Therapists in Lake Forest, IL

Hi there! It’s good to “meet” you! I’m Rebekah (she/her), and I’m a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth services in Illinois and Indiana. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and positive toward all lifestyles. If you’ve been thinking about therapy and wondering if today is the day, today IS the day. I’m focused on creating a safe, non-judgmental, trust-filled space where you can express yourself. We will work together to figure out a treatment plan that will meet your goals. I can help with many different types of issues and can offer many different models of therapy so we can find the exact right fit for you.

Do you have a toxic relationship in your life that is causing you stress? It could be a parent, spouse, child, sibling, teacher, coach, boss, co-worker, friend, neighbor, or significant other. Does this person trigger you to over-eat/under eat, use alcohol/drugs, or feel anxious or depressed? Do you have symptoms of C-PTSD? I am a holistic therapist specializing in empath/highly sensitive person (HSP), and narcissistic abuse recovery. I will help you build the inner resources to aid in healing the whole person; mind, body, and soul.

If you are a parent struggling with a behavioral or emotional concern your child/adolescent/young adult is having I can give you information and strategies to improve your relationship. I believe we all benefit from learning more about life’s developmental stages, and understanding the opportunities each one presents. Parents can learn new strategies to use that will be more effective and thus reduce their stress. If your child needs more support in school, I can provide information and advocacy based on my twenty years as a school worker.

Are stress, worry, and your long to-do list keeping you up at night? Are you stuck thinking about challenging relationships, old wounds, or traumatic experiences? I have helped many like you find their version of success personally and professionally and find inner calm by empowering them to create change. Many of my clients seek a supportive space to better understand hard experiences and relationships, explore emotions, examine thought and behavior patterns, draw on strengths, and improve their ability to cope. Together, we find the solutions to feel more joy, experience fewer sleepless nights, and reinvest in life positively.

If you're feeling lost or discouraged, know that you're not alone. I'm here to provide gentle empathy, encouragement, and guidance as you navigate your journey. Together we’ll work through the pain, discover what matters most, and create habits that reflect the life you want to live. I believe every person is naturally resilient and carries unique strengths that allow them to adapt and grow from adversity. My goal is to help you develop greater trust in yourself as you continue forward in life.

I am an experienced clinician and teacher who treats and teaches adults, adolescents and couples using a mindfulness based counseling model. I specialize in working with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, chronic illness and pain. I also teach classes in meditation and yoga.

Contentment and happiness can often feel elusive in the busy, complicated lives that we lead. Sometimes, understanding the reason for our unhappiness seems just as elusive. The way we feel about our true selves as well as the meaning we give certain events in our lives can effect how we cope with the challenges that come our way. Often, we find ourselves in situations that feel beyond our control to recover from. Deep down, you are resilient, and know life could feel better than it does.

As your counselor, I provide a safe and accepting space where all that you are is welcome with me.

Do you feel that aspects of your life are out of control and unmanageable? Maybe you are noticing a pattern of avoiding people or places you once loved, or a sudden change in appetite, energy, or drive. Or maybe you know something is “off” and can’t quite put your finger on what is missing. The first step to change and healing is sometimes an overwhelming task. It takes a lot of courage to say, “it’s time to do something differently”.

I am a passionate individual with a calming presence. I have experience working with children as young as five all the way through to adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disturbances, self-esteem, ADHD, autism and more. Through therapeutic intervention and hands-on learning, I aim to create a transformative environment for my clients. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I also aim to create a safe space for individuals to explore their gender or sexuality. No member of our community should feel isolated or alone, and I am here to be the support you need.

At times in our lives, we may be presented with challenges in which we may need professional assistance to assist in overcoming those challenges. The first and perhaps the hardest step is asking for help. Choosing to see a therapist can be anxiety-provoking and I believe that it's crucial to establish an objective and supportive working relationship with clients to help them achieve their goals.

I am the Clinical Supervisor at 360 Degree Wellness and Coaching as well as a clinical social worker, addiction counselor and a highly seasoned couple and family therapist. I am an approved supervisor with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
