Counseling Works

When you first come to therapy you will have completed our Intake paperwork and the therapist will go over any questions and discuss our policies. The first session is a “get to know you” session where the client will be able to express where they are at and any goals for treatment. In the next few sessions, we will continue identifying needs and developing strengths to build on. We will be collaborating to develop objectives for treatment working towards a specific goal in mind. The therapist will continue to work on developing and refining these skills to help the client achieve their highest self.

Phone and email messages are retrieved on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. We make every effort to return all calls on the same business day. However, if you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Yes, we do. Teletherapy goes by many names, including TeleHealth, online counseling, and video therapy. Whatever name you call it, these virtual counseling services allow us to keep up your therapy sessions or offer counseling visits for new clients even when you can’t make it into the office.

We do everything we can to create a comfortable, relaxed, supportive environment for your online therapy sessions. We know it may feel a little different at first, but many people find they feel more relaxed talking to us from their own homes. Best of all, there’s no need to miss a session if you’re out of town, sheltering-in-place, or you can’t fit regular visits into your schedule.

We make it easy to schedule an appointment with us in one of our three Chicagoland offices or online. You can call us at (630) 281-2496 or complete the request form on our site for more information. For optimal convenience, we even offer online scheduling through our patient portal. To get started – visit us online.

If you already know which clinician you’d like to work with, you can schedule a 20-minute consultation phone call with them. This gives you the opportunity to get to know the clinician a little better before scheduling a full session.
