Elders (65+) Therapists in Chicago, IL

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from New York University with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health. In my clinical training and work, I have experience providing psychosocial services and therapy within both the New York City Public School and Public Hospital systems as well as a residential treatment school at the University of Chicago. I have years of experience working with clients ranging from early childhood to seniors and with a wide range of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, and psychosis symptoms.

My expertise lies in helping people of all ages, from children to seniors , who are struggling with issues such as life transitions, anxiety and depression, relationship problems, family conflict, problematic behavior patterns, coping with divorce, death, and other types of loss, parenting challenges, and childhood trauma. My goal is to help my clients better understand their own feelings and behaviors so as to reduce emotional suffering and make positive changes in life.

I am very dedicated to my clients. I work in a reflective and empathetic style, and offer collaborative input toward their personal growth and self-compassion. I strive to build a welcoming partnership with them over time, in which they can feel safe to verbalize and explore their true feelings within a supportive and trusting clinical alliance. By gradually deepening their own awareness of themselves via this process, my clients are often able to overcome emotional obstacles, have more satisfying relationships, feel a greater sense of freedom and curiosity, and more fully engage in ways they find fulfilling.

I am a solution focused therapist with 35 years of experience. My therapy style is cognitive, interactive, compassionate, and, if need be, challenging. I believe effective therapy should produce change, not just insight. I will listen to you deeply, help conceptualize the problems, patterns, and dynamics which are causing you trouble, and give you feedback. Together, we will develop a strategy for more effective functioning and a better quality of life. I have a general practice, but specialize in addictions, depression, anxiety, and couples therapy.
