"I would like to introduce myself to you. I facilitate counseling for individuals of all ages as well as work with couples and facilitate groups for women who are struggling with self-esteem issues and relationship problems. I believe that the greatest act of courage is to submit oneself to the truth. There is no healing in hiding. I consider psychotherapy to be a process an individual takes part in to help him or her discover self-awareness as well as be encouraged to express one's feelings and to eliminate unhealthy thoughts and behaviors."

"I specialize in helping children (3-8) and their families with challenging behavior, strong emotions, or relationship issues. Working with young children successfully requires specialized training and experience. I treat children differently because children are different in how they communicate, understand, and learn. They engage best by showing and doing rather than sitting and talking. With my extensive training in Play Therapy, Family Therapy, and Trauma, I have the knowledge and experience to address challenges on their level, in their language, through play and other age-appropriate activities while providing support for parents and other family members."

"I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, families, and individuals and am committed to collaborating with each person to provide a non-judgmental, personalized therapeutic experience. I am dedicated to helping others to understand their difficulties and to create healthy ways to value themselves and others."

"We provide excellent psychological and holistic care for patients struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, weight loss, infertility, and other psychological and medical problems. We prioritize medication free approaches to treat patients' psychological and physical ailments. With collaborative efforts of psychologists, chiropractors, massage and naturopathic therapists, we get to the roots of your mind and body problems effectively and naturally. As a multi-disciplinary team of holistically oriented health care providers, we work together to create an effective, comprehensive treatment to provide lasting health optimizing solutions."

"Many of us have or will experience emotional difficulties at some point in our lives. Sometimes it is not easy to overcome these roadblocks and we end up stuck in our emotional development. There are times in our lives when we need help to work through something, to regain our focus or to feel connected. I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief & loss, and depression. I believe healing is possible."

"I believe in the importance of creating a warm, safe, and collaborative therapeutic environment to help clients explore and confront life challenges. We will join together in therapy to identify what may be getting in the way of leading the life you want, manage and solve problems, and make healthy decisions towards a well-balanced life. We will process how to navigate difficult life situations utilizing your inner strengths and insights, while offering new perspectives and strategies to find the best path towards healing and growth."

"Whether you seek relief from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, PTSD, relationship difficulties or other challenges, I am excited to collaborate with clients who desire to live their unique lives fully, participate in their healing process and seek to establish genuine, compassionate relationship with themselves and others! I believe most of us are doing our best to become who we hope to be, and can benefit from seeking appropriate support. Therefore, I don’t see a diagnosis, but an amazing human who wants to thrive despite life’s many challenges. "

"I understand it takes courage to ask for help. The right therapeutic relationship should be a useful tool to help overcome life's challenges. I want to offer you a place where you can safely share your concerns and learn new ways to cope with the struggles you encounter. I provide a safe, supportive atmosphere which is free from criticism and offers direct feedback and suggestions. Our work together helps you better understand yourself and have more insight into your relationships. I will collaborate with you to find new ways to communicate and feel more life satisfaction."

"Most men face challenges and carry emotional and mental burdens that are nothing like what their father or grandfathers experienced. One of the obstacles that may keep you from asking for help is the mistaken notion that to be a "real man" you must be able to handle your problems on your own. Unfortunately, that kind of isolation actually makes it harder to find satisfaction with yourself, your relationships and your career. None of us were ever intended to face our issues or challenges alone. To seek counsel and support is a sure sign of wisdom, courage and strength."

"In every stage of our lives we can experience events that wound, frighten, or disable us, threaten our well-being individually, and as a couple or a family. Throughout 32 years of working in mental health I have had the privilege to help people from wide ranging stages of life and varying problems."

"Life can be stressful enough without deciding on a counselor! This decision probably isn't as scary as actually picking up the phone, making the appointment and doing something about your situation. If you fall in this category, please call me and make an appointment; I cater to chickens! Look at this as an opportunity to do something proactive -I have a common-sense approach to therapy. Together we can clarify the issues, move towards change so you can feel empowered. You had the courage to find this website, keep going."

"My practice includes work with adolescents and adults dealing with life struggles and challenges including but not limited to: interpersonal conflict, trauma, social adjustment, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress management and behavioral issues. Focus includes supporting problem-solving abilities, enhancing emotional coping skills and initiating lasting behavioral changes. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an insight-oriented problem solving approach."

"I have been in practice in the Chicago suburbs for over 30 years experience serving individuals from adolescence through adulthood in individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. Although my practice is a general psychological practice, I maintain specialties in the areas of anxiety disorders including phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictions including process addictions and sexual addiction, and attention-deficit disorder in adolescents and adults. I am a licensed psychologist in Illinois, and hold certifications in the treatment of sexual addiction (CSAT) and multiple addictions (CMAT).

"Hi! I believe anyone can benefit from having someone to talk with about different life situations. I work with individuals and couples, specializing in helping those struggling with Anxiety, Grief, and Marital Issues. Anxiety is a struggle for so many people today. My therapy focuses on helping you learn to cope with and relieve the symptoms you feel hold you back from living the life you want. With Grief and Loss, it is powerful to have space to mourn, heal, and move forward. With couples, we will work through the problems as we build on what you already do well!"

"As a therapist, I feel it is important to create an environment where people feel genuinely heard as well as safe to address the challenges and obstacles they face. I believe the most successful results are determined by the quality of the connection between therapist and client. I am relational in my therapeutic approach and offer different treatment methods to address the individual needs of each person. I focus on a positive, strengths-based approach so that new strategies are developed to promote change and growth."

"Hello! My name is Dan Gleason and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and trained to work with individuals, groups, those seeking career counseling, and families. I am most interested in working with people struggling with ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, Tourette Syndrome, relationship problems, spiritual concerns, and finding direction in life. I strongly believe in building trusting relationships and having enjoyable, life-changing conversations in a therapeutic environment."

"I have a warm and open relational style that communicates value and worth to my clients. My goal is to elicit your own strengths to make the change that you want. Too much guidance takes away your own autonomy, and too little keeps you confused, but finding the balance is one of the keys to good therapy. My clients appreciate my client centered and accepting style and most of my referrals come from previous client's recommendations. I have extensive experience with addiction, codependence, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, OCD, perfectionism, and ADHD."

"The Internet today can be accessed 24-7 by a variety of means. While it is a valuable and even necessary tool in today's world, most people are not aware of its dangers. It cannot be used safely without basic information about its addictive properties, particularly in regards to pornography and sexual conversations. By the time addiction becomes apparent, significant damage has already been done to the lives of individuals, families, and society at large. A large part of my practice is dealing with men and couples who have been affected by Internet pornography or sexual addiction."

"Throughout our lives, we will find that pain is all around us. It may range from a mild irritant to seemingly endlessly overwhelming. The severity is often times not the 'challenge' but rather finding a way to share and process while life carries on around us. Through a combination of narrative and solution focused therapy, in my therapy room, you will always have a place to pause and share the pain with the opportunity to overcome and strengthen yourself. You may be experiencing pain but I encourage you to let this pain serve a purpose."

"Are you struggling with important relationships? Are you feeling anxious or depressed and seeking ways to find peace and joy? Are you finding it difficult to cope with the challenges of day to day life, divorce, parenting issues or family conflict? Seeking guidance through therapy is a sign of strength and wisdom. "
