Getting to know Angel Caracheo

Servicios disponibles en español Hi, I am a bilingual licensed professional counselor, and I graduated from Roosevelt University with a Master’s in Clinical Professional Psychology. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a minor in Fine Arts from Northeastern Illinois University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Additionally, I work with minority and underserved populations, including immigrants, LGBTQ+, HIV/AIDS, and non-traditional (including poly/kink) relationships. Dealing with everyday stressors can be overwhelming, and seeking support through therapy is an important step in healing. I see therapy as a collaborative journey where clients explore and maximize their potential for self-healing. I believe individuals already possess strengths and essential skills to overcome adversity, and therapy can help uncover those. By creating a non-judgmental environment, I assist clients in achieving their goals while honoring their values. My approach is behavioral and affirmative, combined with other modalities to create a holistic approach tailored to client expectations. I believe individuals can become better versions of themselves—“nobody knows you better than yourself.” I use compassion and empathy as core values because connecting with your therapist is the foundation of healing. Hola, soy un consejero profesional bilingüe graduado de la Universidad Roosevelt con una maestría en Psicología Clínica Profesional. También tengo una licenciatura en Psicología y una especialización en Artes Plásticas de la Universidad Northeastern Illinois. Tengo experiencia trabajando con niños, adolescentes y adultos. Además, trabajo con poblaciones minoritarias y desatendidas, incluidos inmigrantes, LGBTQ+, VIH/SIDA y relaciones no tradicionales (incluido el poliamor).

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me, you can experience a collaborative environment where you take control over your own decisions. You will find a therapist that has a balance between structure and flexibility. I like to create a space where causal talk can lead to deeper level of exploration. Cuando trabajas conmigo, puedes experimentar un entorno colaborativo en el que tomas el control de tus propias decisiones. Encontrarás un terapeuta que tiene un equilibrio entre estructura y flexibilidad. Me gusta crear un espacio en el que la conversación causal pueda llevar a un nivel más profundo de exploración.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach to therapy is more Dialectical Behavioral with a hint of client centered. I believe that small accomplishments can be more long lasting than sudden changes. Working with me is a journey where we focus on psychoeducation and learning about ourselves, while slowly transitioning to you taking more control over the content of sessions. "Nobody knows you better than yourself."

More information on payments and coverage

In order to avoid any unexpected charges from the insurance, I always advise prospective clients to verify with their insurance if they have a copay or if mental health services are part of a deductible. Sometimes insurances only start covering services once the deductible has been met; therefore, it is good practice to check with the insurance before booking.
