Dr. Geoffrey Bathje, PhD

Psychotherapist
IL
I particularly enjoy helping clients process psychedelic and ketamine experiences. I work frequently with activists, community organizers, or those serving their communities. I also work frequently other healthcare providers and therapists. In my 20 years of practice, I have worked in a wide range of clinical settings, studied most of the major schools of psychotherapy, and have taught and supervised hundreds of therapist in training. I will draw from this wealth of experience to help you find creative solutions to your problems. I understand mental health to be more than just what goes on in our heads. We live an embodied existence, within relationships and within the context of our world. The problems people face are usually in the interaction between them and their world. I can help you put your problems into context to better address them. I attend to my clients' full context, including their social identities as appropriate, including experiences with race, gender, sexuality, ability/disability, nationality and citizenship status.

What should a new client know about working with you?

IMPORTANT: Please note I am not currently accepting any form of insurance. I can provide an invoice if you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurer, but all sessions must be paid at the time of the session. I am currently available only for virtual/Zoom sessions and only before noon. Sliding scale may be available based on financial hardship. Please inquire before scheduling if you would like to request a discounted rate.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I have postgraduate training and experience in Narrative Therapy, harm reduction, psychedelic-assisted therapies, somatic therapies (mind-body), and mindfulness meditation. I am able to draw from a wide range of theories and approaches, including from disciplines beyond psychology, such as philosophy, meditation, and other social sciences. My goal is to help you resolve the things that are impeding you, without keeping you in therapy indefinitely. I suggest to take therapy a few months at a time and reevaluate our progress.
