Individual Therapy

Transcend Counseling Chicago provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults looking to relieve distress, deepen relationships, find meaning, and understand themselves better. Common concerns we address include:

• Relationships: parental divorce, breakups, loneliness

• Emotions: sadness, anxiety, irritability, anger

• Behaviors: conflict, low motivation, difficulty making changes, “acting out”

Couples Counseling

Good relationships take hard work. All couples occasionally struggle with feeling connected, communicating effectively, and sharing responsibilities. Counseling can help by providing a neutral space to work through differences and develop your  communication and connection. Some areas of focus include:

• Adjusting to changes: premarital counseling, moving in together, having a baby

• Navigating relationships: boundaries with in-laws, expectations and needs in polyamorous relationships

• Balance: boundaries with work, balancing parenting responsibilities

• Trust and Intimacy

• Communication
