Individual Therapy

Need individual therapy in Chicago? Ascentia Counseling recognizes that clients know what works best for them. With this in mind, we offer individual therapy both on short- and long-term basis. While some clients seek immediate help to find quick solutions to address pressing concerns, others prefer establishing a long-term therapeutic relationship with the therapist to help build strengths toward reaching personal goals and maintaining emotional well-being.

With a strength-based approach, we empower clients to stay connected with their inner truth and follow their  instincts as they make progress toward their goals. We attune to our clients’ pace and readiness to change while gently challenging them to work through difficult barriers and reward their positive changes.
