Anthem Therapists in Chicago, IL

I am delighted to help clients with anxiety, depression, addictions, eating disorders, and relationship problems accomplish their treatment goals using CBT techniques. These techniques are powerful tools that helps people get better quickly. If you are willing to work hard in sessions, and do homework in between sessions. I am confident you can make excellent progress.

I assist clients with developing awareness and curiosity about how they have learned to navigate relationships and cope with painful experiences. I see the emotions that underlie these “default” responses as complex and physiological. By engaging with and expressing their full range of emotions, I support clients in increasing congruence across important areas of their life - something critical to finding purpose and forming meaningful connections in our relationships. Thus, I aim to help clients reorganize how they understand themselves through insight, attuned emotional awareness and increased interpersonal effectiveness.

I have experience in working with people attempting to cope with many concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relational issues, career & work situations, self-esteem and caregiver stress.

Congratulations for taking the first step towards a healthier you! As a Licensed Counselor (LPC) and Dance/Movement Therapist (R-DMT), I am dedicated to providing the space and support you need to reach your full potential. Coming from a body-based approach to therapy, I use the mind/body connection and a holistic perspective to assist you in navigating the speed bumps of life. Turning the volume up on what your body is trying to tell you through slowing down and learning your own body’s language, helps to foster healing and promote growth from within.

Sometimes life throws us challenges that are too overwhelming to handle alone. As a trauma informed and culturally sensitive therapist, I understand the importance of allowing space and time for healing in a non-judgmental space. As your therapist, my priority is that you feel comfortable as we work through these difficulties together. My approach is collaborative, as your voice is equally important. This is your lived experience, and my role is to help guide and gently empower you towards realizing a better version of yourself.

If you are ready to discover a better version of yourself, let’s talk. I believe therapy works best with collaboration, working together to find the most effective methods of meeting your self- established and recommended goals. My areas of expertise are within the LGBTQ community, including but not limited to gender identity, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD. I work with adults confronting anxiety, depression, mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief/loss, self- harm, and chronic stress.

Hello, my name is Carolyn Goosby, and I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and pastoral counselor with over 20 years of experience.

I'm resolution focused yet compassionate and at times utilize an eclectic situational framework.

Talk therapy initially can be helpful as an avenue to receive support from a trained professional. Therapists listen with compassion and curiosity as you begin to sort out what isn’t going well. Life’s difficulties can be complex. A structured conversation with a therapist will help untangle these complexities allowing the beginning stages of change to emerge. Work with a therapist can start the process of understanding what is going on, what has gone wrong, and also what can be done to start making improvements.

Hello. My name is Daffaney Burnside. I am licensed clinical therapist (LCSW). I am very passionate about counseling and supporting people in their clinical journey to creating a healthier version of themselves. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, childhood -present traumas and recent life adjustments: loss-grief, relationships, marriage, divorce, parenting and stressors within employment, school environments, etc. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations.

My special expertise is working with people who want to feel better. People who want to explore themselves, who want help in figuring out why they feel bad, and what they can do in order to feel better. I create space where you can feel comfortable to talk about uncomfortable things. I help people dealing with depression, anxiety, loneliness, grief, substance abuse; those having relationship issues, that would include couples/marital, parent-child, brothers-sisters, coworkers, or friends. You'll find out that you're not so different from everyone else; we all struggle.

It’s okay not to have your life together all the time. Often, we convince ourselves that there is a linear path to our goals; we may find ourselves ruminating on the past or so apprehensive about our futures that we can begin to feel frozen and unable to live in the present. Our inner dialogue can brainwash us into believing there is something wrong with who we are and that we deserve to be alone. As your therapist, my goal is to hold space for these feelings and reassure you: it’s okay to not be okay; you are still worthy of healing.

My work with clients is focused on providing quick solutions to life's challenges in a supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative atmosphere. I welcome all clients with positive regard to all races, religions, sexual orientation or gender.
