Licensed to practice in Illinois and accepts 37 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Couples Counseling and 10 more.
Hi - I'm Regina - a passionate, Illinois-Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and educator that has worked with adults, teens, and families, and couples, in both in-patient and out-patient settings. My background includes working with clients that have multiple issues including stress and anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management, physical and emotional abuse, substance abuse, low self-esteem, relationship issues, marriage/intimate conflict, and career challenges.
In our first session, together we will begin with brief introductions. I will be asking some basic questions to help me understand what brings you to therapy and to gather information about the complexity of the challenges you are dealing with in your life. My goal is to build a therapeutic alliance with you and to make sure that we are going at a pace that is comfortable for you. My goal is provide a safe place where you feel heard and understood. This will enable me to create a tailored plan that we will work through in follow-up sessions.
By having a broad knowledge base working with adults, teens, families, and couples in multiple settings, I have developed a tried-true playbook that enables me to help you identify the root causes of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to progress and healing. In addition, I am empathetic therapist, that listens with compassion and holds "Unconditional Positive Regard," toward each client, were you feel accepted, supported, and respected through the therapeutic process. Listening with out judgment and validating your feelings, so you feel understood throughout your journey. I will be there to offer reassurance and guide you to solutions that work best for you.
I love working with clients who need my help in successfully managing their anxiety, navigating life stressors, in all areas of their life, including relationships, careers, work-life balance, and living with purpose. They often feel overwhelmed, stuck, and lack the tools to make positive changes.
