Therapists in Lake Zurich, IL

We are a cooperative of professionals who are dedicated to providing effective, thoughtful, and compassionate psychotherapy. At Stableway Counseling Services we work to provide our clients with highly personalized therapeutic care and understanding. We would love to see each individual experiencing life at their full potential. However, we understand that there are many things that can get in the way of that. It is our hope to offer a space for others to explore, grow, learn, and become the person that they would like to be.

Are you on a mission to heal your body, soul, and spirit as you detox from physical, mental, emotional, or religious trauma? Perhaps you’re highly sensitive to the unseen realm and experience intrusive thoughts, disturbing dreams/visions, or paranormal activity. You’re well acquainted with betrayal, and often feel rejected, neglected, or abused. Ultimately, you long for an authentic connection with God, self, and others, but find it difficult to uphold healthy boundaries. You’re seeking a trusted ally to hold sacred space for you to discern God’s voice, process through the pain, and develop a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.

Welcome! Your needs matter to us. At Restorative Healing, our number one priority is to make sure you receive the best care possible, and we only accept clients who we know we have the skills to treat. We provide individual therapy for adults, adolescents, children, and families. When you call for your first appointment, we take the time to listen and assess which therapist will be the most compatible with you as a whole. Whether you’re dealing with unexplained anxiety, a difficult life event, or you’re just feeling stuck, we will take things at your pace and do our best to meet you exactly where you're at.

I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy. D.), a Masters of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology, and 7 years of experience working as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). I have conducted treatment for individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have extensive expertise in clinical psychopharmacology, which enables me to comprehend the biological foundations of diseases. I have experience working with both adolescents and adults to address a wide range of illnesses. I take a holistic approach to counseling, which means that in addition to ACT, DPT, CBT, and mindfulness, I use a combination of other techniques.

Early relationships have a huge impact on who we become as adults. Therapy allows you to start untangling your past to see how it connects to your present. I support adults, teens, and couples of all kinds in their journey to heal the things that are keeping them stuck by highlighting their strengths and building resilience. The things you need to heal, are already within you. I offer both solution-focused interventions aimed at easing your emotional discomfort and long-term depth work to discover what's at the bottom of that discomfort.

Life can get overwhelming and sometimes it’s difficult to regain your balance, heal from your past, or find your direction. Talking with a counselor can help you to discover and use your own strengths to reset, restore, and move forward. I work in partnership with my clients to build a relationship that encourages growth; we start from where you want to start – and I support you at your own pace to get to where you want to be. I work to create a calm, nonjudgmental, and validating space where you can feel safe enough to share your thoughts and experiences.

Congratulations on seeking help, searching for a therapist is scary and a very brave step you can take in making changes. Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and lives. I start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and we celebrate your successes along the way. I offer an inclusive, safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of clinical experience working with adults from a myriad of backgrounds. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy with warmth, authenticity, and empathy. My primary areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, depression, disordered eating, career concerns, parental stress, women’s issues, life transitions, and relationship issues. I pride myself on consistent education and self reflection in cultural competency to ensure I am able to justly provide services to all communities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have over 48 years of experience as a mental health professional. I have vast experience counseling clients with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and relationship difficulties while working with high-risk populations, the elderly, and supervision. My most common theoretical approaches are Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Strength-Based, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Supportive, and Clinical Supervision & Licensed. I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment and assisting my client in clarifying their goals for treatment.

Some of the issues people who find benefit working with me are anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, struggles with shame, feeling frozen in life, difficulty in relationships in their personal life and/or at work, feeling disconnected from self and from others, physical symptoms that do not have a medical explanation, developmental or complex trauma, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, being frequently and/or easily triggered, issues with spirituality, and other.

I enjoy working with adults, teens and couples. My areas of expertise include Grief, Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Parenting, Managing Anger and Impulse Control. I also assist clients working through their life changes and career goals.

Relationships of any kind can cause pain and confusion. It's hard to know what went wrong or why cycles of toxic relationships keep happening. People are drawn to loved ones for caring support. When these relationships become hurtful, it is common to feel isolated, trapped in your own home, and desperately needing clarity and peaceful stability. While the pain is real, there is great joy in taking steps towards healthier relationships. You deserve all the trust, encouragement, and companionship that positive people can bring to your life.

If your child or adolescent is struggling with emotional/behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, self-harm or suicidal ideation, please know that you are not alone. For the past 18 years, I've been working with families to regain a sense of peace in their homes and in their lives. Living with a child who is emotionally dysregulated takes a toll on the entire family. Together, we will set goals towards change. Your needs will drive the type of therapeutic approach I utilize. Riley, my therapy dog certified through Therapy Dogs of America (TDI) often joins me in sessions based on client preference.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a lifelong passion of working with children, adolescents, and adults improve their levels of social and emotional well-being. I have over 20 years of extensive experience working in private practice and in the public schools as a school psychologist and school administrator. I also provide individual therapy, cognitive and academic assessments, and school consultations. Over the span of my career, I have treated ADHD, substance abuse, bipolar, psychotic and personality disorders.

I am passionate about providing culturally responsive and language accessible care. I am able to provide services in both English and Spanish. My passion is in providing culturally competent care, empathy, and understanding in order to foster confidence and healing. I have experience working with a continuum of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, and immigrant/generational trauma.

Relationships are complicated. Some relationships take so much energy that you start to wonder if they're even worth the effort. This may apply to a spouse, significant other, or even a parent. A relationship that once felt love, now feels painful and exhausting. Maybe you're finding yourself full of anxiety or feelings of depression, and it all seems to lead back to this one person. . . Who you love. It's time to get therapy for yourself, so you can get a handle on these feelings, figure out what to do next, and start healing.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is reach out and make that phone call for support. When a part of you realizes the issues or struggles are beginning to feel too overwhelming to manage alone. Although it may not feel like it at the time this is your inner strength that has always been there wanting to guide you forward on your path... Maybe you may feel stuck in certain areas of your life and wish to move forward but are unsure of how to do that. Or you have placed the needs of others before your own. Perhaps at times you might even feel unworthy of help. This is the time to invest in yourself and your potential.

I strive to help clients develop the self-awareness and coping skills to manage problems as they arise. I utilize mindfulness and acceptance strategies as well as cognitive behavioral skills to assist clients in making positive changes. I believe that with skills and support, problems can become manageable.

I view therapy as a rare opportunity to nurture your inner world and be truly "seen" by another person. Healing begins when you confront your pain, hear your own voice, and rewrite your story all while feeling validated, understood, and accepted. Being human is hard, but the more you embrace your humanness in a space free from ridicule and shame, the more you can begin speaking to and treating yourself with compassion and curiosity. My approach works best with people who are open to cognitive behavioral interventions (i.e. habit reversal training, cognitive reframing, cognitive defusion, exposure exercises and assigned readings).
