Kathryn Tornquist, MS, APN
Nurse-Psychotherapist
In 61761 - Nearby to Pontiac.
Most folks are experienced at describing what's wrong! My focus is on how we get you from "what's wrong" to how you want you/your life to be. You have something you want to be different - disturbing feelings, upsetting thoughts, behaviors that frustrate you or even violate your own standards for yourself. I have the experience and expertise to help you shift those to more constructive patterns - to a grounded, balanced self and life. Tailoring everything to you and your situation, I work with a combination of 1) deepening your understanding of how you got where you are with 2) exercises and expanding coping tools that work for you. Yes, you will have homework most sessions. :)

Psychotherapy is the practice of using psychology to address mental health issues (as opposed to physical, occupational, or speech therapy). Psychotherapy may be practiced by a variety of professionals such as psychologists, marriage and family counselors, licensed clinical social workers, and psychiatrists. I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in a cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety and mood disorders.

Phillip Foster, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
In 61704 - Nearby to Pontiac.
Psychotherapy involves our working together towards your goals. The most important question I will ask of you is "what do you want?" Then we will begin to work towards having that in your life. It may involve looking at your past for explanations as to what hinders your personal growth, but we will focus mainly on what you can do today to make things better.

Some budgeting needed
