I have been in practice in the Chicago suburbs for years experience serving individuals from adolescence through adulthood in individual psychotherapy couples therapy. Although my practice is a general psychological practice, I maintain specialties in the areas of anxiety disorders including phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictions including process addictions and sexual addiction, and attention-deficit disorder in adolescents and adults. I am a licensed psychologist in Illinois, and hold certifications in the treatment of sexual addiction (CSAT) and multiple addictions (CMAT).

I desire to provide a safe place for you to explore the issues of anxiety, grief or depression that keep you from living life more fully. You may be struggling with low self-esteem or a loss of identity due to changes, such as loss of a relationship, life transitions, or loss due to trauma. You may find it difficult to move past shaming messages and would like to learn how to find your authentic voice in order to live boldly and with greater self-acceptance.

I aim to help children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with academic/social success. Whether dealing with ADHD, Learning Disorders, social skill deficits, motivation, or limited access to support services - a neuropsychological evaluation is the first step on the road to success. Children are often referred by their pediatrician, neurologist, classroom/ resource teacher, or school psychologist due to concerns regarding their functioning. Comprehensive evaluations are tailored to your child's individual needs. Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations typically include : intelligence, achievement/academic skills, executive functioning, learning and memory, language, visual spatial skills, coordination, social skills, behavioral and emotional functioning, and personality.

I specialize in the treatment of behavioral health disorders for motivated clients who are interested in collaborating and working to attain their goals. We will work together, primarily focused on the current situation and its solution, rather than the past. Through scientifically- supported methods, we will concentrate on your views and beliefs about your life, and how they are tied to your behaviors and emotions.

Accepting New Clients ***Telehealth (Video/Phone) Sessions Available*** Walking through the doors is the first and most important step in one’s journey of therapy. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families through difficult times and supporting them through those times. I know that each client is their own person, so I meet each client where they are emotionally and mentally, modifying my treatment approach to best aid each client in achieving their goals.

CHANGE your THINKING, CHANGE your LIFE -- in WEEKS, not years. Over 50% of my clients obtain the results they want within 7 sessions. “Children learn what they live; then as adults, they LIVE WHAT THEY LEARNED.” Often this is the basis for one's problems. Resolve your problems by learning new information and skills that I will teach you. “DON'T REPEAT PROBLEMS. RESOLVE THEM.” Research and my 25+ years experience document that this is the quickest, most effective approach to resolving problems to live a happier, healthier, more satisfying life. Medication treats symptoms, not causes; correct the causes. Reviews @ Healthgrades.com

As a therapist who works with adults, I use a collaborative, very direct and insight-oriented approach to therapy, so that our time together is effective. This enables maximum growth potential for my clients, whatever the reason bringing them to therapy may be. I believe the therapeutic process differs for each individual, and in working together, it is possible to identify the areas of oneself that could benefit from healing, change and improving emotional maturity.

My ideal client would be someone who comes into therapy struggling with life's problems. It could be mental health issues, addiction, relationship problems, family problems, low self-esteem, guilt and shame, or spiritual emptiness. These clients want to be able to function in their life and find some measure of meaning and purpose in order to obtain peace, serenity, and satisfaction.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Ordained Minister of the United Church of Christ. I am also certified as a Sexual Addictions Therapist and Therapist Supervisor through the International Institute for Trauma and Addictions Professionals.

I work primarily with adult individuals 20-80+ who are seeking greater depth in their lives or relationships. In practice since 1987, I have considerable experience in midlife and professional challenges; illness, loss, and grief; retirement and aging; relationships and sexuality; LGBT concerns; dreams -- and more. My practice is diverse but the common denominator is desire for growth and change, and a willingness to work together to achieve it. You can find more at www.stephenmartz.com

I work primarily with youth and families, adults and both established and premarital couples. I am certified to administer the PREPARE-ENRICH premarital counseling program, and have experience working with issues associated with abuse/trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, family and parenting challenges, marital issues (communication, conflict resolution, intimacy issues, etc.), self Image/identity, life transitions, spirituality, and men's issues. I also have experience working with the unique challenges that often accompany engagement in full-time ministry and/or spiritual leadership in various capacities.

We all start somewhere. And we all have progress to make. Our past and present experiences inform our future. Understanding our past helps us create a coherent narrative of who we are today. It sets us up for better success, both now and in the future. I enjoy working with clients who are looking to explore past and present relational dynamics, work through past traumas, find inner peace, or strengthen their connection with others. I value the opportunity to guide clients on their path toward self-exploration and I use evidence-based practices to tailor my approach to individual needs.

At Dupage Counseling Associates, we provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space to allow clients to share their story. We have worked with several individuals who are struggling with a life transition, grief/loss, trauma, relationship difficulty, anxiety, or depression. The most difficult part of therapy is making that first call. We are available to answer any questions or concerns you might have before making the decision to start the therapy process.

As a professional, and a parent I truly understand there is no greater joy than seeing your child happy and healthy. I also know there is no greater heartache than seeing your child unhappy. For adults: stress, anxiety, and depression can diminish time with families. For children: poor self-esteem, decreased confidence, bullying/ loss, academic struggles or a disability can impact friendships,family, and academics. I specialize in working with people who have experienced a twist in life that they were not expecting. I have 25 years of treating adults and children who want to reclaim control of their lives.

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.

I have been in private practice for twenty-six years and work with individuals, couples, and families. In person and telehealth appointments are available. I work with children, adolescents and adults at every stage of their lives. I have a diverse practice and have greatly appreciated the diversity of my clients' life experience. My work focuses on supporting growth and individual development as well as symptom relief. I have offices in Glen Ellyn and Chicago and would be happy to speak with you regarding my practice.
