Getting to know Dr. Derrick Hassert
I believe a good relationship between therapist and patient is key to the process of psychotherapy. Please let me know what you want to get out of the counseling experience (such as working on long-term issues that may go back to childhood or a very direct treatment plan for a specific concern, such as a phobia or social anxiety). I always seek to build a collaborative bond with patients in order to work together to achieve better mental health. I have training in behavior analysis and therapy through the Rehabilitation Institute of Southern Illinois University and training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy through the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis & Psychology and Columbia University's Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. I'm currently an advanced candidate at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I've been in clinical practice now for about 15 years, and in that time I have gained experience in addressing issues related to strong emotions (such as anger, stress, anxiety and depression--what is now sometimes referred to as "affect regulation"), interpersonal and developmental trauma, the application of effective parenting techniques, couples counseling, and helping clients through life transitions such as career change, divorce, and retirement.
