DeKalb IL Psychiatric Services

Bartlett IL Psychiatric Services

Braden Counseling Center in DeKalb IL now offers comprehensive psychiatric services, available to you, a member of your family, or as a family unit. There are positive ways to handle even the worst of negative situations.

We will show you how and can help you reach a state of mind that is better for you. With the help of a caring psychiatric provider, we will bring you step-by-step towards feeling like yourself again.

At Braden Counseling Center in DeKalb, we offer licensed, professional staff and a variety of evaluations which all begin with a psychological assessment.

Can a psychological evaluation really help you? There are many reasons an individual from DeKalb can have psychological testing and assessment. You must know upfront that there is no shame attached to your reasons for an assessment, and it is nothing to fear. Just as your primary physician would examine your body for physical ailments, a psychiatric provider examines your mind.

Living with Peace of Mind

Everyone experiences stress. Dealing with negative situations on a daily basis can be detrimental to your well-being. Some people handle stress better than others. If you are in a place where your peace of mind is challenged, the Braden Counseling Center is here for you. We know the latest testing methods that will get to the heart of what is causing you stress. From there, we formulate a plan to begin the healing you are seeking together.

Child Psychological Evaluation

As adults, we have past experiences to help guide us through; with a child it is very different. They might be cast into situations beyond their control and are having difficulties making sense of all that is going on around them. Children are supposed to be happy and free but are often fearful. Some of these fears are rational, while others might be, or at least seem, irrational. The professional psychiatric services we provide at our DeKalb location will help to uncover what is going on in the life and mind of a child.

If a child is having difficulties in school, the automatic response most people have is often that he/she is just not trying hard enough. However, there might be underlying factors, such as parental divorce, vision problems, or bullying that can undermine a child’s life.

Our counselors at Braden Counseling Center will work to uncover what is going on in a child’s mind and help them to work through it. A psychiatric evaluation is just the beginning to uncovering all that is going on in a child’s life. If you feel your child would benefit from a psychiatric evaluation, contact us today. A psychological evaluation is not the end of a journey for children in DeKalb, but it can be the beginning of a road to recovery.

The Factors of a Psychiatric Evaluation

When you come to our DeKalb office, you will see a psychiatric evaluation is broken down into these components:

  • The Therapist
  • The Client
  • The Psychiatric Provider
  • Trust

You must have these four components to make progress. The therapist must know their client completely in order to lead them to a successful outcome. The client must be open and truthful about their life. The more honest and open the communication, the more opportunity there is for lasting change.

The psychiatric provider must know which medication, if any, to prescribe to help meet the challenges for their client. Finally, and most crucially, there must be mutual trust. The relationship between the therapist and the client is unique. It is a partnership that will take time to come to a successful conclusion.

Begin Your Path to Recovery Today

Your psychological assessment can start today. No matter the reason you or a loved one might feel the need for psychiatric services, please know there is no shame in seeking help. Avoid common misconceptions about psychiatry and what it is for. The best way to learn more about psychiatric services is to get in touch. We understand that life is very different from what you see in popular media. We can stop any assumptions that would lead you in the wrong directions.

There are skills you can learn to manage your life more effectively. At Braden Counseling Center, our experienced staff will offer these to you. Our comprehensive psychiatric services are here to provide you with better mental health. It all begins with a free consultation.

Our outpatient behavioral health programs and services are geared for getting results. We have helped hundreds of clients see their way to a new tomorrow, and we are here to do that for you as well. If you are looking for practical, thoughtful help for you or a loved one, we urge you to get in touch with one of the five locations of Braden Counseling Center.

While our location in DeKalb might be the closest to you, we also have offices in Elgin, Rochelle, North Aurora, and Sycamore. Our staff has the skills and experience to properly evaluate difficult situations and transform the lives of our patients. Contact us today for more information about our psychiatric services.

