Female Therapists in Crystal Lake, IL

My name is Maddy Hesslau and I offer individual counseling services primarily to teen girls and women . I know firsthand the courage it requires to reach out to a therapist. First, know that I am rooting for you in your healing process. Not only is reaching out to a therapist a courageous step but so is advocating for yourself and finding the best fit. The therapist-client relationship is one of the most significant effects to change. You or I may not be the best fit- however, I hope to hear your story and offer an idea of what the therapeutic process may look like in our counseling journey together.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Reaching out for help can be stressful and scary but it doesn't need to be. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental and comfortable setting to women where we will work collaboratively to address any issue and worries.

Currently, I am accepting new clients! Drawing on 15 years of experience as a clinical therapist, I am shifting my area of practice to helping women of all ages live their best life. My belief is treatment should focus on developing an emotionally safe relationship to create an environment you are comfortable sharing your truth. My practice approach is primarily client centered and solution focused. I enjoy exploring life struggles and providing the tools to help you navigate through them.

Are you experiencing anxiety, sadness, family discord, or depressed mood? Are you in a relationship that makes you feel powerless, devalued or unimportant? My focus is to empower women to overcome their fears and face life challenges with confidence. Together we can discover your strengths and develop new ways to approach and solve problems and transform your life from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Once a woman understands herself and is able to recognize her triggers that hold her back from living up to her potential that is the beginning of the healing process and unleashing the power within.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to treat people experiencing relationship problems in a unique and effective way - much of the time this includes research-driven tools and techniques that with time will help you get the relationship you desire and deserve! I am dedicated to my clients' pursuit of stronger romantic relationships as well as relief from anxiety or depression that has been holding you back from living a full life. As a results-driven therapist and person, my goal is to provide you with the insight and practical tools you need to improve your relationship and your life.

While I enjoy working with all clients, I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, women and elders; specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and parenting, to create a more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I received my doctorate from the Adler School of Professional Psychology. I work with children and families, as well as teens and adults utilizing Individual and Family therapy. I find importance in practicing types of therapy that allow me to understand a person from their own perspective, honor their potentially difficult past, while helping them through a potentially difficult present. I focus on a person’s needs and what might work best for them.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending" -Maria Robinson.

“Healing takes time and asking for help is a courageous step” (Mariska Hargitay). You don’t have to heal alone, engaging in therapy for you and your child is the first step in helping you both heal. Therapy can be a tool used to help you and your child learn skills to make the world feel safer and happier. Please allow me to help you and your child live a more peaceful and calm life. I specialize in working with children and teens who have ASD, sensory processing issues, behavioral issues, anxiety, and ADHD. I also involve parents in the therapy process, as parents play a vital role in helping their children grow.

Life is hard but harder when we deny that fact. We get "stuck", unmotivated, we give up. My practice is "real", it's comfortable and down to earth. It is a safe place free from judgement or criticism. You will be heard and validated and in that there will be growth and change You will find freedom from whatever is keeping you from being the person you want to be, from whatever is keeping you from experiencing the fullness of life. It's all about you. Let's get you out of your head and into living. If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” -Maya Angelo

Been there, done that. Scrolling on...If I asked you to list 5-10 ways to decrease anxiety, improve your relationships, or reach your goals, I bet you could think of at least a few examples fairly quickly. Maybe, you've already tried those strategies yourself. Thankfully, Mental Health strategies and theories are not in short supply. However, just because you might know what you're "supposed to do" to feel better, change your thought patterns, or improve your family dynamics doesn't mean it's easy to actually do it. Humans are endlessly adaptive, yet persistently stubborn. We just need to figure out what works for you.
