Getting to know Pandora Kastanis

Hi there, I'm Pandora! Hello! My name is Pandora Kastanis, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a PsyD from The Chicago School. I have worked with adolescents, as well as younger and older adults, in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, government agencies, and private practice. I specialize in mood disorders, chronic illness, interpersonal problems, stress and anxiety, transition-related issues, and grief. My approach I primarily use a psychodynamic approach as my theoretical orientation for therapy. The drive to understand the unconscious mind is what inspired and captivated my interest in this approach. When the unconscious mind is understood, we can better direct our lives and gain control over our mind, body, and soul. I believe in a strong therapeutic alliance between therapist and client that fosters personal growth and self-actualization. My focus I typically work with adults in individual sessions who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. My communication style Through a strong therapeutic alliance, we aim to work through any barriers to developing healthy and positive approaches toward emotional fulfillment. This approach helps clients not only understand themselves better but also sincerely accept their deep inner worlds. My goals for you Many clients come to therapy with specific goals in mind. Over the course of the therapeutic journey, these goals often expand or change. As this happens, we will work together to identify new goals. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients significantly enhance their quality of life and well-being. My first session with you I am always curious to learn what brings a client into therapy. While I do ask initial intake questions, I also want to give clients a feel for what therapy sessions will be like moving forward. This allows clients to get a better idea of how I conduct therapy.
