Therapists in Naperville, IL

Everyone, at some point in their lives, faces difficulties that seem impossible to overcome. I believe that these struggles can be an opportunity for growth and change.

Therapy can be a great place to begin the courageous journey of rediscovering who you are and equipping yourself with the tools needed to make your life more enriched and fulfilling. I work with couples, families, and individuals of all ages. I have undergone training in EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy), and use ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) for treating OCD and anxiety related disorders.

My role is to increase your self-awareness to identify what you value, what is currently working in your life, and what is getting in the way of you living the life you want to live. I view therapy as a partnership wherein my role is to help you to move towards the life you want to live based on your values. I will also teach you skills based on ACT, DBT, and CBT.

If someone waved a magic wand and all your problems disappeared, what would you be doing that you’re not doing now? What would you stop doing that you are doing now? My goal is help you to figure out what habits are helping you, and which ones are getting in your way. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and other mood disorders.

I work with clients to help them live their valued life using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness skills. Change is constant and is part of life. With change comes stress and anxiety. Rather than simply reacting, which leads to a spiral of further stress and anxiety, I teach my clients coping tools so they are able to respond in a way that is productive and in their control, minimizing stress and anxiety. I specialize in working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety and other mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, postpartum issues and insomnia.

I strive to help people have a better understanding of who they are and who they can be and overcome the internal obstacles keeping them stuck. You will find me easy to connect with. I listen attentively, remember details, and ask direct and relevant questions to create a therapy that is tailored to your goals, challenges and provides solutions. I effectively treat Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Panic, and Chronic Pain. Mind-body imbalance can cause neck and back pain, stomach problems, headaches, which I have success treating. I also specialize in eating disorders, specifically in weight loss and weight gain prevention.

I believe that change best occurs in the context of an open, trusting relationship. Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which we work together to address the issues that you are struggling with. Together, we will identify your feelings, thoughts, and dynamics that are impacting your life. We will work together to meet your goals in pursuit of a purposeful and rewarding life.

Anxiety and stress impact all of us. When things in your life feel unmanageable, it's time to get some support. It can feel vulnerable reaching out but typically people feel better once they take the first step.

As a specialist in the area of OCD and anxiety-related disorders, I am skilled at working with patients who are suffering from all types of anxiety, and I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure-based interventions to treat OCD and related disorders (such as hair pulling and skin picking) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. My other areas of specialty include Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Specific Phobia (e.g., fear of spiders, heights). I provide a safe, trusting environment in which kids, teens, and adults can feel comfortable and confident in their abilities to reach their goals.

Reaching out for help during our vulnerable moments can be overwhelming and intimidating. Sometimes we can convince ourselves that we should figure it out on our own or that things aren't bad enough to need help and we can find ourselves reluctant to take that next step. Regardless of where you are on your healing journey, I will meet you there and join beside you to work through the things that feel unbearable and impossible to overcome on your own.

When we live our lives in a state of constant fight-or-flight, we can go into survival mode. Worries, phobias, panic attacks, trauma, obsessive thoughts, avoidant behavior, and/or repetitive/compulsive behaviors can make us feel hopeless and helpless. We can find ourselves overthinking, overanalyzing, and feeling powerless. If you're feeling like life hasn't been moving in a positive direction, find yourself in a state of hypervigilence due to trauma and/or frozen by fears and uncertainty, you CAN find your way out - sometimes we just need some extra support to do so.

Hello! My name is Maria, and I am extremely passionate about helping individuals struggling with eating disorders to rediscover happiness and fulfillment in their lives. I have spent over 25 years providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families enduring the burden of an eating disorder, and I have served as the President of ANAD (The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa & Associated Disorders) for 13 years. My experience across residential, inpatient, and outpatient settings has provided me with a foundational understanding that every person has a unique path to healing - it is an honor to walk that path with you.

Hello! I am the Co-Director and Psychotherapist with The Naperville Counseling Center. My clinical experience focus on working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with substance abuse, relationship issues, work-life balance, stress, anxiety, depression, mood management, cultural identity issues, life transitions, and self-esteem. I enjoy working with individuals from various backgrounds and cultures. I also speak Punjabi and have full comprehension of Hindi/ Urdu and provide bilingual counseling services to my clients.

I am a licensed child/adolescent/adult clinical psychologist & Sleep Science Coach trained in CBT-I for insomnia. I specialize in anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, behavior change and parenting issues. I use research based methods that allow people to function at their highest potential. I earned my Master's & Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and have worked in multiple settings, including hospitals, outpatient centers, private practice, and as the director of a behavioral/emotional school for children. I am the author of the online sleep course “Drift” and the children’s book, "I Just Don't Get My Parents' Rules!"

I have over twenty years of social work experience. I have worked in foster care and adoption, in a psychiatric hospital and am currently working in private practice. My patients include children, adolescents, adults and couples. I treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief issues, conflict resolution, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, social anxiety, OCD, addictions, issues related to divorce and family/marital conflicts. I use a variety of treatment modalities based on the individual needs of the patient. My therapeutic approach is a non-judgmental blending of eastern and western philosophies thereby helping patients develop acceptance and develop better coping strategies to deal with their challenges.

Do you find yourself facing a transition or feel a need for a transition in your life? If you find yourself struggling in your relationship, parenting approach, career, or with symptoms that seem unmanageable; then you are in the right place. I help create understanding and structure in challenging family relationships, whether it is a change in parenting style or understanding the child struggles. Transitions in relationships and career can be difficult to navigate without objective support and proper skills to analyze choices. I am able to provide client's the skills and coping to make adjust in their lives.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I have worked in a residential treatment home, community agency, psychiatric unit, and school setting; subsequently, I have experience working with a variety of issues. Some issues that I particularly enjoy working with include, but are not limited to, behavioral and relational issues, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also enjoy working with athletes and sports-related issues. My approach is warm, accepting, interactive, and collaborative, and I work to tailor treatment to meet a client's individual needs through the use of a variety of treatment modalities.
