In my practice, I use mindfulness techniques as foundational tools to help clients tune into the present moment and simply notice without judgment. Learning to pay attention on purpose helps us let go of unhelpful habits and behaviors, adopt new ways of moving through the world, view ourselves and others with more compassion, and connect more meaningfully with the people we love. My primary treatment modality is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and I also have extensive experience providing titrate...

I commit to creating a compassionate space for you to break from your daily routine and shed the layers no longer serving you. I believe counseling to be a collaborative journey towards growth, adaptation, and healing. My therapeutic style is infused with creativity, humor, and most importantly empathy. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Positive, Psy...
Hi there! My name is Cory Bedtke, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received a Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University Chicago in 2015, and started my career as a school social worker prior to switching over to clinical work with adults. While this may seem like a big transition, it's funny how similar our problems are at the different stages of life. Currently, I enjoy working with clients in young and middle adulthood who would like to feel less stressed and anxi...

Many people I work with describe their struggles with self-doubt, persistent worries, irrational fears, and "overthinking" tendencies, saying that they second-guess themselves and struggle to quiet their anxious thoughts. Often, these struggles are a result of past traumatic events that have shaped how the brain perceives the world. Other times, these struggles may trace back to unhelpful messaging from outside sources, which can result in learned behaviors, patterns, and ways of thinking that p...

I view therapy not only as a means of reducing emotional distress but also as an approach to personal growth. However, I believe that therapy should not be a way of life and I therefore support clients in developing concrete skills, with emphasis on working with emotions: promoting a better understanding of emotions and emotion regulation. I view therapy as a collaborative process of exploration. I bring to this process an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. I also draw on...
