Free Minded Counseling, PLLC
Group practice
Chicago, IL (4 mi)
Accepting new clients

Our general approach to therapy is to view each individual with no judgments or preconceptions; whatever you want to focus on will be our focus as well. At the end of the day, we want you to leave our sessions having either added more tools to your tool belt or having strengthened the tools that you are already using. We primarily approach therapy with a “Person-Centered” orientation; we understand that you are the expert on yourself, and we are only there to provide context, to facilitate you...

Dr. Blehart & Associates
Group practice
Chicago, IL (6 mi)
Accepting new clients

As therapists, we work to build a genuine relationship with each client, create a safe space for discovery, and aim to understand that individual. This allows clients to safely explore alongside the therapist, and begin to see themselves with greater clarity, depth, and honesty.

Spoken Balance
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Gastonbury, CT (6 mi)
Accepting new clients

Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We may run from day to day with an anxious stream of thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Sometimes our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of clarity and fulfillment. I work with individuals & couples to reconnect while understandi...

Lucas Somma
Pre-Licensed Professional
Chicago, IL (6 mi)
Accepting new clients

The distressing problems that bring you to therapy will later be revealed as the unlikely pathways towards a well-lived life. Pervasive sadness, suicidal thoughts, the heaviness on your shoulders are your psyche’s misunderstood messengers to summon you on a healing journey. Your symptoms have meaning and we will work together to understand them. In therapy, we will first work together to establish a sense of stability: from the first session, we’ll build a trusting relationship that offers a ...

Lauren Nichols
Psychologist

We all experience moments where life feels overwhelming, sometimes accompanied by worry about what comes next or how to change patterns we find ourselves repeating again.

Change can be scary and may force us to adapt quickly when we don't want to. Maybe you feel anxiety, guilt, shame, isolation, or feel like you have to continue a legacy bestowed upon you. You might feel like this is blocking you from growing. Be it a damaged relationship with your roots, needing to uproot and find a change of pace in life, or struggling to accept yourself for who you are - you are not alone and you deserve to feel relief.

Hope Kravetz
Group practice
Chicago, IL (6 mi)
Accepting new clients

Professional Statement My motivation to pursue this field stems from a childhood influence. Our next-door neighbor was a social worker, and I remember her as a kind, warm person who always had an ear to listen. At the age of 13, I decided I wanted to enter the same profession. When I work with clients, I strive to provide that same warmth and security, allowing them to share their life experiences openly. I believe the patient-therapist relationship is crucial to effective therapy. Many in...
