Out of Network Therapists in Crystal Lake, IL

Do you feel like your emotions are getting the best of you? Do you feel like you could be a better parent or partner? Do you feel like you are drowning with no hope in sight? My purpose in working with you is to help you deal with your emotions more effectively so that you can improve your life. Too often people have all the ability and just don't know what step to take next. My purpose is to help you make those decisions. We also added a new therapist to handle the increased demand of kids (12-18). Together we both have over 30 years of experience working within schools. Erin Miller - profile also on Psychology Today

We all experience times where we feel overwhelmed, stuck, struggle with a negative mindset, and need guidance to find new ways to cope. Furthermore, I realize that we often tend to prioritize our physical health over our mental health, increasing our chances of experiencing the “domino effect”. I encourage my clients to look at therapy as a consistent “check-up” purposefully focusing on both their mental health and overall well-being. I am an active and engaged therapist that will work with you to provide guidance, unconditional support and gain insight for dealing with emotional pain.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to navigate the challenges in life that we face to find healing and wholeness. My role as a therapist is to offer support and tools that help you live a life that is more genuine, fulfilling and aligns with your goals and desires for yourself and your family.

I enjoy working with diverse individuals from all walks of life as my experience has been eclectic. Working with folks who need to temporarily borrow some hope as they build themselves up is a welcome experience. I am energized by clients who know what they are looking for and equally interested in clients who are therapy first timers. I am fulfilled by working with LGBTQ+ clients, adults, trauma, OCD, complex anxiety, and clients with past incarcerations. I am passionate about holistic and integrative treatment! I am here to help you build up your skill set to handle life transitions, live a better quality of life and find meaning!

Life can be complex and complicated. Situations can become an overwhelming entanglement of emotions, fears, hurts, etc. Difficulties can stem from a life transition, traumatic event, relationship dynamic, a buildup of experiences, or a general dissatisfaction with life. Together we can better understand your patterns of thoughts and behaviors to discover and change those that no longer serve you. Replacing these with positive thoughts and habits will help you to experience a fuller, more satisfying life.

Through my own personal experiences, education and professional experience at varying levels of care, I understand the impact anxiety can have on one's life. I am committed to supporting individuals on their journey to recovery. I honor that each journey is different. I strive to join alongside you in that journey, integrating compassion, motivation and humor in our work.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness..more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. However, through therapy our associates have our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a family systems based approach using behavior methods.
