Hello, My name is Firas Qureshi and my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment during therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with my Master’s degree from Roosevelt University.

I am here to work with you, or your loved one who if suffering from an addiction and seeking healing and support. Addiction is a disease that affects the individual, family system, and those who care. It is a struggle that can stem from generations of pain. In addition, I work with women and men to assist in addressing relationship issues, sex addiction, porn addiction, anxiety, anger and depression.

When unforeseen circumstances present themselves in life, everyone can benefit from extra support. The opportunity to change and improve your life starts when you seek out professional support and guidance. I am a practical, effective and compassionate therapist. I work with adults and adolescents clients to help improve the quality of life by dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, self esteem, phase of life issues, substance abuse, anger, relationship issues and grief.

Ask yourself these three questions... 1) Am I happy? 2) Am I doing what's best for me? 3) Am I in control of my life? I believe that everyone should have the potential to answer yes to those questions and lead a less stressful life. My approach as a counselor is to be encouraging, supportive and collaborate; and help individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, marital issues and job stress. I help people to create positive and lasting change in their lives and aid them in achieving their personal goals. Assessments can be conducted in as little as one office visit.

If you are feeling confused or frustrated, helpless, angry or isolated, schedule a time to talk with me about strategies that will empower you to work toward identified goals and bring balance back into your life. With certified professionalism, I will attentively listen to your specific situation and goals, and intelligently advise you along a path to an improved quality of life.

I will work collaboratively with you, providing you with tools to help you overcome the struggles that you are facing.

I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds for the past twenty three years. I am confident that I can help you if you are willing to take the steps necessary to change your life. The first step is to have the courage to reach out for help when you need it. I will provide the professional care that you need in a safe, caring, and comforting environment.

Finding a therapist you match with and trust is the key to successful therapy. I believe therapy allows us to process events we have been through as well as to decompress. My heart is working with first responders and spouses. As a wife of a first responder, I know first hand the difficulties this line of work can often bring into a relationship including communication and job-related stress. In addition to working with the first responder population, I also work with teens, young adults, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational issues, and stress management.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your therapist. My name is Katlyn Cizek and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology in 2018 and since then I have been providing counseling services in various settings to a diverse population with a range of presenting concerns. I understand the importance of creating a safe space free of stigma and judgment in order to build a rapport before any deep therapeutic work takes place. I use a person-centered approach, which allows you to share personal experiences and process emotions at your own pace.

Do your worries seem endless? Are you struggling to find a sense of inner peace and calm? Life can be extremely overwhelming. It is my hope to support you as you tackle life’s hardships. For over fifteen years, I have had the privilege of treating individuals, families, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, infertility, and countless other challenges. Regardless of what has brought you to consider therapy, I believe we can work together to improve the quality of your life.

Namaste! My name is Amanda Sneed, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nineteen years of clinical experience. My experience includes working with various individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, difficult life transitions, and trauma (including working with women in a domestic violence shelter). I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and incorporate education and mindfulness approaches in conjunction to support each other. I firmly believe that creating a safe space for people will be essential to make connections during therapy.

I believe psychotherapy can help with almost anything. Sometimes clients come in needing assistance with making a tough decision, while other times they’re needing tools to help better cope with anxiety or depression. I feel called to work with younger folks - adolescents and young adults particularly. Adolescence can be uncomfortable and confusing. It is a painful time for teenagers. I am deeply passionate about providing them with unconditional support, empathy, and a safe space to share their emotions. As for young adults, I am passionate about helping them find the direction in which their soul is calling them.

I believe that therapy can be the key to unlocking your higher self, regardless of your place in life. Human beings have incredible capabilities and strengths but that can be difficult to discover on your own whilst facing life’s many challenges. I work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, addiction, interpersonal/relationship issues, trauma and more. I use an IFS-informed, eclectic approach to therapy with a focus on the therapeutic relationship and your relationship with your parts so that we can focus on who you are and what you need in an intuitive and compassionate manner.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed in your life and want to gain control back again? I am dedicated to helping people with the struggles they are facing by developing a caring relationship in which to work toward mutually determined therapeutic goals. I provide individual and family counseling and enjoy working with a variety of people.

At some point in our lives we will experience emotional and psychological distress. Most people will try to avoid or go through their distress without seeking help. People choose to do this because they are not sure how therapy will help them. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative, co-creative process between the client and therapist. If you or your family have been experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or just going through difficult times, please allow me to support and guide you in the healing process. Together, we can face and overcome life's stressors! Evening hours are available!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I believe the path to self-discovery and healing involves peeling back the layers of your old self. I will support you to shed the pain of difficult experiences, release unwanted thinking patterns and habits, leaving you empowered. I often incorporate experiential techniques that are dynamic and transformative without the constraints of traditional talk therapy alone. You are the expert in your experiences and together with my approach you will be able to create a future you desire. ****Se ofrece terapia en Español.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As solution-focused therapists, our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

You are stronger, braver, and more resilient then your mind gives you credit for; but sometimes those thoughts and feelings can overwhelm us to the point where we lose ourselves and the things and people we value most. As a therapist, my goal is to allow you to see your emotions and thoughts as just that and to reestablish the connection between your unique and individual values and the behaviors that support these. We as humans are all susceptible to emotional pain, but how we deal with this pain- be it the pain of change, loss, or inexplicable anxiety and hopelessness- can define whether we evolve from these or stay stuck in it.
