I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois with over 10 years of experience counseling adults who are experience stressful life transitions, adjusting to recently diagnosed illnesses, or grieving a loss, questioning relationships and having difficulty engaging with others. My style as a therapist is warm, empathic, non-judgmental and client-centered. I work best with clients who are and open and willing to engage in the process of therapy. My counseling techniques consist of an eclectic mixture including existential theory, psychodynamic, narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Clients have their own very personal and unique challenges so there is never a one size fits all approach to treatment. Often in therapy, as you begin to experience inner grow, so too do the potential solutions that were previously deemed impossible challenges. One of my key roles is to empower you to connect, explore and apply your inner wisdom. You're sick and tired of wearing that mask and feel like you're starring as an extra in the lives of others. It's so easy to fall into a role that others expect of you. You don't want to let family and friends down so you fake that smile for their sake. You feel stuck and just want to feel better. I'm here to help you start making that happen! I look forward to our work together . Tom Malczyk
