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...

Hi, I'm Kim! For the past 25 years, I’ve been supporting people, just like you and me, to lead more fulfilling lives. By moving past the pain caused by trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, anger or whatever it is that leaves you feeling stuck, you’ll be able to focus on what is truly important to you. In this collaborative process, you’ll find that "you" becomes more clear allowing you to show up in the ways you'd like at home, work and in relationships. I wholeheartedly believe you have the ans...

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 help bright, dynamic students deal with the anxiety and overwhelm that can creep up as you're out there doing what you always thought you were supposed to be doing. You work really hard but it's getting harder to hold it all together as you wrestle with the doubts and the stress. Your relationships might be feeling less than happy and fulfilling lately, or you're just plain overwhelmed. On the outside, you look like you have it all together - but that doesn't make you feel OK on the inside. I...

At one point or another we can all benefit from what therapy has to offer.

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...
