Relationship Issues Therapists in Glendale Heights, IL

Welcome! My approach to therapy combines the empathy and support of traditional talk therapy with active, research- backed tools to help you overcome life’s hurdles and transitions. My clients and I have had great success with these methods in transforming relationships, overcoming depression, conquering anxiety, and gaining mastery of personal and professional challenges. My approach is both collaborative and directive; it is structured but not rigid.

Searching for a therapist may possibly the hardest step in your healing process. Working collaboratively, I can help you with: anxiety, depression, grief, maternal/perinatal stressors or relationship strain. With skill building, self exploration and reflection, we can consciously create a richer, more fulfilling life. I came into this profession to help other heal. You have my commitment to walk with you through your growth, providing the nonjudgmental support your healing requires.

I believe a good working relationship can be one of the foundations of effective therapy, and some of my greatest natural strengths lie in the area of creating a relationship with you characterized by safety, trust and collaboration. The working environment we create will be especially helpful for those with depression, personality and relationship issues. I am comfortable with shorter-term work, but also recognize that some work takes additional time with a therapist in order to explore issues in greater depth and to generate lasting and meaningful change.

I have a warm and open relational style that communicates value and worth to my clients. My goal is to elicit your own strengths to make the change that you want. Too much guidance takes away your own autonomy, and too little keeps you confused, but finding the balance is one of the keys to good therapy. My clients appreciate my client centered and accepting style and most of my referrals come from previous client's recommendations. I have extensive experience with addiction, codependence, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, OCD, perfectionism, and ADHD.

Are you struggling with racing or distorted thoughts? Has that impacted your relationships with others or even the way you see yourself? I believe that our past experiences impact our present lives, which can leave us feeling out of alignment with our true selves. By providing a warm, non-judgmental space, clients are safe to engage in self-exploration. By becoming self-aware, it can help lead to living an authentic and fulfilling life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by what life has brought to your path lately? Between juggling work or family responsibilities, trying to take care of those you love and yourself, plus the unexpected curveballs that inevitably come along, sometimes life can get pretty heavy and it helps to have someone to help carry your load. I strive to provide a safe space to explore your concerns and work with you to find creative ways to bring hope and healing.

I am a professional therapist (LCSW) dedicated to providing the best service possible to every client. I work well with individuals, and families dealing with a variety of concerns and issues.

Anne Kellstedt Ramirez, LCPC is an experienced professional counselor in Wheaton, IL. It is hard to have peace of mind if we're not connecting well with others, or at war within ourselves. When we are nourished in supportive relationships, we are less vulnerable to depression, anxiety and addictions. I've been assisting adults of all ages who are looking to make a change in their lives. It is a deep privilege for me to journey beside my clients as they grow, and my therapeutic style is warm & collaborative. One of my passions is treating mental health professionals, or anyone looking to become more genuinely themselves.

It is difficult to take a journey without a road map. Parenting a child with learning problems or emotional/behavioral challenges can feel like one of those difficult journeys. Schools and school districts have many resources for addressing a parent's concerns; however, sometimes additional resources are needed. As a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with school-aged children, I partner with parents, schools and other professionals to provide the answers to your questions.

I provide a warm, accepting environment, where my clients are able to feel safe to express themselves. I like to use humor, where appropriate, but I am very sensitive to the pain that my clients are experiencing. I believe that people can change and adjust at any point in life, when they are provided with good support.

I specialize in working with individual and couples to address relational issues, infidelity, dating, breakups, emotional engagement, intimacy, traumatic events and history of abuse. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and I work through a compassionate and trauma-informed lens.

I know the idea of therapy can seem overwhelming or frightening at first, but you should take pride in exploring your first step. I can help ease those fears and we can work together to address whatever may be getting in your way to living a happier, more fulfilled life. Everyone needs help at times, whether it requires addressing past issues or more current problems, and therapy enables you to receive necessary support, develop skills, embrace your strengths, and make desired changes in a safe, judgment-free space. As no two individuals are exactly alike, sessions are tailored to meet your own unique needs.

It takes courage to recognize when you are feeling overwhelmed and struggling to continue to carry the weight of everything on your own. If you are feeling unsettled, uncertain, unhappy, and/or you are struggling with a recent loss, chronic illness, anxiety, worry, depression, or stress, counseling can help. Therapy is a space where you can talk openly, be real, vulnerable, and honest, and it's where you will receive understanding, acceptance, encouragement. You deserve to be happy and healthy while feeling supported and cared for. Together we can find solutions and implement the needed changes so you can feel better.
