Therapists in Streeterville, Chicago, IL

Sometimes we encounter challenges that exceed our limits and could lead us to experience distress. I consider myself a generalist and enjoy working with a variety of different concerns. That said, I’m particularly passionate about working with folks who need support with ADHD, OCD, anxiety, life transitions, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and sleep issues. I'm also particularly drawn to communication and relational issues and well-versed in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. I want to walk with you through these challenges and support you in your healing process.

Hello, I am Beatriz Gonzalez a Latina LCSW who specializes in trauma-based work. I am bilingual in Spanish/English and enjoy working with a diverse population. I have years of experience counseling adults and adolescents that are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life-transitions, relationships, grief, and other stressors.

I specialize in trauma work from an attachment-based lens, focusing on parental, family and generational traumas. Your brain and body are not just connected but are a single system- your nervous system. This is why your body also carries trauma and stress. I integrate somatic/body-based therapies to help with managing strong emotions, numbness and dissociation. Learning how to ground yourself, both feel and regulate your emotions, and form healthy attachments in your relationships can be life-changing. Trauma can change your brain and your connection to your body, but we’ve proven healing to be equally powerful.

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.

My name is Yvette and I serve as the Clinical Director and Psychotherapist at InTouch Mind Health. I offer a safe and personal space that is judgement free, where you can unpack the past, process fears and concerns, and face present challenges. My approach is interactive, supportive, and personal. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Solutions Focused and Narrative Therapy interventions in the clinical setting with adults, Narrative and Play Therapy when working with children, and Christian Counseling when working with individuals who prefer therapy that is grounded in Christian principles and bible based.

Treatment is about promoting change, and this change must come from within. I ask a great deal from clients when I ask them to change; this journey requires both the client and myself to work collaboratively and deeply. While my therapeutic approach is greatly influenced by psychoanalysis and relational therapy, I also employ aspects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, specifically, the principle of radical genuineness to build rapport with my clients. I aim to provide my clients the space to explore underlying feelings, thought processes and behaviors, and the support needed to engage with the therapy process.

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.

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.

My hope for clients in therapy is that they develop a greater sense of agency, resourcefulness and fulfillment. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach in which shared efforts to elaborate insight, problem solve and build coping skills, promote change and a deeper alignment with personal purposes and values. If you have been struggling with feeling mild or severely anxious or depressed, and if you want to understand how you can take care of yourself better and increase your sense of wellness and connectedness to life, I can be a good fit for you.
