Therapists in Geneva, IL

Hi there! My name is Paige Angeliu, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing therapy in Illinois. I provide counseling services to a wide range of clients, including adolescents, teens, emerging adults, and young adults (ages 13-35+). I primarily work with, but am not limited to, clients presenting with anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions and adjustments, career stress/ goals, school or college related adjustments and stress, amongst other topics. I am here to ensure you feel heard, seen, and accepted, while providing support to you as you walk through the season of life that you are experiencing.

Life involves stress; it's inevitable. Everyone struggles and needs support because we're human, yet many people have not found help or resolution. It's hard to figure everything out on our own. You deserve to be listened to with unconditional support and without interruption. Sometimes family and friends don't provide help exactly the way we need. Psychotherapists like me can help provide unbiased support and interventions that research shows are pretty darn effective. Though it may not feel like it, lowering stress levels and resolving challenges is not as hard as it may seem. A little guidance could make a big difference!

I strongly believe in the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship and strive to create a safe space that is all inclusive and without judgment. I have worked with clients across the lifespan, spanning from ages 6 to 90+. I have experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, building self-confidence, ADHD, and life transitions/adjustments. I enjoy using different modalities to achieve a goal together. One of my primary focuses is empowering clients who have struggled with anxiety, stress, and low self-confidence to find compassion and start enjoying their lives again.

Enjoy therapy. I provide in-depth, client specific psychotherapy. I help individuals face and overcome challenges, cultivate hope, and move forward. With comprehensive experience and deep theoretical understanding, I support my clients to move forward safely and securely. I treat clients who have challenges including Personality Disorders, Depression, Grief/Bereavement, Anxiety, Panic, Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. End-to-end encrypted telehealth therapy with secure email, video streaming, and intake system.

“I know what I need to do to feel better”, “How is talking about my problems going to do anything”,...these are just a couple of the reasons why people can be apprehensive about therapy. Let’s talk about what therapy can do for you instead. By working collaboratively we can work together to decrease anxiety and depression, increase self esteem, enhance insight and better understanding of self, as well as to identify patterns of behaviors and thinking just to name a few benefits. Therapy isn’t a magic wand, and you aren’t going to be happy every day, or never experience stress again.

I push my clients into finding their own strengths and to use them in their therapy treatment. In session, clients will be assisted in exploring their experiences in a safe and judgment-free environment and build their goals to achieve while in therapy. My ideal client is someone who is seeking help but does not know how to start, someone who thinks they don't need counseling, and people who don't know their own value. If I cannot help, I will assist in finding someone who can.

In life, all of us can use help along the way. There are many reasons to start therapy but ultimately, we all want to feel better and live happier lives! At any point, we can all struggle with stress, anxiety, sadness or have a difficult time managing certain aspects of our lives. We can also feel stuck in patterns or behaviors that make it hard to live the life we want to live and it can feel overwhelming to figure out what to do next. Whether you are searching for yourself or your child, therapy can help.

I believe therapy is a process that helps you gain awareness of your strengths, behavior patterns, and thinking in order to provide the opportunity to make significant and meaningful changes in your life. I am dedicated to everyone I work with and committed to finding the best strategy to help you find peace and fulfillment. I am focused on helping you learn the skills to ultimately help yourself. After 20+ years of experience in the field, I have gained expertise with anxiety, emotional and behavioral challenges, parenting, mood disorders, self-esteem, ADHD, stress management, and family of origin issues.

I'm happy to announce that in-person and telehealth visits are available to all of my clients. Let's get you back to feeling like yourself. Together we can work toward improving your "get up and go," reduce feelings of shakiness and worry. Maybe you worry that your feelings of grief and sadness will never leave. Your depression, sadness, grief, anxiety or chronic illness have contributed to making your life more challenging. I'd like to help and together we can improve positive feelings and get you back on track. If you've been thinking about this for a while, now may be the time to act.

I am a LCPC working in Geneva, IL. My specialties include DBT, CBT, and experiential work utilizing art and mindfulness. I find something as simple as taking a walk while noticing our senses can shift the dynamic of a typical therapy session. Creating using various art media is another way to engage with our thoughts and emotions when words fall short of explaining how we feel. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and the emerging adulthood population, with experience working with adults also.

Between the frenetic pace of the modern lifestyle and media’s frequent messaging that we are not enough (which looks unique for each of us) it's no surprise that while we may be more “connected” than ever, we may also be finding ourselves more stressed, lonely, scattered, and/or irritable than ever. We've been sold the belief that if we "just work harder", then we will finally unlock the life we’ve always wanted. And yet, this equation doesn’t always seem to add up the way we thought it would. And that can leave us with a sense of frustration, disillusionment, and feeling stuck.

I work with people looking to move beyond roadblocks in their lives. These roadblocks can be as straightforward as learning how to manage anxiety or depression, or as complex as figuring out how to thrive or survive in an important relationship that's currently under stress. While many clients seek help with specific problems such as marriage, parenting, maneuvering workplace dynamics, or getting through specific crises, others are trying to find ways to overcome personal hurdles in their lives and move beyond their own self-perceived limitations. Whatever the concern, we tackle it together and develop a plan for moving forward.

Looking for guidance through one of life’s transitions? Whether you’re starting high school or college, or entering another stage of life like empty nesting, retirement or menopause, sometimes we just need someone’s help. Taking that first step toward self-improvement positively affects how you view yourself, and can help you find balance in your life. I use a practical approach to work collaboratively with you in establishing a supportive therapeutic relationship, and guiding you in building on your strengths to maximize your personal potential. You have what you need, and together we will find it and bring it to the surface.

I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Schaumburg. I am passionate about women's issues and I developed a therapy program for reducing postpartum depression while increasing the mother-infant bond for my clinical research project. I obtained an emphasis in Health Psychology that included training in hypnosis, relaxation techniques, pain management, and stress reduction. Additionally, I have an extensive background in domestic violence ad sexual assault. My therapeutic approach is eclectic utilizing interpersonal psychotherapy, CBT, feminist theory, solutions focused therapy, and client centered therapy.

Our mission is to help individuals improve their emotions, thoughts, and physical state to grow in a safe, positive direction while improving lifestyle and relationships. This is accomplished through working together with other family members and medical providers if necessary. We believe in customizing types of therapy and techniques according to individual unique life circumstances. Most importantly, we respect the belief that each person is empowered and has the ability to heal or find the way to happiness. Our role is to assist you in finding your "best" self. Thus, the saying "Consider Yourself!"

We are a child and family psychology practice. My associates and I believe in a cooperative treatment experience where client and therapist share responsibility for the identification and mutual direction of problem solving strategies. We are convinced of the importance of involving significant others in the treatment process when possible. Often children and adolescents react to problems in the context of school and family. We value feedback from teachers and staff professionals and look for collaborative relationships in pursuing the best needs of the child or adolescent.
