My name is Marisol Cruz, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have 24 years of experience working with school-age children from kindergarten through 12th grade. I also have worked with students with various diagnoses. My main objective in working with students is to help them by supporting and guiding them so that they can carry on a daily routine in school and within any environment. A partnership is created whereby the children and adolescents are actively involved in helping to create personal growth and development in their lives.

Hello! I am the founder and owner of Compassionate Holistic Counseling, LLC. I am passionate about treating the whole person with respect and honor. This means being empathetic, compassionate, encouraging, validating and accepting of each individual I come in contact with. One of my biggest joys is working with children 7+ and adolescents. I treat anxiety, depression, trauma (physical/sexual, emotional and/or medical), behavioral issues, grief, stress, the effects of divorce/separation, and school related issues. I help build coping strategies, self esteem, social competence and resilience.

Life unfolds presenting its challenges and we are often required to adapt and change. I have over 25 years of experience helping my clients at these important times. I actively participate in creating an environment that is safe and promotes healing and growth. I do this by striving to be attentive, supportive, challenging and compassionate while embracing the gifts,losses,struggles, irony and humor in life's situations. I help my clients cultivate self care by being good observers of themselves and their surroundings, asking hard questions, and showing compassion as they try different approaches and stay open to new possibilities.

Are you experiencing an unusual amount of stress or discomfort? Have you noticed more negative feelings like sadness, anxiety, anger or guilt? Increased difficulty in your relationships or at work? Health problems? Or having trouble navigating a life event or transition? It can be difficult to know when to seek help, but I can offer assistance with these and other concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to help manage life's challenges while maximizing health and wellness. My background in health psychology highlights the integration of physical and psychological well-being, and encourages an awareness of factors that can affect both in our lives.

Text Lou at 312.593.7527 to leave a message - http://www.louwalsh.com - (Elizabeth L Fisk Walsh, NPI 1871568584) "How are you going to fix me?" clients will sometimes ask. Because I believe that motivated people are capable of making changes in their lives, I encourage clients to accept responsibility for their own choices. I enjoy seeing people feel more confident about making independent decisions. Whether they have relationship issues, anxiety, fears, depression, or just ways they need to make small adjustments to their way of being, it is gratifying for me to provide the assistance as I watch them "fix" themselves.

The weight of your daily responsibilities and tasks can be overbearing. You may feel as if you have no control and fear is starting to set in. At times your past comes to haunt you and guilt and shame can rear its ugly head. Perhaps you find yourself in limbo, trapped between two cultures. Your family riddles your waking life with obligations and expectations from the motherland. And yet your innermost desires cater more to a modern “American life”. Living between two worlds can at times be a difficult balancing act and you feel as if you do not fit anywhere.

My counseling approach emphasizes how all individuals have the capabilities to live life authentically and with reduced stress. My goal is to help you utilize your strengths to achieve positive self-change and growth through the many transitions in life. I provide counseling for adults, couples, and older adults experiencing depression, low self esteem, anxiety, parental difficulties, relationship problems, substance abuse, anger, and stress related symptoms. I have training in teaching relaxation techniques and anger management skills including deep breathing and systematic desensitization.

My therapeutic approach is to fosters a space where the past, present, and future intersect in a way that healing, empowerment, and clear direction can flourish. I understand that life can at times be challenging, change can be destabilizing, and loss will cause pain. Through these life transitions one may at times need a safe space to cultivate hope and grow. I employ evidence based practices, cultural sensitivity and awareness to assist you in achieving your therapeutic goals.

With both MSW and MBA degrees, as well as 15+ years experience, I am returning to clinical social work in support of professionals experiencing stress/anxiety/depression related to their work environment and/or those seeking life and career coaching. I delivered direct mental health therapy at the beginning of my career, and have multiple published articles on evidence based practice in statewide healthcare environments. Now, I am returning to direct service to help clients (especially minority-identified) navigate stressful work environments and life/career transitions. www.ecawcoaching.com

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I work with young adults and adults across the lifespan. I am integrative in my approach working to ensure your therapy is practical, creative, and sensitive to your unique needs. My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, and compassionate, with a gentle dose of challenge. I work with individuals of multicultural and diverse backgrounds and experiences. I have extensive training and experience providing mindfulness-based interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and other evidence-based treatments.

Struggling with eating and body image issues, depression and anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and problems with your relationships can be overwhelming. However, these issues do not need to be faced alone. Working together with a collaborative, compassionate, and empathetic therapist can help you achieve the life you want, the relationships you desire, and optimum physical and mental health. My ideal client is engaged in his or her healthcare, eager to learn and transform, and someone who desires change within a therapeutic, compassionate environment.

Therapy helps relieve suffering and pain during times of loss or change, and can lead to significant growth and transformation, helping you to make important changes in your life, experience more vitality, and enjoy richer relationships. Most of us benefit from more support during major life transitions, such as a relationship crisis, work problems, loss of a loved one, or the birth of a child. Many of us also struggle to get what we want and need in our personal and professional lives. Partnering with a skilled therapist can help uncover obstacles, get to the root of issues, and create a path to move forward.

"We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them." - Christian Nevell Bovee. My unique approach begins with the focus of increasing my client's knowledge of the mind and brain. Given that our brains are built to change in response to experience, there is a new optimism regarding the brain's ability to remain flexible and to benefit from enriching environments throughout life. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and have full freedom, self-expression and a life you love.
