Adults Therapists in South Loop, Chicago, IL

I believe therapy is a collaborative process and invite feedback at all stages of our work. I bring to therapy my previous experiences working in creative environments, to help clients foster new perspectives and solutions that fit your unique struggles, identities, and personality. My clients have come from diverse backgrounds and many have experienced abuse, loss, and/or marginalization. Therapy can offer some immediate relief from stress, depression, and anxiety, but I also work with clients to make lasting changes in the way you see and relate to yourself and others. I work with university students, couples, and adults .

I work with adolescents, adults and couples struggling with communication and self-esteem. I want to help anyone dealing with issues surrounding self-worth, relationships, sex and intimacy, life transitions, depression and anxiety, and the perinatal/postpartum period to understand that they are not alone. I consider myself a relational therapist and work with any and all relationships! This includes but is not limited to couples, spouses, friendships, adult siblings, open relationships, and polyamorous relationships.

I have worked with individuals of all ages who are experiencing various stressors such as adults experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, relationship issues, career discernment, struggles with identity and substance abuse problems. I have also worked with teenagers and adolescents who are having difficulties with school, peer pressure, and/or a history of trauma. I enjoy working with couples and families, as well. I am also interested in the intersection between physical health and mental health as I believe in a holistic therapeutic approach.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult and may weigh heavily on us yet it can make all the difference when we feel overwhelmed, helpless, or alone. If you have something in mind that you would like to see change, we can work collaboratively to address emotional barriers, past experiences, stressors, or patterns of behavior which may be negatively impacting your symptoms. I believe that a non-judgmental, safe, validating, culturally competent, and empathic therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and relational conflicts.

As a psychologist and psychoanalyst I work with children, adolescents and adults of all ages in a strength-based and relationship-engaged process. With both children and teenagers, I always include parallel work with parents to support and improve communication and understanding. My approach is grounded in a development perspective that appreciates the essential connection between body and mind and recognizes how past experiences and relationships, as well as things outside of our conscious awareness, influence our present-day feelings and behavior. I have successfully worked with persons of all ages who wish to avoid or discontinue the use of psychotropic medications.

I can help with: Mood issues (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder), adult or childhood trauma, perinatal mental health concerns and birth trauma (for birthing and non-birthing parents), vicarious trauma, family and relationship difficulties, and grief.

Do you feel caught in a web of worry, sadness, or uncertainty? I understand those feelings. I also understand the healing that comes from being heard, validated, and supported. There is hope and positive change is possible with the right support and coping skills. I will help you get to the root cause of your problems, overcome your challenges, and shift into the person you want to be.

My preference is to work with adults and couples, and to meet them where they are emotionally. From there we explore what their struggles are in their daily lives, the pain that brings them into my office, and typically use insight and a focus on their past conflicts and hurts to bring peace and resolution into their present lives.

Hi! My name is Marta, Why just survive when we can thrive? This is the question we need to ask ourselves when thinking about starting therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor that has worked extensively with individuals struggling with relationship dissatisfaction and other relational issues, depression, anxiety, anger and emotion management, emotional eating, panic attacks, trauma, struggles with self-esteem, stress-management and burnout, difficulties with parenting or co-parenting, career related hurdles and work dissatisfaction, adult ADHD, OCD, and intrusive thoughts.

Having overcome tremendous adversity in my own life, I recognize the importance of helping others navigate and overcome theirs, especially during such an uncertain time. I am both a provider and a client of therapy, which allows me to better understand the individuals I work with. In our daily lives, it can often feel like we are being pulled in a million different directions. I want therapy to provide a space where you can be completely and authentically yourself, without judgment, expectations, or pressure. I truly love helping people create change in their own lives and feel lucky to have the front row seat when they do.

You may not realize it but you already have the tools and insight to aid you in reaching your potential. In working with me, I will strive to help you claim your best self in identifying your strengths while also adding to your mental health toolkit. It will be a collaborative effort and the expertise you have over your own life will be valued at all stages of the process. I am a strong supporter of intersectionality, so I believe all layers of a person's identity should be considered and tended to!

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, career development, and body image issues. I enjoy working with creatives, people exploring their gender or sexual identities, and adults in new life transitions, at any age. I take a relational, trauma-informed approach, and I use my dance and movement background to integrate embodied paths to healing. I will honor all of the experiences, values, and recalibrations that make you exactly who you are today: a nuanced, complex, unique individual who is worth knowing.

Welcome! I am so glad that you are here! Looking for a therapist can often be daunting. I believe that you can cultivate the most change in life through discomfort and challenging experiences. Stumbling upon my page means that you have already embarked upon that journey. You have chosen to prioritize your mental health. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety and mood disorders, ADHD, life transitions, and everyday stressors. I bring empathy and compassion by creating a warm and welcoming space, so that you feel understood and heard.

I have a firm and foundational belief that every individual is inherently deserving of compassion, understanding and acceptance. Emotional and psychological suffering can feel confusing and intensely painful, but through psychodynamic-based therapy we can work towards identifying not only what that suffering means to you, but where and what it is rooted in. Through a process that includes safety and mindful intention, it is my goal to help you find a sense of liberation and clarity. I invite all parts of you to be present throughout the therapeutic process, including parts of you that may be ridden with shame and hidden as a result.
