I am passionate and sincere about providing my clients the space and safety needed to feel understood and supported. I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, pulled in too many directions and are looking for a way to get “unstuck.” I can facilitate a journey of self discovery and help to evoke deeper self-acceptance and self-compassion. I work collaboratively to help clients create solutions and small changes that add up to larger transformation, insight, wisdom, healthier behaviors and greater well being. I provide care that is strengths-based, solutions-focused, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I employ a variety of approaches- unique to each client- while promoting healthy coping strategies, and evidence-based skills that support clients in times of crisis, loss, low self esteem, addiction, anxiety, and interpersonal stress. Being human is extremely difficult. The responsibilities of life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we simply need to be heard in order to access our innate wisdom and capacity for growth. If you are looking for empathy, compassion, understanding, and want to create a strategy for healthy, lasting change... please reach out.

I work with driven achievers who find themselves feeling stuck with rumination, overthinking, unwanted and intrusive thoughts, or are overwhelmed with uncertainty. You may find yourself wanting to feel confident at work or school, in relationships, and in going about your daily tasks, but that doubt keeps you second guessing and avoiding. Together we will explore the challenges you are facing, utilize methods to recognize what keeps you stuck in the anxiety cycle, and learn how to respond to and face fears with self-compassion, and confidence. Building trust is central to the therapeutic relationship and I seek to meet individuals where they are in their process. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives and I use a style that is collaborative, goal-oriented, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatment of OCD, anxiety, panic disorder and phobias, hair pulling and skin picking (BFRBs), and athlete mental health. I offer the space to cope with uncertainty, develop new skills, and make meaningful adjustments, and am licensed in IL, WI and FL.

My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate methodologies and techniques of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding I work to create a safe and trusting environment for individuals to share their inner most thoughts and feelings. I will also meet each individual where they are in life and to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. Through psychotherapy you will be able to create a balance in your life on a mental, emotional, physical and interpersonal level. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from depression, anxiety and grief counseling to academic issues to family dynamics and beyond. An area of focus I have is working with women who have had unsuccessful/unhealthy or codependent relationships with men. I have assisted women in developing a healthier sense of themselves by developing a greater sense of their own identity and less of an identity defined by their relationships. Along with areas of healthy boundary setting, focusing on developing personal goals and positive cognitions regarding themselves, they have developed healthier and more fulfilling relationships with men and a more positive sense of themselves. I also work with individuals dealing with compulsive behavior of sex and/or pornography use. Together we work to find the underlying root causes of the behaviors and then to find healthier ways to cope and deal with those urges/desires in the present. The individual will also focus on developing a healthier sense of self along with healthier boundaries, emotional awareness of needs and a more appropriate style communicating needs and wants to others.

Therapist & A Couch is dedicated to creating space for healing. Welcome to my profile! As an existential-humanistic therapist, I believe that the search for meaning and purpose is central to our human experience. I approach therapy with a deep respect for each individual's unique journey and the complexity of their inner world. My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity for self-awareness, growth, and transformation, and that therapy can help us tap into that potential. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. As an existential-humanistic therapist, I prioritize the exploration of the big questions in life: Who am I? What is my purpose? What gives my life meaning? Through this exploration, we can begin to gain insight into our deepest desires and fears, and develop a greater sense of authenticity and connection. I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques, including mindfulness, experiential therapy, and the interpersonal process, to help clients deepen their self-awareness and increase their capacity for emotional expression. I also emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is a key factor in successful therapy outcomes. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and an open heart, I invite you to reach out and start your journey towards greater self-understanding and fulfillment.

You might be able to describe your problems as… → BURNT OUT from living life on survival mode. → IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy the present because of the the guilt of the past, and worry of the future. → DISCONNECTED from yourself, as if you are a passive bystander watching the problems in your life create chaos and havoc. → WITNESSING yourself saying and doing things that are hurting the people you care about. → RESIGNED to where the problems will take your life You might be feeling hopeless and resigned with the problems in your life, and yet YOU are HERE. And that makes all the difference! Because I truly, genuinely believe that in our work together, we will find many more ways in which you have asserted or acted in a way that shows you are not ok with the way things currently are. You are not ok with what has happened to you growing up. You deserve to reclaim your life from these problems and reconnect with yourself in more meaningful way.

