More about me
Licensing: LCPC, CADC Years in Practice: 35 State: Illinois
I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and a minor in psychology and a masters degree in counseling psychology
and over 35 years of counseling and psychotherapy experience . I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)
and am a Certified Addictions Counselor (CADC). My work experience includes being the Clinical Director at a community mental health center and as the Executive Director of a behavioral health care center where I supervised many staff and student interns. My private practice work dates from 1988 and I partner in the practice with my wife, Melinda. My counseling approach is client-centered and non-judgmental and I strongly believe that it is a privilege to be able to know and to help the people I see. On a more technical level, I believe in
a cognitive-behavioral model as well as the need to understand previous experiences and conditionings and help them make sense of how these factors have influenced them. I have special training and expertise in treating depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, addiction, and attention deficit disorders.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
