Therapy Services
I see individuals with a large number of presenting issues, and I have a strong background providing parent coaching as well as working with young adults, adults, and families. I am trained in EMDR and specialize in the perinatal population. I also use exposure response prevention (ERP), Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) models based treatment. I use a collaborative treatment approach integrating various techniques to meet the needs of clients. I also use different behavioral therapies to help clients develop skills to live more effective and meaningful lives.
Individual Therapy
The first session will take time to understand what your goals are and why you are motivated to make these changes now. We then collaborate to develop an individualized “road map” to wellness. Anchored Therapy utilizes a combination of evidence-based behavioral therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as incorporating self care methods. For trauma, grief and loss, we will discuss additional methodologies to support healing, such as EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
Telehealth
While face-to-face counseling can foster an intimate and safe place for therapy, it is important that people are able to access services when barriers to in-person therapy arise. This is why Anchored Therapy offers remote HIPPA compliant online therapy services. Online therapy services are now covered by most insurance plans, including most (but not all) BCBS Illinois plans.
Sometimes face-to-face counseling is not possible because of school, work, family, or other obligations. Online therapy may be a good fit for you. If you would like information about online therapy and how Anchored Therapy might be able to be part of your healing process, please contact us for more information.
EMDR
This treatment helps your brain reprocess prior experiences and reduces the distress that comes with those experiences. By using active bilateral stimulation (through eye movements, tapping, and other forms of stimulation), EMDR works to heal a wide range of symptoms. In EMDR therapy, clients will engage in biofeedback exercises during treatment to monitor their bodily sensations throughout treatment session.
Perinatal Health
Anchored Therapy can help you create order out of the chaos so that you and your family can enjoy this chapter of life to the fullest. Whether you are struggling with postpartum depression, feeling overwhelmed by your new role as a parent and not getting enough sleep, or need help balancing other relationships while raising a newborn, Anchored Therapy will give you tools for coping with these challenges.
Managing intense emotions, reconciling your “parent identity,” and maintaining healthy relationships is one of the greatest challenges for new parents. If you are struggling to manage your feelings and emotions, Anchored Therapy will help you process these challenges and regain balance.
Cancellation Policy
A minimum of 24 hour notice is required for cancelling or rescheduling an appointment. Please note that insurance cannot be billed for missed appointments. The full fee will be charged for appointments that are missed, cancelled, or rescheduled without 24 hours notice.