Hello, I'm Melissa. I support students to get clear on their academic path, work through difficult emotions, and feel more confident and grounded. Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about their direction in life. Others struggle with perfectionism, burnout, or relationship challenges. I have 20 years experience as a clinical social worker, and I offer a safe, supportive and easy-going approach. I like to infuse mindfulness and humor into my sessions, while also keeping my clients on task and clear about goals. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of students heal, grow, and create more meaningful lives. I also specialize in helping clients strengthen their intuition. Developing a clear inner knowing makes it easier to trust yourself when making decisions, so you can feel more centered, confident, and at ease in your own skin. If you want to see if we're a good fit, I offer free 15 minute consultations so I can learn more about you and get a better sense of how I might be able to help. We can talk over any questions or concerns you have. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I started Influential Connections Counseling, after having worked 11 years with adults and families in the human service areas of abuse, neglect, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, relationship challenges, and various mental health diagnoses. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified social worker. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. A relationship that relies on trust, connection, empathy, and mutual respect. It can take time to build the therapeutic relationship. I often describe therapy as a space to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Life is challenging, ever changing, and beautiful. Whether life's changes are positive or negative, it influences our mental health, our relationships, and our physical bodies. The therapeutic process happens in session and in your daily life as you build self-awareness and enhance skills to obtain your goal(s).

Hi my name is Karolyn! It is hard being a teen and young adult. I believe that working collaboratively with young people and their families is rewarding and necessary for positive lasting change. I have witnessed how therapy can be a powerful way to learn more about yourself, resolve conflict, and develop and practice skills. With the client, I will explore needs, motivation for change, and set goals that are achievable and desirable. I will do this in an authentic, safe, affirming way that is moving toward wellness. Let's start!

I have vast experience in working with both mental health and addiction in a variety of settings.

I will help you gain insight and process your presenting problems and teach you healthy coping skills to manage your emotions, behaviors and thoughts using approaches that are tailored to you.

Hi, I'm very down to earth and create a welcoming and warm space to come as you are. I will assist you in feeling relief quickly. My approach is holistic, meaning we look at your thoughts, how your body responds to stress, and your spiritual self. We might talk through your experiences, use guided imagery, or practice connecting with your body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and gain insights into what’s happening in your life. My typical hours are Monday, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 8am- 1pm. Please look at my website to check your insurance if you'd like to work with me: (copy and paste if needed :) https://headway.co/providers/kristin-mccarty?utm_source=pem&utm_medium=direct_link&utm_campaign=67013 What is your client focus? I work with college students and adults who are dealing with the pressure of academics, social dynamics, and the big transitions that come with this stage of life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself, I’m here to help. Together, we can explore how to manage the demands of school, relationships, and future goals, while also addressing any underlying beliefs or past experiences that may be affecting you. What is your communication style? I focus on creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment built on trust and respect. Depending on what feels right for you, I can offer quiet reflection or take a more proactive, coaching-style approach. My goal is to adapt to your unique needs, making sure our time together feels collaborative and safe so you can explore your challenges at your own pace. How do you approach goal setting with clients? When we set goals, we’ll look at three main areas: what’s happening in your life right now, how past experiences or beliefs may be shaping your current behaviors, and what you want to achieve in the future. We’ll break things down into manageable steps, adjusting along the way as needed to help you move toward your goals, whether that’s feeling more confident, managing stress better, or making big life decisions. What should clients expect during a first session with you? In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other. You can share about your college experience, relationships, and what’s currently causing stress or frustration. I’ll listen closely, and together we’ll identify some initial goals to work on. By the end of the session, I hope you’ll feel heard and leave with a sense of hope and direction for what’s next. Tell us about your journey to becoming a therapist. I’ve always been sensitive to emotions and found art and creativity to be healing when I was younger. During college, I struggled with panic attacks, and that experience led me to discover the power of therapy and healing techniques. My journey inspired me to help others going through similar challenges. Now, I combine traditional therapy with mindfulness and energy healing, using what I’ve learned to help college students like you find balance, heal, and grow.

Waking up in the morning doesn't have to be exhausting.
