The practice serves clients throughout Illinois and the Chicagoland area and provides focused attention from a solo therapist who works closely with each client’s unique story.
What Individual Counseling Helps You Work Through
Individual counseling is tailored to each person’s experiences. Many clients are college students balancing pressure, neurodivergent individuals navigating communication challenges, or young clients learning emotional awareness. Others are adults seeking support during life transitions, relationship changes, or periods of high stress.
Common concerns addressed in counseling include anxiety, ADHD-related frustration, depression, emotional dysregulation, social discomfort, and low self-esteem. Sessions help you identify what is getting in the way of feeling grounded while learning strategies that support healthier thinking, stronger communication, and improved emotional control.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Thought and Behavior Awareness
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often known as CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. This approach helps clients recognize patterns that may be contributing to stress, worry, or negative self-talk.
How CBT Supports Change
CBT guides clients in understanding unhelpful thinking patterns and replacing them with realistic, supportive thoughts that make daily life more manageable. As these new patterns strengthen, clients often experience clearer decision-making, calmer responses, and greater confidence when facing challenges. This approach is especially helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and everyday stressors that feel difficult to control.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy to Build Emotional Balance
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, also known as DBT, helps clients strengthen emotional regulation, communication skills, and mindfulness. It is especially useful for those who feel emotions intensely or have difficulty calming themselves during stressful moments.
Skills Strengthened Through DBT
DBT teaches practical tools such as staying grounded when emotions feel overwhelming, expressing needs respectfully, setting personal boundaries, and understanding emotional triggers. As these skills grow, clients often feel more capable of handling difficult conversations, stressful situations, and internal tension with greater ease.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Purposeful Living
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages clients to explore their values and move toward what matters most. Instead of battling uncomfortable thoughts or emotions, ACT teaches clients how to notice them, accept them, and take meaningful steps forward.
How ACT Helps You Move Forward
ACT is especially helpful for clients who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about their direction. Through guided reflection and value-based goal setting, clients learn how to make intentional choices that support growth, meaning, and emotional flexibility. This approach empowers individuals to move through discomfort rather than avoiding it, helping them build a life aligned with what they truly care about.
