In the Battle of Barrington, Baby Face Nelson was fatally shot by federal agents. When you feel surrounded and outnumbered by the problems in your life, your mind switches from the good in life to the challenges you’re facing. Yet, you think more about the unfairness of life than the solutions you might find.

Thinking clearly and rationally isn’t possible when you don’t have good mental health. Then, your disordered thoughts lead you to distressing emotions. You’re helpless to do better on your own. Talk to a counselor in the Barrington area to resolve your mental health issues.

Thank you for taking time to learn more about me as a therapist, as you contemplate taking this important step toward attending to your own wellbeing. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois with 10 years of experience as a therapist. I would describe my approach as warm and compassionate, but I will also challenge you when needed. My ultimate goal is to help you gain the tools and insight to live the life you want. I meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively with them to develop a plan for getting them where they want to be. I believe establishing a strong working relationship and attending to the therapeutic alliance is a key aspect of successful therapy. That is to say, we will work together to get you where you want to be and will have an open dialogue to be sure your therapeutic needs are met. I offer counseling for individuals with trauma/abuse, personality disorders, mood disorders, LGBTQ related concerns, addictions, and anxiety disorders. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory; however, I pull from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness to help my clients gain the tools needed to face whatever challenges arise. I look forward to working with you and want to commend you for taking this step toward personal growth. Best, Andrea
