TESTIMONIALS

From within the Chicago area

"guided me through a deep inquiry about myself which has given me the ability to pursue what is most important to me in both career and family."

Angelo in Chicago

Individual therapy

in and around the Chicago area & anywhere via the internet

We provide counseling for a wide range of issues. Some of these are shown on our specialized counseling page.

We want you to be comfortable with your therapist. Please visit the about us page, and find a therapist located in your area. Choose the therapist that most appeals to you. Or we can match you with a therapist that has experience dealing with your type of concerns. If necessary, we can assign you multiple therapists with different specialties so that we can deal with all of your needs.

Our therapist will meet with you to get a better understanding of your situation, and if at any time you do not feel comfortable with your therapist, you can tell us and we can change you over to a different therapist. We value honesty, and being open. We will help to find a therapist that fits you just right. We want to help you to succeed.

Note: Individual concerns are also often explored as part of marriage therapy and family therapy. Even when dealing with a couple or a family, we take each person aside for one-on-one discussions about their own personal issues.

Work, school and life transitions

Throughout our life we experience school issues, work issues, relationships starting and ending, illnesses, the passing of loved ones and many other challenges.

As we go through these life-changing experiences, the difficulties that arise are from over-attachment to the various events and how we give these events meaning or lack of meaning in our lives. We aim to help you be able to negotiate how life changes around you and within you in a more coherent comfortable smooth manner.

Our goal is for you to find peace within yourself, and for you to be able to dynamically adjust to life's constant changes and yet live the life you have envisioned for yourself.

Medical conditions which affect you

Many medical conditions affect our mind. And many psychological issues affect our bodies. The mind-body connection is not some cosmic or new age hype – it is part of how we negotiate dealing with living in a body. Our therapists can help you to change the way your mind reacts to your physical condition. They can also explain how things like exercise can help to improve your mental outlook.
