Counseling for Adults, Couples, Teens, and Children in Park Ridge and Willowbrook, Illinois

Sometimes it may feel as though life is a bit too much.

We may feel sad, stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, and at times like these it can be a good decision to seek help from a compassionate professional who can support and guide you through difficult times.

We believe counseling can:

• Facilitate personal growth and awareness
• Increase self-knowledge
• Enhance interpersonal skills
• Improve coping skills
• Enhance our energy and creativity
• Improve our relationships
• Increase our ability to nurture ourselves emotionally

A word about these difficult times:

Well this all escalated quickly, didn’t it? We can’t believe it either. But we want you to know that nothing is more important to us than your health and well-being. In that spirit, and in line with recommendations of the CDC and state authorities, Life Counseling Institute transitioned on March 16, 2020, to 100% online counseling sessions, one of the first practices in the Chicago area to do so.

While our physical doors are currently closed, we are open for online sessions now. We are accepting new clients. And we suggest that while you’re at home, bored or lonely or dealing with the stress of all that has changed, you might find some relief–and actual personal growth–via the support, guidance, and assistance of a trained and caring professional. Your self care, including your mental wellness, have never been more important.

Your online sessions will be on a secure, hipaa-compliant platform, and your therapist is happy to help you get set up. It’s simple and easy and kind of fun.

On March 19, 2020, Illinois state governor JB Pritzker ordered in-network insurers regulated by the state of Illinois to pay for telemental health services. In addition, he ordered that insurers not ask patients to share the cost of these services. Your telemental health sessions could therefore potentially be free of charge, but we are waiting to learn more as the situation progresses. We are happy to check your insurance benefits for you if you are considering online counseling.

If you have any questions about teletherapy, please call us at (630) 269-2886, or contact your therapist here if you are a current client.

Thanks and we look forward to seeing you online.
