Infidelity Therapists in Irving Park, Chicago, IL

Do you feel disconnected, deal with infidelity, or poor communication? I help individuals and couples to develop some new skills and new ways to communicate and grow to create more satisfying relationships. I have completed Level 3 Clinical Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and use Gottman Method in my work with couples. This method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. I believe that although each individual is unique, everyone has the ability to change, heal and move forward. Therapy can help you to feel better and have a better relationship.

Hi! I’m so glad you are here to learn a bit more about me. Picking the right therapist is such an important decision and I want you to feel confident you’ve found a great match. One of my biggest priorities is to make therapy feel good for people. I know for many, therapy can seem awkward or uncomfortable. I’m trying my best to change that narrative by allowing our time together to feel relaxed, a space where you feel like an equal. I want you to feel seen and understood anytime we work together.

Looking for relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety or low self esteem? Perhaps you are struggling in your current relationship to feel heard, to increase intimacy or to quit arguing? Through our work together I will help you find positive alternatives to negative thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors that are keeping you from fully understanding and accepting yourself and connecting with others. Together we will establish realistic goals, monitor growth and change and celebrate rewards, while learning to accept the things that can't be changed. Clients see me as non-judgmental, empowering, and active in their quest for healing.

Are you trying to find more balance in your life? I can help! I specialize in working with adults who are trying to improve their relationships, navigate infidelity and women/couples who are experiencing infertility or alternative paths to build a family. I support clients who are navigating pregnancy and the stress of early parenthood. I also offer therapy to women who are interested in being a Single Mother by Choice. I provide a supportive environment where you can feel heard and seen in a nonjudgmental space.

I specialize in providing therapy to couples. As a relationally-trained therapist, I bring curiosity to the ways circularity works in couple relationships: how are patterns co-created and maintained? Through a collaborate and creative process, clients will grow individual and relational self-awareness. Together, we will consider the importance of validation and curiosity in reducing conflict. I support clients in naming emotions, needs, and hurts, so that they may become bids for connection, instead of hidden sources of detachment.

I believe that our most impactful relationships and our cultural contexts profoundly influence how we navigate the world. This systemic approach is combined with a practice that is trauma-informed and strength-based to hold space that balances warmth, thoughtfulness, and laughter with an appropriate amount of challenge. In my work, I value creating authentic and meaningful relationships with my clients where we can collaborate to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Are you a man that feels stuck? Do you need help with confidence, masculinity, marriage/romantic relationships, dating, purpose, leadership, self-discipline, and friendships? Many men feel stuck right now, unsure of what it means to be a man and how to feel good about it. We often get conflicting messages from our parents, our partners, and the broader culture about manhood and masculinity. Many people equate masculinity with toxic masculinity. If you’re struggling to figure out how to be a strong, confident man that is also kind and loving, then coaching or a men’s group may be right for you.

You are the most important person you will ever meet. Why not be on good terms with yourself? I view therapy as a relationship between two people devoted to facing the deepest truths of our lives so we can be healed. I believe that coming to know ourselves and understanding why we suffer leads to genuine change, a return to health, and gives birth to a more authentic life. In therapy, we discover that we heal through relating, because the wounds that occurred in relationships must be healed in a relationship. For what was unbearable when alone, becomes bearable when shared.

Jonah’s approach to therapy is founded on the principle of self-compassion. He firmly believes that building a foundation of self-love and understanding is the first step toward healing and growth.

Jonah helps people to identify their unique strengths to address the ongoing challenges they face.
