Naperville, Illinois therapist: Nefertiti Nowell, therapist
Child/Teen

Nefertiti Nowell

Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life. I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Chicago, Illinois therapist: Best Therapies, Inc., therapist
Child/Teen

Best Therapies, Inc.

Therapist
As adults, we underestimate the level of stress our young ones go through daily. Whether it’s overwhelming amounts of schoolwork, bullies that make them anxious or depressed in their academic environment, or a broken home that leaves them feeling fearful or unloved, children experience traumatic emotions just as adults do. Unlike adults, children and teens may not have the tools, outlet, or language skills to voice their troubles or break down what they’re feeling. That’s where child counseling comes in. Our experienced specialists work with children and teens dealing with a mental illness or emotional strain to help them regain confidence and happiness.
