Life Coaching Therapists in Evanston, IL

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. Helping adults find overall balance and wellness is a primary focus of my practice. I have 20+ years of experience helping people with relationship/family issues, eating concerns, mood/anxiety disorders, interpersonal vulnerabilities and general work/ life stress. I offer a therapy relationship that provides a focus on psychological wellness and a non-judgmental and collaborative environment in which to work together on personal growth and a return to a more positive and fulfilled state-of-being.

With the right encouragement, guidance, and support, every individual possesses the strength and potential to work through their unique situation. I understand there are a lot of stressors in life that cause anxiety, depression, identity/relationship issues, past traumatic experiences that can cause disconnection. Sometimes we need to know how or where to start. The goal is to help clients overcome those challenges, reconnect and discover their ideal life . My approach is tailored to your unique needs and assists in learning skills and strategies to achieve goals through empowerment and identification of personal growth conditions.

Hello! I am currently offering Telehealth and phone sessions. Are you interested in personal growth and healing? I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is having the courage to look inward, while being compassionate with yourself so you can begin to move forward. I have been working with people for over 20 years towards (re)gaining mental and physical health through lifestyle approaches to wellness. I offer a research-based holistic approach, which looks at the whole person, while also integrating various therapeutic techniques to help you reach the deepest healing possible.

Seeking support is difficult! Whether you know what you need or are completely unsure of where to begin, I am dedicated to helping you figure it out. We will work together to identify what is not working in your life and create clear and accessible goals. Uncover the best version of yourself!

The decision to seek therapy is positive and courageous. It is important to find the right therapist to help you with your problems, to make it possible to feel capable and resilient. If you're someone for whom anxiety, depression or other issues seem to get in the way of enjoying life , we can work together so you can create a fulfilling life of your choice. For couples trying to rediscover that spark in your relationship, together you can move past hurts to forge the relationship you want. If you are struggling with not knowing your life path or career, we can focus on your inherent strengths and personality to develop your vision.

My primary goal for my clients is to achieve healing on the deepest level. As an Adlerian trained therapist, I utilize psychodynamic as well as alternative modalities to explore, transform and heal those perceptions and beliefs that may be negatively impacting their lives. Whether it's one on one, couples, or group therapy, I am actively participating, encouraging, and guiding my clients so they feel safe and supported to examine and process their deepest emotional wounds.

Bottling up feelings is hard work, even when they relate to hope and possibility! It can feel scary to face the things that we want, as well as the things that are holding us back. If you are interested in taking inventory of where you are now and moving your life in a new direction, I might be a good fit for you. I am a trained personal development coach and licensed psychotherapist who finds joy and fulfillment in helping women thrive.

Sometimes it is time to just stop. Stop believing that voice in your head that is so demanding, so critical, so unkind. Stop running, stop fighting, stop avoiding, stop numbing. Sometimes it is time to start. Start waking up, start feeling more alive, start coming home, start loving yourself and others more deeply than ever before. Becoming more present in this constantly beeping and flickering culture of ours is the major personal challenge of the 21st century. Feelings of joy and contentment take place now, not in the future or the past. Experiencing your feelings fully is the key to opening the door to a more satisfying life .

With over thirty years of experience, I love working with couples and individuals who are in all seasons of the life cycle - from young adulthood to later life . I specialize in helping people resolve complicated relationship issues and interpersonal problems. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results..." is a saying in 12 Step programs. If those words resonate with you, I will be glad to help you try to understand what your patterns are about and how to change them. I am especially sensitiveto understanding clients in their cultural and faith contexts.

It can be tough to feel seen, heard and understood. Even day-to-day life experiences can be painful if you're feeling alone and vulnerable and the idea of starting or restarting therapy and finding the right fit can be intimidating. You may worry that you wont find a therapist who takes time to understand you and what you're going through without judgement.

Hi! My name is Jihye (pronounced Ji Hae). My ideal clients are individuals having identity issues (feeling confused or losing themselves) and feeling suffering due to anger/anxiety/depression. I have extensive experience in working with children and adults, and I believe everyone has their own "twinkle twinkle." This is my philosophy in therapy and counseling. My goal for therapy is to help you feel alive and understand yourself in order to connect with yourself, others, and the world to grow. Personal growth always helps you be alert and open your eyes to perceive your twinkle, which has always been there, and loyal to your best.

I am Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in children, adolescent girls, families and woman. I have been working with families on Chicago's North Shore and surrounding areas, for almost two decades. Although my training emphasized an Adlerian approach to therapy, I have a broad range of experience with many therapeutic modalities and am able to tailor my practice to the needs of you or your family. I believe in treating the "whole-person," which means a one-size-fits-all approach will not work.

My style is collaborative and based in the belief that we all have the power to help ourselves. I provide a safe and supportive environment by consistently being warm, accepting and empathic, no matter what the issue. In therapy, we will work together to develop an objective perspective in order to identify what you want to change, and what you cannot change. We will then take action to build insight into your life situation, improve coping with difficult problems, and help you try new behaviors to reach your goal of feeling better.

Pursuing self knowledge takes courage. Sometimes it isn’t possible to do on one’s own. Doing so, however, leads to self- acceptance and clarity about the choices one can make to live the best life they can. Developing insight into your emotions, past experiences, and recognizing the you have choices empower you to feel more in-control of your life , capitalize on your strengths find the direction you want to take, to eventually discover and become who you want to be, as a parent, a partner, a friend, an employee, as your SELF. Every person deserves not just to survive, but to THRIVE,

I believe in everyone's uniqueness, authenticity, resiliency, and strength. I will guide you through the process of self-discovery, self-growth, self-love, and clarity. I assist individuals in setting personal goals and visions and working toward desired results and healthy life . Also, I work with couples who may need some guidance and support while navigating their relationships. My goal is for these couples to leave therapy feeling more connected and secure in their relationships. When working with families, I look at the family as a whole, and address transitions, divorce, trauma, grief, and marital/financial problem.
