and empowered. We will work as a partnership exploring the hurdles that prevent growth, and the patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful but difficult to let go of. Together we will lay the foundation for lasting change.

Life presents us with challenges and it helps to have someone who can be present with us; carefully listen to us; and be skilled at helping us through the challenges we face. As a therapist, I believe it is important to provide a comfortable space that allows you to work through difficult issues with acceptance and support.

Frank also enjoys working with couples and utilizes a therapeutic approach that he calls the “ABC-4B” approach (acceptance, acknowledge, attention, belief, benevolence, commitment, compassion; and the 4B-bitterness, berating, belittling, and blaming). He specializes in working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-work issues, life transitions, and some personality disorders as well.

I specialize in working with youth ages 12 and older, parents, and family dynamics. I also work with adults. The mental health issues I specialize in are: depression and suicidal thoughts/ideation, self-harming behaviors, anxiety, trauma history or disorders, oppositional defiance, ADHD, parenting, peer relationships, self-esteem, sexual abuse, and sexually problematic behaviors. I also specialize in family reintegration and boundary setting. Therapy should be about improving yourself and learning the tools to do that effectively.

Life comes with many changes, and sometimes these changes do not always seem to be for the better. During these dark times it can feel like we lack the strength to continue on, or it feels like the path forward is too cloudy to know which way to begin to start walking. However, many people experience depression, sorrow, anxiety, grief, anger, and loss at different points in their lives and the journey through these times do not have to be done alone. My name is Daniel Campbell, I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor at Quad City Behavioral Health Associates, and I want to walk with you.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, problems with achievement and unhealthy coping with professional stress. I will help you feel like you are heard and your problems are understood. We'll work together to help determine what tools or skills you will need to overcome the emotions that are keeping you from living the life you want. I'll help you build your skills to overcome what has previously held you back. I work with people from a variety of backgrounds including those who work in healthcare, business, law, technology, engineering, and students (high school through graduate school).

I have over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have been in private practice since 2005 working with individuals, couples and families to address a variety of concerns. Many clients I work with have presenting issues including depression, anxiety, relational, and situational concerns. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. I also currently provide counseling services at the University of Illinois as the Director of Faculty/Staff Assistance and Well-Being Services.

I believe when an individual begins the therapy process with me that they will experience a safe, unconditional and non-judgmental environment. I always attempt to provide a solid foundation of listening and trust. No matter what brings an individual to the therapy process, you can always feel comfortable that I will help guide you through your struggles and difficulties in a down-to-earth recovery oriented manner. Being able to demonstrate positive outcomes though the use of quantitative measures has been able to provide concrete evidence to individuals that recovery, balance and overall wellness is possible.

Our work with clients is meant to be supportive and comprehensive. Our work begins by learning about our clients, the situation, and their goals. We gather this information through listening and engaging our clients. We will then discuss practical next-steps that are relevant to each client's experience. Our services include psychotherapy and psychological testing. Our brief psychotherapy model seeks to help individuals, couples, and families flourish.

Nothing needs to change in the circumstances or particulars of our lives to rest as peace. In fact, the more we attempt to manipulate and alter the particulars of our lives in order to experience peace, the further we will (seem to) move from what we want. What to do? Nothing. Relax. Give up. Release the grip. Resign ourselves to leaving everything alone, letting everything be as it is. We will find that we have always been standing knee-deep in the very peace we have been looking for. What a relief.

It was Irvin Yalom who said something to the effect that "psychotherapy is like a dress rehearsal for life". With this said, it is my intention to not only offer you support in therapy but to also help you generalize the skills you learn in therapy and apply them in your outside life and relationships. I specialize in anger and anxiety management for adults and adolescents. I hold an Anger Management Certification. I also enjoy working with highly intelligent adults and teens who have a difficult time adjusting and adapting socially. This includes working with individuals on the high functioning end of the Autism scale.

I work well with clients from all walks of life who have identified that something is not working for them and they would like to enhance their "tool set." While I am able to work with a wide range of issues, the most common that tend to present themselves are related to changes in life, anxiety, or depression. I believe that each person tries to do the best they can with what they have. Sometimes what we have is not quite enough for a problem and we need to learn a more effective way of dealing with issues. It is not in my ability to change a person, I only help them change themselves to the degree they are willing.

Feeling confused or stuck? Therapy can help people identify and make progress on issues that are getting in the way of happiness, personal growth and fulfilling relationships in their lives. My professional experience includes success in helping teens and adults dealing with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use, relationships, parenting, and family related issues. I have worked in the counseling center of a major university, in a substance use treatment facility, in community mental health, and in private practice and have many years of experience and education.

The goal of counseling is to help people make meaningful change to improve overall well-being. A good therapist should meet you where you are at, help you identify stressors, then work with you to develop the coping skills that result in positive change. Confronting suffering can be difficult, whether that suffering come in the form of anxiety or depression, relationship struggles, substance abuse, or the stresses and worries of daily life.

Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

Do you feel that you are “not connecting” with life? Are you experiencing depression or anxiety? Do the same patterns keep happening over and over in your life? Are you ready to transform your life, by addressing root causes, and move more quickly than traditional therapy? Would you like to create the inner freedom in your life that will allow you to create the life you desire, and fulfill your calling? Would you like to decrease stress, and enhance your wellness on a body/mind/spirit level? Change is possible to overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma. I will work with you to help clear patterns that are holding you back.
