Getting to know Wendy Gilchrist

I am Wendy Gilchrist, a clinical professional counselor with over 25 years of experience working with people experiencing severe symptoms of mental illness. If you're facing anxiety, stress, career changes, difficult relationships, feelings of sadness or lack of motivation, or dealing with grief and loss, it is time to dive in and process those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work to process them, put them in a safe place, and find ways to cope by learning to accept that you are the only one who can take the first step toward changing your difficult and unpleasant situation. Even when you feel hopeless, you have the potential to make a difference in your life. I hold a Master's in Clinical Counseling Psychology from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago Student Residence Hall.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am fully committed to understand where you are in life without judgement, what are you struggling with and where do you want to be at. Together we are going to process those uncomfortable struggles, thoughts and feelings. We will learn some skills and tools to process, accept and overcome them.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In the first session we will get to know each other. I will explain to you how my practice and sessions work. What can you expect from therapy. You will be able to explore your needs and we will be able to set some short and long term therapeutic goals.
