Psychoanalytic Therapists in Glen Ellyn, IL

Rachel’s goal in therapy is to provide clients with a strong, stable sense of self and the confidence to live more honestly in relationship with others. As a therapist, Rachel draws heavily on her psychoanalytic training, helping clients access unconscious thoughts that may be affecting day to day life and relationships with the belief that insight itself can be liberating. Rachel’s approach extends beyond the psychoanalytic and is integrative, pulling from behavioralist models as well as family systems and attachment theory when and where appropriate. Rachel works primarily with adolescents, adults, and couples.

We are all faced with challenges in our lives and we need help managing life’s stressors. These stressors often lead us to behave in a way that may cause even more difficulty. If you are having trouble with depression, anxiety,or relationship issues then you are not alone.

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

Feeling wrecked with worry or sadness on the inside, while trying to remain "happy" on the outside? The power of therapy can remove that mask once and for all. If you can't shake this nudging feeling that something isn't right, while attempting to juggle all of the responsibilities you have; it's time. It's the greatest work of this lifetime to take a deep dive and explore things that might seem scary or just easier to avoid. You are exactly where you need to be, this is the first step. Go for it!

Each individual has a different journey to walk, filled with obstacles unique to one's life. I walk with individuals as they explore the depths of their life stories and the impact that has had on who they are presently. In addition to exploring one's past we also deal with the here and now and explore what's keeping one from living freely and more fully in the world. My hope is that through our work together individuals will be able to find more degrees of freedom in their life and their relationships. I specialize in depth-oriented, psychotherapy.

People that are looking for professional mental health services come from all ethnicities, backgrounds, and walks of life. Some are in the twilight of their lives, while others are just getting started.

Others may find themselves repeating distressing patterns in their lives or feeling something's wrong, unable to verbalize or comprehend their pain. We will work together to make sense of your experience through insight and emotional understanding.
