New to Grow
Ms. Heather Nemeth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. She provides personalized coaching and counseling services for individuals and couples looking to promote positive developmental growth personally and professionally. Together we will: Take it one step at a time to help you get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Create a healthier you by learning to trust your own judgement, feeling secure in who you are, and being able to communicate your needs in a positive way.
Besides the initial intake, most my clients are very happy with having someone just listen about their grievances. I call this the "cathartic dump". They usually talk about anything and everything that is or has bothered them. It is my job to create a safe and unbiased partnership with my clients using motivational interviewing questions and through collaboration, identify the best course of treatment goals.
Heather creates a personalized approach to assisting her clients based on their needs and goals without using a "cookie cutter" approach to therapy. In a caring and compassionate way, Heather will give you her professional opinion on what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear. Being open and honest in the therapeutic space is important. "My high level of dedication in helping others has led some people to tell me that I can’t change the world. Maybe on a global scale that is probably true. However, I have seen that being kind to others and helping them achieve their fullest potential has allowed them to live a healthier and happier way of life which then gets portrayed externally onto others".
Most of Heather's clients suffer from anxiety and depression due to psychosocial and environmental elements that make them feel out of control. They experience feelings of being stuck in unhealthy cycles that cause challenges in relationships, social settings, and personal growth. People live in fear of the unknown and what change will produce in an already chaotic existence. Change is good! Stepping outside of your comfort zone even though uncomfortable, can bring potential to becoming a better you. "Let me guide you through this journey”.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We all form rules that were learned by experiences. Sometimes those rules don't work anymore. Changing perception and rules give people the freedom to choose what is healthiest for them at that time.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness based therapy allows individuals to become present when life seems out of our control.
Attachment-based
Many people suffer from attachment disorders usually stemming from childhood. This method is used as an indicator to guide them into empowerment by setting appropriate boundaries, and trusting their own judgement.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is used to assist clients in healthy communication, becoming vulnerable when trust is lacking, and creating a secure partnership.
