We all procrastinate from time to time— that assignment isn’t that hard, the towels aren’t that dirty, the mail isn’t so urgent. Suddenly, it’s 9:30PM, and even though you used the day productively (reorganizing Tupperware and extra electronic cables), the one thing you needed to do didn’t get done. Procrastination isn’t about being lazy or mismanaging time; it’s a misunderstanding of internal motivations and anxieties. I can help you implement changes in your life to decrease avoidant (procrastinating) behaviors as well as the frustration and guilt that comes with it.

I utilize values-based approaches to help my clients live their most fulfilling life. With a particular interest in ACT and DBT, I work to help individuals move toward their desires and goals confidently. I provide clients with tools for empowerment and self-assurance so that they have the ability to feel their very best. It is important to me that my clients feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by creating a space that is led by compassion and understanding. I believe in the power of personal narratives and in allowing each individual to tell their story free of judgement, shame, or guilt.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with over 4 years experience providing therapeutic services to diverse populations of individuals, groups, and families.

Dr. Sobel received her doctorate in clinical psychology from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and completed a fellowship at the University of Chicago. Prior to launching PACT, she was a faculty member at the Family Institute at Northwestern University and Rush University Medical Center. She has specialization in conducting diagnostic, psychoeducational, and personality testing batteries to primarily children/adolescents with a variety of psychiatric and medical diagnoses. She also assists children and their families with school programming issues. Another area of clinical expertise is providing individual, family, and group psychotherapy. She has specialization in using researched-based cognitive-behavioral techniques

My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, and open-minded. I give particular focus to building trust and developing a strong working alliance. I employ several theoretical orientations, including Psychodynamic Therapy and behavioral approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also use my many years of music education to help provide art-based therapies that foster self-expression and meaning.

I am Glenda Smith, PhD, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and owner of Frame of Mind Psychological Services, Inc. I have 20+ years of experience working with children and adults, addressing a myriad of concerns and helping to search for solutions. So, if you want to do something amazing but don't think you can. Or if you are feeling overwhelmed and off balanced, rest your mind in a calm space to help you find answers to what troubles you or create a different/new path.

At the Chicago Home Tutor we use the most current research in education and psychology to provide your child with expert instruction in the convenience of your home- in the city and suburbs. As a team of school psychologists and specialized teachers working together, we are prepared to help remove barriers that prevent learning in students with autism, learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADHD , executive functioning difficulties, and emotional challenges. We begin with a thorough assessment. We then design targeted lessons, constantly monitoring progress to maximize effectiveness and, when needed, alter our approach based on your student's response to our lessons.

Teletherapy Offered...People are not their diagnoses even though these labels can sometimes be informative. I prefer to get to know you. Specifically, what do you want out of therapy? What is currently working for you, not working? What brings you in to see me in this moment? I believe that therapy is not only about reducing our suffering, but also finding meaning and fulfillment in our lives. It is about getting to know ourselves, parts that we love, parts that we are afraid of, parts that we don't yet understand. People are also not things that need to be "fixed", instead, this is a place for healing, self-compassion, and growth.

I am passionate about empowering people to thrive and fulfill their potential as well as achieve greater life satisfaction. I have worked with many people who are navigating difficulties to be able to gain greater levels of confidence and growth. I use a collaborative and goal-oriented approach in therapy. I seek to help clients build on their strengths and ultimately to be able to experience life more fully.

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. But, if you want to go far, go together.” Life is like an arena, and sometimes we want to throw in the towel. Sometimes we don’t see ourselves where we want to be in our lives or careers. We have habits we can’t break. Our relationships leave us frustrated. Or they don’t exist at all. We’re tired, lonely, and overwhelmed. Maybe it seems like the only one to blame is ourselves. But… We Always Have A Choice! It’s my mission to help you learn to take the reins of your life. Together, we will maximize your chances for success, your sense of fulfillment, and your freedom to choose for yourself.

What if the things that make you different are actually your strengths? My clients often come to me feeling worried, depressed, disconnected, or overwhelmed-- sometimes, after they've already been trying for years on their own. In our work together, we help you find relief, self-acceptance, positive change, and real growth by building on your unique strengths. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most valuable tools we have to help you feel centered, empowered, and strong. We all deserve to feel seen and accepted for who we are by someone who cares.
