Therapy by Ilene PLLC

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I’m Ilene, a warm, approachable therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, family relationships and addiction for teenagers, college students, and young adults. Life has shown me that personal connections are the foundation of growth and happiness. If you are going through a difficult time at college, please reach out. I offer a free 20 min phone conversation to learn a bit more about each other.

Counseling for anxiety, depression, family/relationship issues, addiction and more.

Anxiety Counseling - If you, your teen, or college student are looking for help managing and alleviating feelings of worry, restlessness, nervousness, tension and fear, I can help you get on the path to feeling better as I specialize in treating all aspects of anxiety and anxiety disorders.

Depression - If you, your teen or college student are experiencing feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness or loss of interest in things that you once enjoyed, I can help you regain hope and feel happiness again.

Family and relationship issues - If you, your teen, or college student are dealing with dysfunctional relationships I can help you navigate your world and restore harmony. I strongly believe that our interpersonal relationships both past and present play a critical role in determining our physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Addiction - If you, your teen, or college student are dealing with alcohol or marijuana substance abuse issues, I can help you regain control of your life and achieve your goals whether that’s sobriety or reduction in use.
