"I have significant experience with adolescents and families who feel “stuck” in anxiety or panic even to the point of avoiding school, work, or other major life hurdles. I have developed programs and training opportunities for organizations to learn how to use willingness and sitting with discomfort to take actions toward the value path. I have led dozens of groups, trainings, and has supervised numerous psychologists in training. "

"Therapy involves investing in your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being, and is well worth the effort! Illness, relationship conflicts, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, transitions, and trauma all impair our natural ability to maintain balance and live happier and more satisfying lives. My role is to serve as an interactive and supportive partner as we explore strategies to increase your coping skills, reduce distress, address addiction, process grief, find new meaning in chronic illness, build better relationships, and conquer obstacles that hold you back from achieving your potential."

"Hello, my name is Yvette. I am a seasoned professional and licensed therapist with a passion to empower individuals, couples, and families. I strive to assist clients in their journey to find fulfillment, joy, and peace of mind through services that promote personal and spiritual growth, emotional healing, improved relationships, and purposeful living. I am the founder of Therapy4U-Chicago. At Therapy4U we believe that life's challenges should not be met alone. We provide individualized care using solution focused and cognitive therapy in English, and Spanish (hablo español). I enjoy helping clients work through issues such as:"

"We all learn and grow in our own unique ways. We have strengths and challenges, and need to understand them to be successful. The North Shore Center for ADHD and Learning offers an opportunity to learn about your unique talents and needs, in order to maximize your potential. Our biopsychosocial approach integrates an initial comprehensive assessment followed by recommendations for various treatment and educational interventions. The treatment plan can include pharmacological (medication) and behavioral approaches to ADHD and learning disorders."

"I help people to discover the best within themselves, and to use their strengths to overcome internal and external obstacles to success. I am interested in working with a wide range of clients and concerns. My approach is to work collaboratively to resolve conflicts that may be impeding your progress."

"Welcome! My approach is holistic and we can work together to unwind issues that make you feel stuck. I'm here to help you feel more at ease on all levels, mentally, emotionally, and physically. "

" I support children, adolescents and adults dealing with lots of different challenges. Some of my specialties include trauma and grief, compassion fatigue, and postpartum anxiety and depression. I believe in our capacity to grow and change, so my role is to create space for you breathe, slow down, and be attentive to what’s happening in your body and in your life. I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach to help you tell your story, identify your strengths, and build your capacity for resilience. We’ll work together to identify what’s going wrong, what’s going right, and what kind of changes you want to see in your life. "

"In working with my clients, we explore what holds meaning, what patterns/habits work and no longer work in their life as well as who/what helps them create balance and motivation. When clients find that some of their reactions and emotional responses are no longer having the same effect, we work together to allow their authentic self to take initiative and risks as they engage in relationships with a more healthy, centered, and intentional stance. I value and welcome my clients’ spiritual journey and faith background and the variety of practices that aid in healing and restoring integration and connection in our work together. "

"I look forward to learning about your story and the strengths and supports that have helped you in the past. I value a strong therapist-client relationship, and I believe that together we can set meaningful and attainable goals to foster more peace and functioning in your daily life. I teach mindfulness and generally use cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy in my practice. "

"During my years as a therapist, I've treated many clients who coped successfully with life's endless challenges until something happened that turned their lives upside down. Death, relationship conflicts, young adulthood struggles and other upsetting experiences cause feelings of anxiety, depression, confusion or loneliness. To strengthen people who come to me, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship that frees them to express their feelings and gain a sense of direction. They know that I'll listen carefully, take them seriously and help them regain emotional stability and peace. I provide therapy online if it's helpful. "

"Hi, I'm Christy Vargas! I'm a psychotherapist, but you might also call me a self-care/self-love advocate working towards eliminating the stigma of mental illness. I help people who long to feel emotionally safe and secure but are buried under mental obstacles. I guide them to commit to their journey of self-love, so that they can live their full potential and be the best version of themselves that they can be. I know from my own path to wellness and from helping many youth that investing in your mental health is so worth it and that you deserve to be happy."

"Throughout our lives, we can all benefit from some outside help to guide us back on track. As a mental health counselor I understand the value of proper self-care, which includes taking care of our emotional and mental needs. Whether I am working with people experiencing anxiety, stress, behavioral issues, self esteem issues, relationship issues, or those with substance use or addiction- my goal is to get to know you and all the important aspects of your life that make you unique. Once we determine the focus of counseling, it will be a collaborative process to begin to motivate change and set goals that are important to you. "

"Therapy is an adventure where you are the pilot, I your co-pilot, and together we can work on creating a unique path to help you rise to your potential. Beginning your journey in therapy can be a daunting experience. As your therapist it is my priority to help guide and support you and your goals in journey that will be a parallel collaboration of learning and rediscovery. I believe that therapy is a fluid process that can help you not only work through distress, but also help discover your strengths and insight. Therapy will empower you by giving your experiences and life knowledge a voice and a say in the outcome of your future. "
