1616 N Damen Ave, Chicago, IL
Alissa Rygel, LCPC, CRC, supports teens, adults, and seniors across Illinois in navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal growth through thoughtful, clientcentered therapy. She creates a space where each person feels safe, respected, and empowered. Whether someone is facing anxiety, depression, or the lasting impact of trauma, Alissaâs warm and collaborative approach helps clients build resilience and discover meaningful pathways to healing. With a strong background in treating alcohol and drug use issues, PTSDtrauma, and later life transitions, Alissa brings both clinical insight and compassionate care to her sessions. She understands that recoveryâwhether from addiction, trauma, or major life changesâis deeply personal and often nonlinear. Alissa works closely with each client to identify strengths, develop coping strategies, and foster hope for sustainable change. Alissa is especially committed to supporting individuals navigating disabilityrelated challenges, including those in need of documentation for disabilityrelated accommodations or services. She has experience working with clients on the autism spectrum and those living with both visible and invisible disabilities. Her therapeutic work often draws from a faithbased perspective when appropriate, and she offers Christian counseling to those seeking to integrate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process. In addition to these areas, she supports military veterans, women, and men facing diverse mental health needs. While her primary specialties are in trauma, substance use, and life transitions, she also treats conditions such as bipolar disorder, grief, and anxiety, and provides support for additional concerns. Outside the therapy room, Alissa finds joy and renewal in nature. She enjoys traveling, hiking, boating, and exploring the outdoors.
