Therapists in Lincolnwood, IL

Anxiety, anger and feeling down diminish your quality of life. These intense emotions reduce personal comfort and disrupt important relationships. I have partnered with many clients to mobilize personal strengths and abilities to address these issues. I utilize easy to understand, direct and effective short term counseling. I am open, understanding and view therapy as a path to personal growth.

Therapy is a process and it can be difficult for people to navigate; I hope to ease the stress of this process and make life easier for you. It's incredibly hard to reach out for support when you feel at your most vulnerable or are overwhelmed. Many folks need a listening ear or an objective third-party who doesn't pass judgement...and that's where I come in. I'm here to: help you process what's going on in your life (or maybe even that deep stuff from childhood...?), offer clarity, provide coping skills, and support you.

Hi. My name is Garrett, and it's brave of you to reach out. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I provide services for Illinois residents by phone, online, and in office (Lincolnwood, IL). In therapy, my goal is to foster a safe environment for which we can develop a trusting relationship to help face your opportunities for growth.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I am humbled and grateful for the many opportunities I have had to work with adults seeking counseling assistance. My experience spans a broad spectrum of issues including relational concerns, grief and loss, healing from trauma and abuse, career counseling, and negotiating "stage of life" transitions. The special counseling needs of "twentysomethings" is a particular area of expertise. By fostering a counseling relationship defined by compassion, guidance and understanding, my clients learn to build on their strengths and make the changes required to clarify and reach their personal and professional goals.

Making changes in your life can be hard to accomplish - especially when you find yourself repeating the same patterns of behavior despite your best efforts not to. In therapy, I would work with you to improve your self-awareness, understand your emotional style, and learn new ways of relating to the important people in your life. Using these new insights, you can begin to make the changes you want, feel better about your choices, and enhance the quality of your relationships.

I treat children, adolescents, couples and family in a variety of therapeutic means. I have used cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, EMDR, behavioral, and eclectic therapies in addition to others. I also have experience working with behavioral, mood, anxiety, conduct and other specialties. I appreciate diversity and love working with others of various cultures, abilities and races.

Welcome. You have arrived here because something isn't right- relationship problems, difficulty achieving goals, grief, bouts of paralyzing sadness, anger or fear, not feeling meaning in your life. I offer 30 years of professional and personal development and experience to my work with individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents. I hold a safe, nonjudgmental space where problems and conflicts are freely explored and clients reengage their life with a sense of renewal and possibility. I mediate this process with compassion, intelligence, sensitivity, and a genuine desire to join with you through whatever troubles you.

Do you ever stand back and take a look at the big picture of your life and wonder how things ended up this way? Do you feel unhappy with your choices or situation, but unsure about how to start unraveling barriers and start moving in the direction that you want? I can help you examine your choices and behaviors, big and small, understand how they might be keeping you stuck or unfulfilled, and collaboratively find your power to make changes that bring you more in line with the kind of life you want and deserve to have.

In my practice you will find that my approach in working with clients is based on understanding, compassion, creativity and collaboration.

Dr. Debra Wolff is a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with adolescents and adults, as well as couples. Whether individuals are coping with anxiety, depression, effects of trauma, or relationship conflicts, the therapeutic relationship can help patients achieve healing and strength.

Stories have always been important to me. I find myself inspired, enthralled, and humbled by the stories of people and their relationships with each other. I believe in the importance of honoring each story I hear and working with clients to help their life be as they imagine it to be. I find value in working with my clients to understand the impact of their important relationships to their lives. I love being a therapist and I feel humbled and fortunate every day to be in this profession. My approach to working with clients is to get to know their narrative and help them identify the obstacles that are constraining them.

Are you feeling stuck and stressed out, or perhaps not feeling good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough? You may think that no-one understands you, and you may even think, “What’s wrong with me? Other people don’t seem to have these problems”. All of these thoughts and feelings can be very distressing and can have a negative impact on your relationships, happiness, and productivity. I will provide support and understanding as we seek solutions to those areas of your life causing you the most concern.

Do you want to positively and successfully transform your life? You deserve to authentically live and appreciate the joyous greatness of your life. We all have history, but I believe the most productive work happens when we focus on the present moment. Your present moment is where you truly have the most control. Your present moment is where you build, strengthen and fortify the positives within yourself and the world around you. I will work with you to actualize your journey of hope, connection, and change by sharing empowering relationship tools that you can immediately and effectively implement.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide counseling services to individual, couples, and groups. I'm comfortable working with a broad spectrum of issues including relationship concerns, life transitions, developmental struggles, self-esteem, loss and grief, and healing from childhood sexual abuse with young adults, adults, and seniors. In addition, I have worked extensively with college students, staff, and faculty in colleges and universities.

Therapy is the process of coming to live as our best selves. This involves a complex dance of change and acceptance. It's this process that I so appreciate navigating together with my clients. Some people reach out to a therapist because of challenging life-adjustment situations. Others are pushed into therapy by family, friends, or employers when they are in highly distressing situations. Either way, change is possible when we're willing to show up just a little bit.

Working from an integrated Solution Focused/Narrative Therapy framework, you can expect that I will adjust my approach to help you wade through and resolve conflicts, emotional paralysis, betrayal and other relational problems, with a newfound sense of agency, hope and courage. While the problems that bring couples in for therapy may seem daunting, perhaps even feeling insurmountable to some, my work builds on the notion that problems are given their greatest opportunity for resolution by cultivating safe, loving, and secure relational attachments.

I see my role as a steadfast guide in helping my patients to deepen their connections with others and live life more fully. Oftentimes, we are not fully aware of the habits of thinking, feeling, and acting that shape our daily internal and interpersonal struggles. To live life in a more attentive and skillful way, it helps to discover the emotional and relational habits we live by, where they came from, and what keeps them going in the here and now. Habits that were once useful may now limit our ability to connect with others and find joy in living.
