Teletherapy for 60603

A enjoy working with people who are members of marginalized populations and those that hold unique identities and relationship dynamics. As a person-centered therapist, I aim to develop an understanding of who you are and your outlook on life. I’m curious about what systems and challenges you've faced, how they have influenced your life thus far, and how all this impacts your closest and most valued relationships.

I help clients navigating chronic Illness, grief, trauma and/or life transitions.

To me, therapy is about seeking wholeness; it is a journey of more fully integrating our minds, bodies, & souls. Many of us live trapped in patterns & scripts that weigh us down & that keep us from living full, authentic lives. As a trauma-informed therapist (& former spiritual director), I take into consideration the whole person, noting that past or ongoing traumas, wounds, & injustices shape the way we understand and engage with ourselves and the world. I help clients draw connections between formative past experiences & current ones in order to identify & shift those relational patterns & ongoing struggles.

Each individual has a different journey to walk, filled with obstacles unique to one's life. I walk with individuals as they explore the depths of their life stories and the impact that has had on who they are presently. In addition to exploring one's past we also deal with the here and now and explore what's keeping one from living freely and more fully in the world. My hope is that through our work together individuals will be able to find more degrees of freedom in their life and their relationships. I specialize in depth-oriented, psychotherapy.

It can be difficult to navigate the harm either caused by us or to us by the individuals, communities, and systems that play a role in our lives. In my work, I incorporate insight, nonjudgmental observation, humor, and curiosity to create an atmosphere where patients can deepen their understanding of themselves and begin to address this harm safely. To help you along the way, I offer an affirming, collaborative space that allows for spontaneity and authenticity to emerge in our sessions.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to navigate their experiences with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and life transitions through a multicultural and trauma-informed lens. I have experience working with women experiencing grief, domestic violence, and spiritual concerns. I believe therapeutic growth takes place when we begin to look within at our innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires. My psychodynamic approach will allow us to directly address your inner challenges and conflicts that have been causing suffering in your life in the context of a safe, supportive, and accepting therapeutic relationship.

Life can be tough. Have you been struggling with overthinking, grief and loss, feelings of hopelessness, substance use, or other debilitating issues? These problems can affect your relationships, career, social life, and other aspects of life. Don't lose hope! You are strong and resilient. It's okay to outreach for support when we need it.

It is my belief that the most important relationship we can cultivate is the one that we have with ourselves. This relationship is reflected in our everyday life and enables us to heal and grow. However, during challenging times we may need someone alongside us as we work to understand the inner workings of ourselves. I believe therapy is a space for you to show up as your true unedited self, free of worry and expectations. Together we will co-create a warm and empathic space where you can share your stories and begin to find peace, safety, and harmony with all parts of your authentic self.

I have a passion for helping individuals establish more satisfying, authentic relationships with others and with themselves. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, therapeutic environment that fosters well-being, healing, and growth. I strive to establish a collaborative, empowering atmosphere that strikes the balance between support and challenge. My style is generally warm, direct, and transparent. I am an empathetic listener and actively participate in sessions by sharing my observations, fostering insight, and sharing practical feedback to help my clients find relief and to effectively address the challenges of life.

Hi, my name is Ana and I provide online therapy at Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy. It takes courage to ask for help and even more so to do the hard work of being vulnerable and honest with yourself to explore parts of yourself that you may avoiding. I’m passionate about helping individuals, particularly young adults, going through emotional difficulties and issues related to identity, anxiety, depression, parenting, chronic illness and other health-related concerns. Together, we can discover the best way for you to accept and cope with your emotions in a way that’s uniquely tailored to your experiences and strengths.

My philosophy in working with clients is to build a trusting relationship with them by learning about their story - their family's story, their personal story, their triumphs and their challenges. I then work with the client to use their strengths to help them form a new story, a story where they change ingrained habits and live the life they have always wanted to live. I like to use the relationship we have built together to help the client feel safe making these changes in a supported environment.

Through research, education and clinical services, The Family Institute at Northwestern University is one of the nation's leading relationship-based behavioral health organizations committed to strengthening and healing the whole family system by bringing together the right partners to support children, adults, couples and families across the lifespan. As researchers, educators and therapists, we work with our clients and PARTNER TO SEE CHANGE. By weaving together 175 therapists and therapists-in-training, we create a high quality, collaborative system of behavioral health care. One that gets results.

The adage “we repeat what we don’t repair” is especially true of couples. Couples often start therapy knowing that their relationship can and should be better, but they feel powerless to change. Constant fighting, threatening to leave, infidelity, always feeling distant, anxiety and depression—these are signs that something needs to change. Couples therapy with me focuses on helping you and your partner break these cycles by first understanding how they came to be. I offer a unique perspective that emphasizes the importance of exploring unconscious dynamics and your past’s influence in your relationship.

We all long for rich, rewarding lives, satisfying work, caring relationships and good feelings about ourselves. Sometimes difficult life circumstances, self-defeating thoughts and destructive behaviors can keep us stuck in frustration and unhappiness. With years of successful experience helping people thrive and create flourishing lives, I can help you gain valuable knowledge to develop creative, practical skills to accomplish your goals and live in joyful, authentic happiness with open-hearted courage and confidence.

During life, you may feel sad, stressed, anxious, and you may repeat behavior patterns or establish unhealthy relationships. If you are going through something like this, going to therapy is the best opportunity for you to improve all that you believe is necessary. From my point of view, it is only through meeting with another human being that you can heal and be able to make transcendental changes. That is why within the therapy framework, I offer to create, to find, explore, and experiment with a unique space for each patient that will allow them to change and achieve personal and emotional growth.

Psychological suffering can be debilitating to the point where people can become hopeless, but I believe psychoanalytic therapy presents a unique opportunity to deal with suffering. Through the process of therapy, clients can work toward lowering the intensity of their symptoms, find freedom and meaning within their trauma, and strive to live authentically.

I believe that each individual has the power to become a whole and integrated person. I am a strong advocate of psychotherapy and my life experience and work in the field have led me to firmly believe that true healing is possible through a strong and meaningful therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with a wide range of concerns and diagnoses, from depression and anxiety, to trauma and ptsd related issues, and relationships and attachment.
