Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Glen Ellyn, IL

Hello, my name is Jessica- I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. I am passionate about assisting clients with many diverse presenting challenges, some of which include anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-injury, self-acceptance, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and identity formation. I enjoy working with clients ranging from teens to adults and have a broad range of experience working in school, hospital, PHP/IOP, and outpatient mental health settings.

My passion is understanding stored childhood trauma and the long-term effects it can have on adults; particularly as it relates to addiction issues. Unresolved traumatic experiences very often render a person with feelings of anxiety and depression; particularly for those who were never given the appropriate tools and support to process their trauma. These emotional states can lead to poor coping skills in our efforts to meet life’s challenges, and very often anxiety and depression can lead us to feeling incapable of helping ourselves or ever changing our circumstances and clearly seeing our potential.

I believe everyone needs and deserves a safe space to address barriers preventing them from navigating through life the way they desire, thus I seek to foster safe and comfortable environments for those oppressed and marginalized. Living in unprecedented times, it is especially important to have support, awareness, and knowledge of effective coping skills to manage life's stressors. I believe it’s also important to process the lives we’ve already experienced and explore how this cultivates our current worldview.

Are you feeling stuck? Truth is I've been there, most of us have. The power of therapy can motivate, transform and instill hope in us all. Whether you're looking to learn certain life skills, going through a tough transition or just need someone to listen. I'll meet you wherever you are in your life to offer support without judgment.

Hello beautiful soul! I'm passionate about guiding my clients to connect with their inner selves, to find greater peace and fulfillment in their lives. My approach is rooted in a deep respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. I focus on creating a nurturing, holistic space for us to explore your challenges and opportunities for growth. I see you as a fellow traveler on this journey. Together, we will navigate the twists and turns towards self-awareness, insight, and clarity. Let's unlock hidden treasures, embrace the now and open possibilities for your future.

Have you ever told yourself, "I'm not good enough. I can't do anything right." How about, "I have my dream job, I'm married, and I make good money, but I'm just not happy." You're not alone. In my work, I've found that many people struggle with these feelings and beliefs. I can help you address these in order to achieve direction, clarity and confidence. I primarily utilize mindfulness, ACT and DBT during sessions. I tailor every session to the individual in order to provide the best treatment that I can.

My therapeutic approach is warm, casual, authentic, encouraging, and collaborative and I believe in using a strength based approach to assist clients in overcoming obstacles. I'm committed to helping clients identify goals, and provide the tools and skills necessary to reach those goals.

Hi there, my name is Felicity Dineen. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and I am so excited at the possibility of getting to work along side you. I have extensive experience working with adults and teens struggling with a wide array of life stressors including relationship struggles, anxiety/depression, acceptance of self, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and perinatal issues.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who is passionate about helping clients become better versions of themselves. I specialize in providing support for those experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and domestic violence. Furthermore, I offer trauma recovery for youth and adolescents, guidance for healthy teen dating, and values and goals exploration. I have about 10 years of experience in the field working with women, children, and families. I use therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy ( DBT ), and Narrative Therapy.

I know how difficult it can be to take those first steps in seeking out a new therapist. Life can be challenging in many ways and can be difficult navigating alone. I take great care in providing a safe and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their lives and various obstacles in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. Some of the modalities I use include CBT, DBT , ART, IFS, Psychoanalytic, and Holistic. Building a trusting relationship and witnessing each client's journey is what I find most fulfilling about my work as a therapist.

Suffering, confusion, and emotional pain do not need to be our experience. We deserve to feel content, happy, even joyful.

I provide tangible tools for the concerns and issues that my clients face, while establishing a warm connection that supports and encourages people. Though therapy can be challenging, my goal is always to help you experience a sense of relief and well-being that then carries into your everyday living.

"I understand what you're saying." How many times have you talked to someone and truly felt accepted and understood by them? My goal as a therapist is to make sure you feel heard. I know the importance of needing to be acknowledged during life's most difficult times. I have made it my mission to help people take steps forward when life wants to push them back.

Hey there, my name is David! My aim is to create a comforting and compassionate space for each of my clients as we walk together toward finding balance physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Therapy often includes exploring your story and where you have been. Unfortunately, this can be really difficult at times and this is really where I come in. My job is to create a space for you to feel empowered to explore your past, learn from it, and create new ways forwards. You don't have to settle for your old normal. I want to empower you to create a new normal.

Feeling stuck? Trying to get back the focus, direction, and passion in life? In an environment free of judgment and rich in support, I believe it is important to utilize my client’s strengths to help empower the change process. By identifying values and specific goals, together we create a path to lead us in the desired direction. With my background in the education field, I have seen how children, as well as, adults struggle with the routine of the day when there is something heavy on their mind. I strive to help my clients identify how to remove this heaviness, and lead the life they have been wanting.

I enjoy helping patients improve their lives. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I specialize in depression and anxiety that stems from relationship issues, peer issues, work problems, and school issues. Through education, life experiences, a family of my own, and a great deal of empathy, I feel that I can offer unique and confidential treatment. I have worked within private practices, hospitals, trauma centers, hospices and schools. Before counseling, I worked in academics, teaching, and financial institutions. I aim to provide my patients with the highest quality of care possible.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, I love working with children, adolescents and young adults. Focusing primarily on ages 8 through 40, I work best with those struggling with family conflict, life transitions, trauma, behavioral issues, mood disorders and anxiety. Teens and young adults needing support during the transition to college, or children struggling with behavior and mood dysregulation are some of my favorite clients to work with. Those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as those who struggle with eating disorders or substance use are also encouraged to reach out!
