Therapists in La Grange, IL

If you are feeling sad, anxious, and alone,therapy can end the loneliness and create a space to explore and eliminate the underlying fears. Together we may identify the parts of you that are isolated and need understanding and compassion. I believe that therapy is a safe place to address pain and confusion while creating everlasting change in your innermost self. I offer a respectful and collaborative approach to dealing with lifes's difficult moments.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families, my goal is to provide a safe and warm environment that will allow you to process past and present struggles without feeling judged. I have dedicated much of my clinical practice towards helping adolescents and adults of all walks of life, regain their power and self-confidence in the wake of a stressful life event. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma, grief, loss, or day to day struggles that are weighing them down.

Exploring a difficult relationship, understanding why parenting feels overwhelming, or managing your anxiety more effectively can be steps on the path towards mental health. My goal is to help you reduce self-judgment and increase insight into the changes you have the power to make. Together, we create a reprieve from life's demands and focus exclusively on your needs. When we understand our experiences more holistically, symptom relief and confidence often follow.

I see therapy as a way for you to get free of the habits and perspectives that bind you, so that you can create the life you really want. So much of what makes us suffer is the chasm between how we think things ought to be and how they actually are. Therapy is an ideal way to reconcile these differences, to identify tools that will help you cope with challenges and make the most of your strengths. I use existential and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy to work with clients on issues including life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress and career concerns.

With over 30 years experience, I have worked with children, adults, families, and couples. I value trust and empathy in the therapy relationship. I value conveying the sense of hope for change and wellness. I have extensive training in the psychodynamic process, CBT, and substance use disorders. I also am trauma informed. I am passionate and enthusiastic about my work with clients. I incorporate a client's strengths rather than just "problems" when talking with clients. I work with clients of all ages, ethnicity, cultures, religious backgrounds, and gender identity.

Life comes with a lot of constant worries and concerns. Most people can start to feel lost in life on some level, unsure of how to find their way. Perhaps you can relate.

Improve your relationship with yourself and those you choose to share yourself with. Get to the root problems and solve those instead of using band-aids. Really feel joy.

We all have times in life when it would be beneficial to talk through and process challenging life events with a trained professional who is non-judgmental, empathic and firmly believes in an individual's internal wisdom towards healing when provided the right resources. Often life has a way of throwing us curveballs. It helps to have another person participate alongside us as we figure out how best to cope.

Hello! The therapeutic process is an intricate journey that allows you to reconnect and discover your true and authentic self. Therapy will support you in working through past and current experiences that are negatively affecting your relationships, job, and personal performance. My goal is to meet you where you are by creating a safe and non-judgmental space to help explore ways in which your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are limiting your ability to live life to its fullest.

It takes courage to seek support, and the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment. I understand, have experienced, and can empathize with the emotional challenges life has to offer. Working together, we can cultivate growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that can help you gain control of your life. Ultimately, therapy can guide you to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life.

I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families coping with a variety of issues. My passion is seeing people find their own potential and realize they are the masters of their own change, healing and happiness. I practice from a belief that often people become stuck in overwhelming problems from their past; current life stressors; or fears of the future and change. My goal is to help you move forward and be able to have new skills to take with you to apply as needed as you move on with your life.

I am here to help and facilitate the change you want. As a therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and believe it to be critical in the success of therapy. My goal is to build a strong relationship with my clients by creating a compassionate, respectful, nonjudgmental, and empathetic environment. I aim to build a trusting relationship that assists clients in reaching their individual goals.

Most come to therapy for relief from distress. While therapy can relieve this, it can also be the gateway to deeper self reflection & discovery that awakens new meaning in our lives. I strive to build a therapy that honors your unique preferences & personhood, focused on the power of exploring your own experiences, strengths, & values. I am passionate about challenging the systemic oppressions that do us harm, and creating compassionate practices of resistance in response. My specialties are in facilitating connection in relationship, cultivating radical self acceptance, & growing trust in both mind & body.

We are all on this journey to find meaning in life while alleviating suffering. We want change, but don’t always know how to make it happen. Without realizing it, we may have developed an inner voice that is self-defeating, and habits that are holding us back or causing us to feel stuck in the same patterns. Therapy is an opportunity to grow, heal, and activate long-lasting change. By fostering a mindful and cognitive-behavioral approach, we can tune into our inner world to better understand who we are and how we function in our relationships. When we deepen our understanding of the self we can truly heal and show up authentically.

Depression, anxiety and stress can rob us of our everyday happiness. Reaching out for help can be a first step in bringing your life back into balance and feeling better.
