Professional Summary
Hi! My name is Eileen Sears and I’m a licensed professional counselor. I am so happy that you are here because I believe that every individual has the power and tools necessary to navigate the twists and turns of life. My goal is to support you throughout the counseling process so that you can achieve your unique version of happiness and success.
Collaboration is very important to me and is the basis for how I will lead our counseling sessions. That is why my first goal is to build a solid foundation with you based on trust and respect. As we work together, I will help you address any ongoing challenges you are facing so that you can move forward feeling empowered and fulfilled in your life.
In addition to my work in the private practice setting, I worked for years with adolescents in the school setting. I really enjoy supporting kids navigate difficult transitions, improve their executive functioning skills, and learn coping strategies to manage anxiety and depression.
I look forward to working with you through this journey of self-growth!
Eileen works with couples, teens and adults. She has experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship issues and adolescent behavioral issues. Eileen works in our Willowbrook therapy office and also offers online therapy throughout Illinois
