Teletherapy for 60077

During these complex times, we are presented with extremely challenging issues that demand resourcefulness and perseverance. No one is immune to pain and suffering; the sharing of it is a courageous and healing act. I specialize in helping clients develop strategies to cope with anxieties, fears, depression, hopelessness and helplessness. I bring many years of expertise providing supportive, interactive, strength-based treatment and a client-centered approach, using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and psychodynamic therapy.

My ideal client is someone who is a highly sensitive individual seeking a seasoned therapist for a transformative journey. You might consider yourself naturally curious, you've navigated various approaches without finding lasting relief, and you're looking for a creative and nuanced approach. You may crave confidence and autonomy but find yourself struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, and disappointment in yourself as well as your relationships. From my experience, I know how to effectively support you in envisioning and manifesting something that is beyond your ability to imagine just yet.

I work together with my clients on what is meaningful to them and honor the uniqueness of each person's concerns without judgment. I believe the more someone feels accepted for who they are, the more they are able to focus on their strengths and initiate change. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, healing past traumas, trying to improve your relationship or looking for parent guidance, I work hard to provide a safe space for you to reach your goals. I am versed in many evidenced-based practices: play therapy, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, ACT, and tailor therapy around your goals and needs.

I specialize in working with resolving depressive and anxious symptoms related to trauma. We will work together to find resolution to the pain and allow you to lead a more fulfilling and healthy life. I understand that the effects of trauma can interfere with all aspects of our lives. We will work together to allow you to feel more capable of managing life's stressors and develop healthier relationships. I also work with couples on healing unhealthy and painful relationship patterns. In couples work, we will develop tools to learn how to resolve conflict and increase safety in the relationship.

If you are motivated to show up for YOURSELF in a new way I am here as your trusted ally on this sacred journey of life! As a Holistic Psychotherapist, it is my passion to accompany you as you invite your full self; body, mind and intuitive/wisdom center into the therapeutic process--creating opportunities for insights into thoughts, emotions and behaviors that support and empower you. I have extensive experience working with individuals seeking healing and peace from issues related to trauma and abuse, mood management, disordered eating, loss and grief, relationship challenges and personal/spiritual fulfillment.

I believe that healing can occur within the context of a trusted relationship. I work with adults and families to help people better understand the things that are getting in the way of living a full, productive, and satisfying life. That could be a child’s struggle with emotional regulation, a parent’s difficulty with triggering behaviors or understanding how to manage challenging moments, or an adult who struggles to develop and sustain intimate relationships.

Are you grappling with your sexuality and spirituality? Wrestling with your identity or self-esteem? Relationship or singleness woes? Hello, I am Myron Krys (short for Krystopher). I believe therapy is a journey toward connecting to your True Self. This means interrogating life-limiting-beliefs and reframing false narratives. Coming from a strength-based approach, I believe you already have the necessary tools inside of you to thrive. Our work together will be to excavate those hidden gems, dust them off, and let them shine.

I see therapy as an opportunity for fostering personal growth and achieving emotional maturity. We all face challenges and struggles at various points in our lives. Failure to overcome these challenges can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression and may impact one's relationship with family and friends. While we can't change the past, therapy can help uncover long-standing patterns and behaviors that can get in the way of fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. I will help you understand the problems you are facing and find meaning and solutions that work best for you.

Each and every person is born with unique strengths and vast potential to achieve. Oftentimes, though, life's challenges get in the way. It may be external stressors, traumatic experiences or our own dysfunctional thoughts and patterns of behavior that make it difficult to live a satisfying and fulfilling life. Entering into a therapeutic relationship of acceptance and trust can serve as a turning point for achieving growth and change.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I am passionate about guiding individuals through personal journeys toward mental and emotional well-being. I have experience working with individuals and groups focusing on issues like depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, and grief.

I am a bilingual, Puerto Rican, therapist with a passion for serving LGBTQ+ individuals and relationships, as well as immigrant populations. I believe that therapy often reflects the complexity inherent in life and it brings me joy to learn about and with my clients as we move through that complexity together. I enjoy working with people from different contexts and backgrounds. My clients bring stories of discovering themselves and their place in the world.

The world can be a frightening, difficult place, and we all need a safe place where we can feel seen, valued, and appreciated for who we are. My practice is primarily informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a client centered base. I believe that a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of all change. I have and still do work with a wide range of clients from diverse backgrounds and with diverse presenting concerns.

I work with individuals, partnerships, and families who may be facing relationship friction, grief and loss, sexual exploration, LGBTQ+ identity issues, and first-generation experiences.

Marriage Whisperer! That's what a recent couple called me after one of our sessions. The reality is that I've been fortunate to be trained by Harville Hendrix, an expert in the field of couple's therapy and the founder of Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago therapy is a state-of-the-art system that gives couples of all kinds, the knowledge, and most importantly, the TOOLS to help each other give and receive the love they want. I work with couples both in my office, and in the weekend "Getting the Love You Want" workshops.

My first goal in the therapeutic process is to create a trusting, safe and collaborative relationship. Through active exploration, it is my hope that you will uncover insight into thoughts, emotions and behavior that will empower and support you in transforming your life. I recognize the difficulty of developing and maintaining a sense of self that reflects a value of inner worth rather than outer societal or familial ideals and expectations. My intention is for you to become the person you really are and from that place, make choices leading you towards a greater sense of wholeness, peace and well-being.

Welcome to my practice. I strive to build meaningful connections with my clients because the relationship between the client and therapist is the primary vehicle for change. I am empathic, compassionate, and work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, life transitions, and challenges unique to seniors and the LGBTQ community.

I seek to support families, adolescents, and adults with finding more connection and joy within their relationships. My expertise lies in working with children and families with an extensive understanding of child development, trauma informed practice, and psychotherapy of young children. I also have experience providing therapy to individuals with symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as offer support to those undergoing life transitions. My hope is that we can build a therapeutic relationship that serves as the foundation for creating change and healthy relationships.

I am an individual and couples therapist in Skokie. I have worked extensively with adult clients suffering from anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, depression, and relationship issues. I have also worked with families in distress and children experiencing difficulties at home and in school. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and take the time to form unique, quality relationships with each and every client.

Are you well educated and yet feel overwhelmed by life? Is anxiety or depression making every day a struggle? Are you unhappy in your relationship, going through a life transition, or reeling from a major loss? Do you have noisy inner critics who make you feel bad about yourself.? When you feel out of balance maybe your self-care goes out the window. You feel off, not yourself, simple daily tasks of life become difficult. Maybe you are irritable with the people you care about the most. Maybe you want to talk to someone but are worried you will burden your family or friends.
