LCPC, 15 years of experience
I am a mature male, who has raised 5 daughters, worked in sales, retail and now mental health for the past 15 years. I am a clinically licensed therapist in Illinois. I am interested in people, want to know their story, and to help them with whatever is bothering them. I am skilled, experienced and have had great results helping my clients.
We will first get to know each other. I am easy to talk to and you don't have to get into all your history. We will talk about solutions to what's bothering you. I'll give you feedback and help you to feel hopeful. You will feel your burden lightened and renewed hope.
I think my best quality is my empathy, understanding, and ability to help my clients formulate a plan to help get over whatever is debilitating them and to help them implement that plan. My past clients have described me as "easy to talk to", "has good sense of humor", " I've learned alot of coping skills", " Ron listens and gives positive feedback".
I have helped adults, especially seniors, get through life problems of depression, anxiety, grief, and life issues with caring, effective, fun, methods.
I have used this method with many clients in varied situations. I will help my clients to examine any faulty beliefs they have about people or events in their life that are causing emotional difficulty.
I have training and practice in using the body to facilitate healing. I use Emotional Freedom techniques and other somatic methods to calm and release.
