Therapists in Williamson County, IL

Do your emotions impact your life? Does life at times seem so overwhelming that you do not have control over what occurs. I am here to help guide you on your path to taking back control and loving your life. An ability to voice your pain will allow you to begin healing your psyche. As a therapist I offer non-judgemental acceptance. Most of my work has addressed a crisis or tipping point that has brought the client into treatment. I work with women on issues of self esteem and developing boundaries in their lives, couples who are struggling with anger and misunderstanding and with geriatric issues.

Hello! My name is Monica. I am a counselor by profession and by nature; even the meaning of my name is "counselor". I have a Master's Degree in Social Work, with over 15 years of experience. I am also certified to administer Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, treating children and adults of all ages.

My hope is to offer clients a new and different perspective, and empower them to attain greater insight. I believe that every client possesses the ability to find their own path that leads to meaning, joy, and fulfillment in their life. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, or other traumatic experiences. We also address family and relationship issues, such as boundary setting, difficult life transitions, emotional abuse, and social trauma. My ideal client is one who is ready to do the hard work of self-reflection, and to seize control and responsibility for living their own best life.

Dedicated to helping individuals recognize and optimize themselves to their full potential through self-empowerment.

Sometimes in life we struggle with understanding why or how we ended up where we have. I believe that most of us attempt to manage the best we can given our current circumstances, struggles and challenges. Even then life can still seem insurmountable. I want you to know that change is possible, but doing it alone may feel like an added burden. I will work with you collaboratively to navigate the challenges at hand. My goal is to provide an unbiased, welcoming, and therapeutic environment.

You deserve to live a life that you love. There are many people who see therapy as something intrusive, unnecessary, or believe they will be judged. As a therapist, I believe that the connection built between the patient and therapist is the foundation that can lead you to the life that you want to live. My goal is to help you achieve your goals and see you become happier with the life you are currently living. Yes, sometimes therapy can bring up painful emotions, memories or events, but this pain can lead to growth and a better life. Life is too short to let the traumas of the past keep you from the life you were meant to live!

I have a deep understanding of the physiological effects of trauma on a developing brain, in addition to the behavioral implications of trauma. Knowing that one can not necessarily change the past, but understanding and many times reprocessing traumatic events can be the first step to healing. Working with adolescents and young adults to reframe thoughts and find healthy coping skills are just a couple of ways to begin the journey. Everyone has a different past and set of skills. There is not a one size fits all method. I get to know each individual and as much about a situation in order to find the best route for improvement.

Welcome. The first step is often the hardest. My goal is to provide a safe space that lets you feel welcomed. Judgement will never be placed on you. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. I want to help you move through this tough time in your life. It is time to start your journey of healing.

My ideal client is someone who feels "stuck", "checked-out", "burned out", "unmotivated", "hopeless". My ideal client is someone who knows what it feels like to fail to live up to who they'd like to be, and would like to move towards a more meaningful life. My ideal client is someone whose coping strategies have had more downsides than upsides.

My ideal client is a child who either has suffered through trauma or has a hard time with their environment, making friends, anxious, or depressed. I enjoy interacting with the children, playing, coloring, and having a fun therapeutic environment.

Do you feel overwhelmed with some of your life circumstances? Have you experienced trauma: a divorce, job-loss, traumatic birth, difficult diagnosis, or domestic violence? Are you depressed, struggling with low self-esteem, lacking motivation, or needing help transitioning through life? I believe that every individual has what it takes to succeed and live a fulfilling life. Sometimes, we have to go through the darkest storms to see the brightest rainbows. Without the right tools and a safe non-judgmental space, it may feel impossible to weather the storm on your own.

Here at LifeThrive Counseling we believe you can unlock your full potential. We believe in focusing on the whole person, not just the person's symptoms. We believe sometimes we need need to look outside of the box at more advanced treatments. When adding these treatments, true change can occur in disorders that are often thought of as permanent or treatment resistant. Some of the disorders we have worked with and seen positive change in include: ADHD, anxiety, dysthymia, major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorders, attachment disorders, OCD, personality disorders, and more.

Rome wasn't built in a day" is often a quote I attach to therapy. Therapy is building a vision for yourself that you're happy with that will keep you going from day to day. Life is often seen as half empty or half full and it's my job to help you see that life has all sorts of unexpected positives. Throughout therapy some things might be considered difficult or challenging, but as your therapist it's my goal to make sure that we come out the other end better than the session prior.

Life is hard. Everyone walks through tough times, and no one should have to do it alone. It is my goal to walk with my clients through trials and see them emerge a stronger, healthier version of themselves. It takes courage to ask for help, therefore everyone who walks through my door is treated with respect and met with empathy and compassion.
