Therapists Beginning With T in Illinois

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who works with adults, couples, adolescents, and families having difficulties with anxiety, depression, relationships, stress management, chronic pain, and chronic illness. I use a cognitive behavioral approach supplemented as needed with interpersonal skill building, and education. I am solution focused. I provide clients with the tools they need to better themselves and/or their circumstances.

My approach is non-directive and is primarily based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. I see individuals and couples, age 15 and up. It is my goal to meet you where you are and provide a safe, supportive space for you to learn about yourself, make lasting changes, grow into the best version of yourself, and reach your goals.

Tradition has trained us to take care of others and be mindful of the feelings of others. We are seldom encouraged to focus on self preservation. Decisions made throughout our entire lives are often based on the expectations of others. We spend our time following the agenda placed in front of us. As time move forward, we question and eventually challenge the steps we've paved and why? It's never too late to recreate YOUR path, your life, your total peace and fulfillment. When we commit our time, we are committing our lives. Your life, your decisions. If you'd like I can assist you with your journey. Live life openly with no chains.

My number one priority, above everything else, is to making therapy an approachable and enjoyable endeavor. I am open to working with adult clients of all genders and sexual orietations. I regulary work with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, as well as life transitions. I am experienced in working with LGBTQIA individuals and use an affirming approach. I also enjoy working specifically with men stuggling with sexual functioning, intimacy issues, and anger management.

When people make the decision to see a therapist for the first time, they often feel a little anxious. My clients frequently say that I'm easy to talk to, and they tend to feel comfortable with me fairly quickly.

Hi there! I'm Tedra, a licensed professional counselor. Choosing the right therapist is important and can often times be scary! Therapy is a journey and who you choose to embark on that journey with is important. I am extremely passionate about helping others and providing a safe space for you to learn, grow, and heal. I have years of experience counseling adults (especially military veterans) on a variety of issues, including but not limited to; depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and recovery, and adjustment issues related to everyday life changes.

If you are ready to “tackle the tough stuff” in your life, I'll be here to help. I began my career in mental health working with families who were on the cusp of losing everything, including their children. Oftentimes, the members of these families could no longer find positives in their lives. They felt stuck and often did not believe things could change or get better. This soon became my “why” – to help those on the verge of losing all hope rediscover it. The moments I treasure most have been through the accomplishments — big and small — of those I've been honored to be able to serve. Each moment is amazing!

In so many areas of our lives, finding affirming care can be a difficult and exhausting process. For those of us who exist outside of normative understandings of gender, race, sexuality, and other identities, feeling fully seen and held in all of our multifaceted and interconnected expressions of self is a rare experience. As an individual, relationship, and sex therapist I strive to create a space where you can show up as your whole complex self. I focus on challenging narratives of what it means to be successful, worthy, valuable, and desirable and on making room for what feels good and true for you.

We are,first and foremost,scientist practitioners. Our practice is guided by the most current research available. The treatments we utilize have been shown to be most effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life among patients with anxiety, mood and related disorders. We focus on what works. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an umbrella term for methods that share a focus on thoughts and behaviors that maintain symptoms, willingness to try new behaviors, and patterns of relating to our experiences. Between-session practice of these strategies serves to consolidate gains achieved in treatment sessions.

Are you struggling with challenging emotions on a daily basis? Maybe you’re feeling irritable and anxious. Sometimes you find yourself overthinking and not clicking with the people closest to you. Have you tried everything but can't seem to move past one situation? If any of this describes your experience, you’re in the right place! I help clients control their response to challenging emotions, effectively adjust to change, and let go of things that seem to be holding them back.

My top priority as your counselor is to understand you as a whole individual and then reflect that understanding back to you. By focusing on the many unique identities that make up who you are, I work with you to tailor specific interventions that work for each individual I see. I firmly believe that hope comes from the development of skills and it is my job to help the hopeless develop and strengthen their skill set to face the challenges that work, life, and relationships may bring.

I work with teenage, young adult, and adult clients looking to work on managing their symptoms related to depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, life transitions, and other mood and thought disorders.

Why do I feel so stuck? Why are my emotions taking over my life? Why can’t I do anything right? If you are asking these questions, you are not alone! From here on, I am with you. I know what you are going through is not easy, but you are more resilient than you think. Together, we will channel your strengths and get you to a place of well-being. Right now, it may seem hard or even impossible to visualize a change, but I am committed to helping you work through any obstacles.

I enjoy making a connection with children and building trust with them through empathy, compassion, and education. We are then able to develop a relationship where I can help that child make a positive change in their thinking and behavior. I work collaboratively with parents and teachers to help facilitate these changes in the home and school environment. As both a school social worker and clinical therapist, I bring years of experience to help your child develop the skills necessary to overcome their individual challenges. I look forward to working with you!
