Stress Therapists in Chicago, IL

Are life's challenges becoming too overwhelming? Having difficulties managing your stress levels? Having trouble sleeping, racing thoughts, irritability, or a general sense of malaise? Are you "you're own worst enemy"? Is sadness, frustration, avoidance, low self-confidence/esteem, grief, difficulty letting go of past experiences, or family and life transitions having a negative effect on your overall functioning? Are you paralyzed by fear of success or fear of failure? Maybe you're wondering why you're so fearful? Would you like to reduce the drag of anxious and depressive feelings on your hopes and ambitions?

Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Feelings of anxiety and depression can occur during challenging times. We all have unique identities and ways of expressing ourselves, and we all view the world and our roles in it in distinctive ways. Non-judgmental, open-minded conversations within the context of a trusting relationship can help. Connecting with someone who can relate to your perspectives helps relieve stress and paves the way to lasting, meaningful change.

Hi I’m Leslie, and I’m excited to work with you! I work with adult clients (18+) on cultivating an awareness of the mind, body, and spirit connection by incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based practices, and energy work through the chakra system. I love holding the space for clients to learn how to sit with their feelings, turn down the chatter in their mind, and tune into their intuition. Whether we are using ERP (exposure and response prevention) to face your fears or meditation to learn how to let go, my style consists of down-to-earth humor, playfulness, and compassion.

Everyone encounters conflicts and obstacles in life. Sometimes it can be shrugged off, but other times we may feel overwhelmed.

Together, we will process your emotions and thoughts, experience healing, and develop ways to face life's challenges.

You’re a strong woman, but lately you haven’t felt like it. You've been trying to get back on course, back to a life that isn't constantly filled with stress and worry, but nothing seems to be working. It just keeps building and building.

It's impacting your relationships with the people you care about the most and even your performance at work. You used to feel strong and confident, but it feels like the old you was an entirely different person from who you are now. You find yourself caught in an endless loop of worries.
