Therapists in Charleston, IL

Hello - Are you feeling stuck, confused, uncertain, sad? Life often presents us with challenges and obstacles that limit us in reaching our full potential. As a licensed therapist and nationally certified counselor with 25 years of experience, I would love the opportunity to help you become "unstuck" and reach that full potential. I typically use cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy in a safe and collaborative environment. My hope is by working collaboratively, you will experience insight, growth and empowerment that will lead to a life of happiness, positive change and improved coping strategies.

I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor in the state of Illinois and Missouri. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I have experience in helping clients with managing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression; improving motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence; exploring sexual orientation and gender identity & coping with life changes. I am also comfortable assisting individuals facing challenges presented by adjustment issues, depression, grief, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma (PTSD), body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria, and other long-standing mental health concerns.

You deserve to live a life that you love. There are many people who see therapy as something intrusive, not necessary or believing that 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 only goal as a therapist is to help you achieve your goals and to 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.

Accepting new clients. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds to develop individualized treatment strategies and use measurement-based techniques to ensure that we are on the right track. I am a proud Christian, devoted husband, and loving father to four children. I am a licensed and board certified Clinical Psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience providing psychological assessment, treatment and consultation to Department of Defense and other U.S. Government personnel across the world. I am a proud Army veteran, who served 11 years on Active Duty, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I believe that therapy is the most successful when there is a trusting relationship between the therapist and the patient. In order to establish a connection, I strive to meet my patients where they are through providing an open and safe space which allows them to freely express themselves without judgment. We all have a story to tell and every story is different. Often times, between the lines of the story lies the clarity that allows for healing and forward movement. My goal is to read between the lines and help patients fill in the blanks.

Successful clients want change and I help people make real changes with the powerful and amazing tool of self-hypnosis. I have been practicing as a hypnotist/hypnotherapist since 1997 while also serving as a Pastor of several churches. My clients want to overcome fears, test anxiety, smoking habit/addiction, overeating, lose weight and increase confidence.

The therapeutic environment offers a unique opportunity to share, confront, and enhance parts of ourselves while exploring and discovering deeper traits and skills that we may possess. As a therapist, I believe in empowering the individual through therapeutic experiences that foster a lasting change outside of the therapy setting. I cherish the opportunity to engage in this relationship and commit myself to doing the work with you and supporting your exploration. I value modeling transparency, care, boundaries, and healthy support systems. I believe that challenging dialogue in a safe environment leads to internal growth.

Often times life can get tough. It can affect you, your marriage/relationship, your family, your children, your ability to parent, your self-worth, and more than anything, your ability to overcome any obstacles you are facing. I believe within each of us we have the strength to overcome the impossible. Out of pain comes something stronger, better, and the ability to thrive. I believe you already have the answers you seek and you contain the ability to change the worst circumstances. Sometimes our paths are hidden by everything weighing us down, which can make us feel overwhelmed. This can prevent us from seeing a way out...

Many humans suffer from emotional distress and psychological symptoms due to aversive life events. Often times, negative experiences can become “stuck” in our brains impacting how we perceive ourselves, others, or the world. Our beliefs about ourselves can become skewed and negative.
