Psychologist
IL
Hi there, I'm Jacquelyn! I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for 30+ years, and I love what I do! I earned my PsyD from the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology. I enjoy learning and staying informed about advances in the field and then bringing these insights into the therapy I provide. No two people are the same, and that also keeps me growing. My approach I frequently use cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based techniques. However, I?m not tied to one specific therapeutic approach, preferring to borrow from different approaches in order to tailor treatment to each individual?s needs. Therapy will be a collaboration between us, and you will help direct your therapy to the concerns you want to address and the skills you want to grow. My focus Most of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, and/or trauma. I am also comfortable addressing many other issues, including relationship issues, parenting, mood disorders, low self-esteem, ADHD, grief, and obtaining a healthy weight. My communication style My goal is to provide an experience of understanding, professionalism, compassion, hope, and help in a nonjudgmental and confidential setting. My journey to mental healthcare When I was a little girl, an adult whom I cared about was struggling, and I overheard someone say that they should see a psychologist. I asked what a psychologist was, and that day I chose my career. Every day I am humbled by the trust my patients place in me. Striving to be worthy of that trust keeps me motivated. My goals for you You have a motive for seeking therapy. I want to understand that motive and partner with you to set goals that lead to you accomplishing your motive. I do this by emphasizing your strengths (I can help with discovering these) and by exploring and decreasing obstacles in the way of your motive. My first session with you Everyone I see is unique, so the first session is spent looking at what type of assistance you seek.
