Psychodynamic Therapists in Carol Stream, IL

There are times in life when we find ourselves stuck. Whether you're facing a difficult life situation or patterns that continue to present themselves in your life, I can help you explore and work through these challenging issues. I work closely with my clients to create a safe, non-judgmental space to process stressors and life issues and find ways to manage them more effectively, helping my clients to live a life they deserve. It is my emphasis to help clients see their own power and strengths, to create positive change in their lives.

During my career as a therapist, I have gained the expertise in joining a person "where they are at" while developing an environment of safety, security and mutual respect. I have been told that my voice and manner quickly communicates friendliness and kindness, and that people overall, find that I am not at all intimidating and very easy to talk to. I provide an integrative supportive approach that allows for healing and growth. I combine Motivational Enhancement with Cognitive Behavioral interventions to assist in identifying the unique qualities and strengths of each person I work with to evoke change and emotional wellness.

Too often life brings us the unwanted, the unwelcomed, and the unexpected. These things are often deeply painful, cause us to struggle, increase our stress and overwhelm, and cause us to feel very alone. If this is what you are experiencing, you don't have to be alone in it, as therapy can help. You deserve to be heard, cared for, and supported. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, being triggered by past trauma, or battling with chronic pain or illness, we can work together to untangle the things that hold you back, so you can create the life you want and deserve. You will be able to heal, grow, and thrive.

I believe wholeheartedly in the healing power of authentic and meaningful human connection. I believe growth and change are best fostered in an environment where you feel heard, seen, respected, safe, and valued. As a therapist, it is of the utmost importance that the therapeutic work we do together be a completely collaborative process. I feel passionate that the relationship we have with our emotions, especially the painful ones, dictates the quality of our lives. As humans, we all struggle with painful feelings, whether from loss, anxiety, illness, or changes.

I specialize in "Moms," working mostly with women throughout different phases of motherhood including those trying to conceive, soon-to-be, new and seasoned mothers. Protecting and supporting mental health throughout each phase may look different for each client; however, my approach is always centered on creating a warm, supportive and relatable space. I focus on connection and find space for humor. I normalize so much of what women experience along this journey in becoming "Mom" but also provide real skills to use in daily life.

Anne Kellstedt Ramirez, LCPC is an experienced professional counselor in Wheaton, IL. It is hard to have peace of mind if we're not connecting well with others, or at war within ourselves. When we are nourished in supportive relationships, we are less vulnerable to depression, anxiety and addictions. I've been assisting adults of all ages who are looking to make a change in their lives. It is a deep privilege for me to journey beside my clients as they grow, and my therapeutic style is warm & collaborative. One of my passions is treating mental health professionals, or anyone looking to become more genuinely themselves.

My passion is to help people discover more about themselves in order to identify what skills they need to function at their full potential, as well as the path to get there.

I believe in a client centered approach, therefore I am passionate about building a relationship based on trust, safety, and understanding.

I assist clients with changing the narrative of their stories. The client is the expert regarding their life; however, I guide and/or challenge each client by refocusing them back to their targeted goals.
