Therapy for Teens and Adults in Illinois
Hi and Welcome to Shift Counseling, PC
Have you been feeling hopeless, worried that things will never change for you?
Have you been thinking about starting therapy for a while, but it feels really overwhelming and you don’t know where to start? Maybe you had a bad experience with counseling in the past, and you dread going back because you fear the same thing is going to happen again?
Are you afraid that your counselor will judge you because of your background, education, immigration status, size, or something else? Or, do you fear that you are making a big deal out of nothing and feel like your concerns will be dismissed if you say them out loud to another person?
At Shift Counseling, PC, we understand how difficult it can be to share your struggle with someone else. We do our best to make sure that the big risk a client takes to open up and ask for help is met with the reward of feeling safe and understood. We love helping people get on the road to recovery. We offer individual counseling for adults and teens suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma related issues.

Stress Therapy
Many people seek therapy due to stressful changes in their lives that disrupt their ability to cope. Mental health symptoms that come from a reaction to a specific stressor are called Adjustment Disorders.
Women’s Counseling
Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by expectations, sick of having others question your choices, struggling with your identity and self-esteem, or unsure of how to break out of patterns of people pleasing behaviors?
Multicultural Counseling
When a client is able to work with a counselor who either shares their background or affirms their background, it can become safe to address cultural issues in therapy
Depression Therapy
Are you are struggling to get out of bed in the morning. You might notice that you are spending nearly all of your time off from work either sleeping, or “vegging out”.
Anxiety Therapy
Do you often find yourself feeling overwhelmed, constantly on edge, or trapped by your own thoughts? If left untreated, anxiety can negatively affect your health, relationships, and career.
Trauma Therapy
You can begin to get the support to process stuck emotions in a new way. With trauma therapy, people suffering after traumatic events can find their lives transformed.
Young Adult
Therapy
Coming of age is often a difficult life transition for a young adult because there are so many changes that happen at once. The choices a person makes at this time may affect them for the rest of their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a more structured approach to therapy than regular talk therapy. While there is time to connect and process with your therapist, goals are also set for treatment.
EMDR
Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful and efficient therapy approach that can help you manage and overcome trauma.
