Therapists in Geneva, IL

Hi, I am looking forward to getting to know you & the ways in which I can support and assist you. Prior to beginning my work as a counselor in the state of Illinois in 2007, I worked as a psychology professor (teaching & conducting research). Since 2007 I have used a variety of therapeutic techniques to help individuals, couples & families. I specialize in working with those dealing with anxiety, mood disorders & relationship issues. My approach to counseling is interactive and solution focused. When I am not working, I enjoy baking and singing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience in residential, community mental health, and private practice settings. I utilize a strengths-based, solution-oriented approach to counseling with a dash of mindfulness , a touch of narrative therapy, and good dose of humor. I believe that people are unique, beloved, and full of gifts, talents, interests, untapped resources, and often forgotten successes that can provide paths and even a road map to getting unstuck and through whatever is prompting them to seek out help. I strive to connect with the hurt, pain, losses, disappointments, and woundedness people bring to sessions while at the same time maintain a stubborn optimism about the potential for healing, growth, and positive change. Lastly, I consider the relationship of therapy/counseling to be sacred space both in a professional and spiritual sort of way. I never cease to be amazed by the tenacity, creativity, and strength demonstrated by the clients I work with, and I likewise never cease to be surprised, touched, and awed by how the Divine or something beyond us tends to show up. This does not mean that I impose my spiritual beliefs and/or wonderings on clients. Rather, I believe it is important for someone to know up front that spirituality and the resources that come with it are just part of who I am. If you are still interested or at least curious after reading my blurb, then I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! My name is Rochelle McGhee and I applaud you for reaching out to take care of yourself. Here is a bit of information about me and my therapy style. My master’s degree is in Clinical Psychology. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) for Illinois and have over 15 years of experience providing counseling services. In 2018, I obtained certification (CADC) to assist people working to address alcohol and substance abuse issues. I incorporate a variety of modalities into the therapeutic process, based on your needs; however, my overall approach is based on the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – a form of cognitive behavior therapy. This type of therapy places a heavy emphasis on learning mindfulness skills to help you manage your thoughts and attention. DBT also helps you develop a toolbox of other skills to manage emotions, address interpersonal challenges, and relieve chronic distress. I have supported individuals with a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, conflicts within families and other relationships, traumatic histories, and difficulties regarding forgiveness. Every therapist has a personal style. Mine is anchored in respect for the client and your innate ability to grow and meet goals. I have a patient approach while maintaining the focus needed to move forward. My intention is to always assist clients in feeling empowered, heard, and valued. I consider us to be partners on a journey, figuring out what works best in creating a life for you that is manageable and meaningful. I check for messages throughout the day, as my schedule allows. This means that if you reach out to me on one of my scheduled workdays, my goal is to respond within that same day. On other days, it may take up to 24 hours for me to respond. I also offer morning and afternoon appointments for live sessions, 3 days per week. I am ready to support you and look forward to our work together!
