Find a Therapist in Richton Park, Illinois.

I provide support in the process of going through difficult transitions and focus on helping you find constructive ways to help you deal with problems or issues in your life. I tend to take a goal oriented approach to psychotherapy, helping you identify or verbalize what you hope to achieve from therapy and then helping you break down your goals into smaller, attainable objectives.

We can work together to develop a game plan to help you to to accomplish your goals for our work together. This will include decisions about how frequently to meet (example: once or twice weekly), your specific goals (and what will be different when the issue is resolved), options for working towards your goals, and what specific strategies you would like to use (I can suggest a variety of them for you - for example, perhaps you are interested in mindfulness, meditation, or laughter yoga!!)

We are confident our techniques will increase awareness and the capacity for self-observation, change behavior and cognition, and develop insight and empathy.

Psychotherapy is a process of doing more in depth, "intra-psychic" work. This therapy is used by many who want to create deep and lasting personal change in their life. It's not only thoughts or behaviors or crises that are addressed. It may be about deep unhappiness in life; sexual identity; a sense of emptiness; dreams; long ago traumas or loss. The enduring benefit is a greater self understanding and new confidence in becoming a more authentic, genuine self in the world.

Psychotherapy is an art and a science. I like personal approach. I do not like to stick to one school of thought or theory. each individual is unique so therapy must me designed accordingly. In addition to examining the needs of an individual I look at the person in a global way. I believe in holistic approach and use an eclectic approach rather than just one technique.

I create a safe space in which my clients can feel comfortable in talking openly about who they are and the difficulties they are facing. People come to see me because they are having difficulties, but these problems do not define them and they also have incredible strengths. Although I use different therapies and provide my clients with tools they can use, I believe that the relationship between the therapist and the client determines how successful therapy will be. I engage fully with my clients, listening to them carefully and providing them with genuine respect and positive regard.

We provide individual and and family therapy. We treat a variety of psychiatric disorders with appropriate therapy techniques. We try to tailor our therapy techniques to suit the needs of the patient. We believe that all patients are not similar so all techniques used to treat them also need to be individualized. We closely work with other professionals to ensure that all of the needs of our patients are met.

Psychotherapy is the most effective and lasting way to change the way you feel. Some of the benefits of psychotherapy are: increase in self confidence, feeling lighter and more hopeful, getting to know yourself better and be more accepting of who you are, identify triggers and buttons so that you reach your full potential, and living the life you were intended to live. My approach to psychotherapy is to have a conversation together that will be benefit you in nearly every area of your life. I provide a safe supportive non judgmental environment in order to have an open, honest and meaningful conversation.

During my 20 plus years of being in the field of Psychotherapy I have never taken the therapeutic relationship for granted. It is a unique, growth producing experience for my clients, one like no other. You as the client are deeply understood, listened to and highly respected. I offer both solution-oriented and indepth therapy for my clients. Sometimes there is an answer within the first session! Most often, however, Psychotherapy is a process where each person has their own time frame for growth. It's important to be with a Therapist that feels like a good fit I offer an intitial session to discuss what your hopes and goals are for therapy. I look forward to hearing from you.
