Beacon Health Options Therapists in Homewood, IL

We work with a diversity of people, all ages, who deal with a variety of life stressors. Job/school stress, mounting anxiety, persistent sadness, parent-child problems, divorce, panic, LGBTQ concerns, life transition, and grief and loss are among the issues we most commonly work with. Our approach to therapy is first to really understand you as an individual - your goals, your areas of concern, your family, your job environment, etc. Sometimes, we find diagnostic tools helpful in clarifying issues and generating therapy goals. We work to hear and understand your needs so together we can improve the problems.

Sometimes life's matters can be really overwhelming and you feel alone or unable to make it through. However, with help and support from a neutral source your healing can begin. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in social services working with children and families. I began my career as a case worker in 1994 and decided to pursue a Masters in Counseling in 2004. Since 2008 I have been providing individual, couples and family therapy to those in need.

At some point in life, most of us face challenges that are too overwhelming or challenging to handle on our own. Counseling is a wonderful way to get support, guidance, knowledge, and perspective around these issues, and it can make the difference between struggling and thriving. As a counselor, my goal is to help people through their challenges and struggles, and get to a place where they are happier, healthier, and stronger. I provide a warm and welcoming presence where you will feel comfortable addressing your struggles, and together we can create solutions you can use to live a happier and healthier life.

I believe that, given adequate time, space, and resources, all individuals are capable of self-directed change regardless of their presenting problem. I also believe that therapy can often be the missing factor for those who seek but are unable to successfully make positive life changes on our own. As a counselor, I facilitate change by working with and through the client. As client and counselor, we work together, as a team, to best meet the client’s needs by setting, and then pursuing, realistic, attainable treatment goals.

Are you ready to start feeling better? You don’t have to do it alone. You’re here because you’re ready to take a step in your journey to wellness. You've got big dreams of living a happy, purpose-filled life. With my help, you can bridge the gap between real-life challenges and mental wellness. Together, we’ll create a results-oriented game plan to get you from where you are now, to where you want to be. As an Anger Management Specialist II with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I have a long track record of helping clients develop the skills needed to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and phase-of-life changes.

Under the best of circumstances life is not easy. Sometimes we face challenges in our lives and just need someone to listen, care about, and guide us. There's always hope for change and if you are willing to put in the work, there is someone willing to help and that someone is me. Having the courage to take the pathway of change is the first step. Together lets work to make a difference.

I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process. From this perspective, I have developed an individualized approach in which the relationship provides a safe place where feelings and behavior can be explored. Often, current struggles have developed over time so that connections can be made to past experiences. With this understanding a person can begin to make changes which lead to greater satisfaction and happiness. I bring a solid eclectic knowledge base to the process, drawing on individual dynamics, relationship dynamics, and an understanding of human development throughout the life cycle. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents (including their families).

Life is full of challenges. We often have a plan and destination then something unexpected comes along to knock us off our path. We can choose to learn from these obstacles or allow them to hinder our growth. This practice will help you take a realistic look at your circumstances and assist you in working towards healthy resolutions and support healing.

Knowledge of self is the core of complete education. My role of facilitator is to recognize and identify your "gifts" (interests, talents, motivations etc.) so that you can apply your knowledge of self on your life journey. I am culturally sensitive and have worked with diverse populations across various ages, cultural groups and orientations. I have utilized psychotherapy for 10+ years as a means to reduce/eliminate numerous disorders (such as Depression, Anxiety, etc.). Rasidi Consulting Associates believes in connecting community, family, and self. Rasidi works holistically and collaboratively to treat the whole person.
