Teletherapy for Chicago, IL

I am comfortable working with a wide range of issues, and working with me is best for clients who are interested in not only talking through their problems, but physically moving about them and getting a felt sense of everything that’s going on. As a dance movement therapist, I think the body can be a marvelous source for solutions and insights, when the movement is approached in a way that’s comfortable and safe. Talking is also an important part of the process, as we are whole mind/body systems, and we work best when both are accessible and well connected to each other. Resolving and integrating the past is part of the work.

Hi, I’m Katherine Wheeler, Are you a high achiever or a perfectionist who has experienced childhood trauma? Do you feel stuck in a cycle of stress, pressure, and self-criticism? Do you want to break free from the past and create a life of balance, fulfillment, and authentic success? I understand how trauma and stress can fuel your drive for excellence and also create immense pressure and self-criticism. I help you break free from the past, balance your expectations, and redefine success on your terms.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you know what is wrong, but not how to fix it? My experience of 30+ years, enables me to offer effective and eclectic outpatient, psychotherapy. I incorporate research based techniques such as CBT and Positive Intelligence combined with practices such as Shamanism and Ho' Oponopono. I would be grateful if you would choose me as your Ally to find what will uniquely help you become your best self.

I am a caring, highly qualified, and spiritually conscious therapist. My goal is to help you live in a state of internal harmony that results from leading from the spiritual core of your Self. In practice for over 30 years, I began my clinical work in addiction in the early 1980's, graduated from Loyola University in 1991, completed an Advanced Psychodynamic Clinical Practice Certification at the University of Chicago and am trained in Internal Family Systems through the Center for Self-Leadership. I was also trained by the EMDR Institute to treat trauma and highly charged memories, experiences, and relationships.

I am client-focused when working with individuals and families, providing space for them to openly discuss the impact family building has had on their mental health. I encourage clients to actively participate in their treatment and collaboratively work with each client to identify their therapeutic goals. I use a mixture of modalities, from cognitive-behavioral techniques to holistic and integrative approaches. I always strive to bring culture and identity into the therapy space as I believe one’s lived experiences are often shaped by their personal identities.

I am a queer therapist that finds meaning working with individuals with histories of trauma, complex family dynamics, and those in toxic relationships with themselves and others. I also work with LGBTQ couples and mixed neurotype couples who want to explore open relationships, polyamory, and how to feel more connected and safer with their partners. My role as a therapist is to help my clients understand the symptoms that once protected them from trauma with the wisdom and compassion of your present self and encourage them to feel confident while you practice new skills to look ahead.

Men, are you feeling too stuck, stressed out, angry, or anxious? Instead do you want a life of greater vitality, energy, calmness, and clarity of direction? I have over 35 years experience walking with people through their toughest challenges, coming out the other side with greater empowerment and clearer direction. I've learned what works and what doesn't. I will coach you in creating solutions that work in the real world. I am practical, tactical, and efficient. My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive. In the midst of this support, we discuss what isn't working, and take action on the best path forward. Let's team up.

My name is David Lewis, and I am a therapist. I am committed to providing you with a safe, healing, non-judgmental, therapeutic space where you can discover more about yourself. My goal is to provide you with therapy tools to reduce relationship anxiety, depression, and stress. I will help you cultivate healthy and functioning relationships and explore various ways to live an authentic life full of meaning and purpose. We can work together to heal and overcome your relationship challenges and life's hurdles, enabling you to attain acceptance and peace.

When everyday life is hard to manage or understand, it helps to talk with someone caring who asks the right questions. You want to feel in charge of your own life and able to set and reach goals that are meaningful to you. You'll leave therapy knowing more about getting what you want in life, and feeling more confident in your choices.

I know it’s often really hard to choose a therapist. To make it easier, I would be glad to speak with you on the phone for 15 minutes to discuss whether we might be a good match. I am only doing Telehealth including video so I can see anyone who lives in Illinois I work mainly with adults and see individuals and couples. If you are depressed or anxious, I would be glad to help you feel better. I also help people with eating disorders and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. I am on many EAP Panels and I take most insurance. Give me a call or email me so we can talk and set up an appointment.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and overstimulated in a neurotypical world? Utilizing a therapy style uniquely crafted for you, I will work with you to find a sense of purpose, empowerment, and alignment with your deepest self. I specialize in working with clients exploring neurodiversity, "giftedness", burnout, queerness, creativity, ADHD, autism, boundaries, relationships, anxiety, bipolar, and depression. The strength in my approach comes from a balance of experimenting with tangible interventions to improve your daily life as well as insights that empower you to achieve a greater connection to yourself and the world.

People are not their diagnoses even though these labels can sometimes be informative. I prefer to get to know you. Specifically, what do you want out of therapy? What is currently working for you, not working? What brings you in to see me in this moment? Therapy is not only about reducing our suffering, but also finding meaning and fulfillment in our lives. It is about getting to know ourselves, parts that we love, parts that we are afraid of, parts that we don't yet understand. People are also not things that need to be "fixed", instead, this is a place for healing, self-compassion, and growth.

Accepting new clients! I help clients with their journey to become one's ideal self. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing psychotherapy. My expertise is treating adults who struggle with anxiety/depression and are seeking to find a more meaningful life. I also enjoy working with new moms (as I too am a newer mom to a little one) and college students, faced with anxiety due to their life transition(s) which can bring on stress, depression, and/or anxiety with the many questions centering around, “What am I going to do next in my life?" "How do I navigate my new identity as a mother?"

Are you done struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationships? Are you ready to feel fully yourself and alive again? Are you ready to build the life you want to live? My first goal when meeting with you is to establish a genuine & collaborative connection. This'll serve as the foundation for the work necessary to deal with daily feelings, understand experiences & make positive changes to your life. We'll work together to help you feel whole, peaceful, and connected. When you're done with therapy, you'll feel empowered and ready to face whatever challenges life throws at you. I can help you live your passion, purpose & truth.

Are you scouring the internet, consumed by worry and racing thoughts, heart pounding in your chest? Perhaps you're grappling with distraction, irritability, and marital discord. The struggle to focus or find peace leaves you restless and disconnected. You've exhausted every avenue and now seek a fresh approach, craving proactive guidance and practical solutions. You yearn for a therapist who offers more than just conversation—someone who understands, assigns homework, and collaborates with you to tackle challenges head-on.

People tell you to “just get over it.” As if you didn’t wish that a thousand times a day. You can white-knuckle it , but the nightmares always return. Lately, your spouse has been looking at you differently. You wonder how much longer they’ll stick around. You’re desperate to get away from the images in your head, but the memories come flooding back at any moment. The flashes of memory set your hands shaking and make the room spin. You try to block them out by isolating, drinking, and distracting yourself, but you know that’s only a band-aid. You need the memories to stop!

You feel overwhelmed, overworked, and the stress makes it hard to focus or even breath sometimes. Being an entrepreneur, small business owner, fellow creative, self-starter, or go-getter, you value being a risk-taker and know what you want for yourself and your family, but you just get overwhelmed with navigating the moving pieces and getting into habits of taking care of others before yourself. You are questioning "am I going to make it?" or "can I do this?" and part of you is having a dance party saying "hell yeah!" and another part is pointing a judging finger or exhausted from comparison fatigue. Lets make a change!
