Stress therapists in Skokie, Illinois IL
IVAN VELASCO
Counselor/Therapist, MSMFT, NCC, LCPC
I began my professional career as a pastor. While in the pastoral ministry, I began to experience stress leading me to severe depression. As a pastor, it was difficult to accept my condition feeling that my depression was a sign of spiritual weakness. I had to leave the ministry for some time seeking professional help. This experience helped me to learn about stress and depression, particularly in the professional ministry; later, I was able to help many people struggling with similar issues.

Counselor/Therapist, ND LCPC CYI ABT PATP
ditional counseling is an opportunity to examine issues within the privacy of a psychotherapeutic session. Individual counseling provides "therapeutic intimacy" to discuss relationship issues, childhood issues, or problems surfacing due to employment, career or personal life changes. If you are coping with feelings of depression or anxiety, it may become difficult to maintain work, school or family commitments. During times of stress, we sometimes misuse or abuse alcohol or other substances, find ourselves overeating or engaging in other destructive behaviors. Learning healthier coping strategies and facing confusing and often conflicting feelings can be positive steps towards living a healthier and happier life.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, such as leaving home for the first time, starting a relationship or family, or taking on a new occupation, are unavoidable parts of life. Often we’re able to adapt to our new circumstances with relative ease. Other times, changes in life push us to the limits of our resilience. Therapy strengthens our natural resilience by helping us adapt more flexibly to unexpected or undesired life changes in the future.
Stress can expose limitations in our psyches, bodies, and communities we may have never knew existed. In therapy, we try to understand how stress is affecting your ability to cope and help build enduring strategies for dealing with new stressors. We work toward developing more flexible and intentional responses to life’s demands, and by doing so, make stress more manageable moving forward.
