Our Approach
At Nefesh Counseling, we believe everyone deserves a place to feel safe, heard, and understood. Whether you're facing stress, loss, a life transition, or strain in your relationships, our clinicians meet you where you are and build on the strengths you already have. Our team brings a range of approaches, from traditional talk therapy to creative and body-aware methods like art therapy, so that people of every age and communication style can find a way to express what they're carrying. We work with individuals, couples, and families to turn insight into lasting growth, healing, and change.
Challenges Addressed
We have broad experience in helping clients confront many challenges in their life.
There are no problems that are too big or small. Your personal wellness is what is most important.
Emotional well-being: anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, body image
Life changes and loss: life transitions, grief, career concerns, caregiver stress
Relationships and family: communication, family conflict, parenting, peer relationships
Trauma and past experiences
Habits and behaviors: anger, alcohol use, gambling
Telehealth. Therapy from the comfort of your home
Your privacy matters just as much in a video or phone session as it does in an office, and we take it seriously. A couple of important points to consider when scheduling an appointment for a video or phone session:
Make sure you have a quiet and private space where you can feel comfortable speaking freely.
Know where your device’s microphone is located so that you can direct your voice towards it. If it’s not possible, you may wish to consider an external microphone. Depending on your device, you may not be able to hear your speakers over your environment’s ambient sound(s). In-ear headphones or noise-cancelling headphones may make it easier to hear your conversation.
Because the physical space isn’t being shared during video or phone sessions, it is vitally important that you share your exact location just before, or at the start of, your session. In the event that there is an emergency, your safety is our priority and we will need to know where to send help.
We are licensed in Illinois. If you currently reside outside of Illinois, or are planning to visit another state, we will not be able to schedule sessions during that time. We can only schedule sessions with those who are currently in Illinois at the time of the appointment.