I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda Cimaglia and she let's me work through things I need to at my own pace. And for that I thank her 😊 . She has my mental health at her best interest. Wish there was more counselors out there like her so others can have a safe spot to speak without judgment like I do.From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Amanada Cimaglia and Braden Counseling for having her on board. I'm sure all your staff and team members are just as compassionate ❤️

    Batavia IL Psychiatric Services

    Sycamore IL Psyciatric Services

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are about helping you. We are fully aware of how stressful life can be. From financial difficulties to relationships, enduring your thoughts on these subjects on a daily basis can be paralyzing. You may not know the source of your stress, but an evaluation by us can help get you on the path to recovery.

    Our services include domestic violence, driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, and counseling individuals, couples and families. In addition to those, Braden Counseling Center now offers comprehensive psychiatric services for our Batavia clients. For every level of stress and fear you might be facing today, we have a way to break through your problems and create a path to a new tomorrow.

    When you enlist the help of a psychiatric evaluation at Braden Counseling Center serving Batavia clients, you are one step closer to being healed. Our staff comprises of licensed professionals who undertake unbiased psychological assessments for all our clients. We want you to get back to a full life and our programs will help you take the necessary steps.

    Batavia Psychological Assessment

    If you think you need a psych evaluation, there are many reasons why and no reason to feel ashamed or afraid of. Just like your primary physician will examine your body for a physical malady, a psychological evaluation is for your mind.

    Stress Management

    Life gets stressful for all of us. There are demands which must be met every day such as work, family, time constraints, relationships, etc. Learning to manage boundaries and obligations that come with living is what we do. Unfortunately, stress can often do a real number on our sanity and how we feel at any given moment.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are happy to let you know that we use the latest and most effective strategies for overcoming the stresses of life. The professional psychiatric services we offer in Batavia get to the very heart of what is causing you difficulties. We develop a plan for you that will get you results.

    Child Psychological Evaluation

    We often see children as happy little people without a care in the world. In many cases though, nothing could be further from the truth. Children face doubts and fears in everyday life, just as adults do. However, because they are children, they are less likely to know how to work through such emotions.

    For instance, if a child is doing poorly in school, people tend to think they are not working hard enough at their studies. There could be outside factors affecting them though. Divorce, depression, hearing or vision problems, the death of a family member, or bullying are just some of the things that can cause a child to feel boxed into a corner.

    The psychological testing and assessment we will give your child will uncover what is going on in their mind. Our providers will help them toward a better tomorrow. Never make the mistake of assuming that a child cannot be helped through psychological evaluation and assistance. We recommend that you offer them the help they need now, just as you would for any physical ailment.

    Factors in a Psychological Evaluation

    There are components to every psychological evaluation from a counselor serving our Batavia clients. There is:

    The Therapist – They need to fully understand their client from the inside out, in order to effectively treat their patients. What is it that has led this person to how they are feeling today?
    The Client – Everyone needs to be open and truthful about their treatment in order to move towards healing. Every client should be open to what needs to change in their life in order for successful outcomes.
    The Psychiatric Provider – This person needs to know all about medications that can be used to manage challenges of a client if needed.
    Trust – Trust needs to be a two-way street. Without trust on both sides, it is difficult, if not impossible, to make good progress.

    Let Braden Counseling Center Lead You to Good Mental Health

    There is no shame in admitting you need help dealing with mental health. If you or a loved one know you need help, your first step is admitting that. Then contact our team serving Batavia clients as soon as you can. There are problems which come our way every day in unexpected ways, and they happen to all of us.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we have been a leading provider of behavioral health services since 2002. Now, with the addition of our comprehensive psychiatric services, there is so much more we can do to help you through some of life’s most difficult moments. We have helped hundreds of clients to see their way to a better tomorrow. There is no reason we cannot do the same for you.

    Our counseling services include domestic violence, DUI, C.A.L.M., driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, individual, couples, and family sessions. Our evaluations include DUI, anger, ADD/ADHD, alcohol and drugs, depression, and more. The court-ordered psychological evaluations, or other evaluations, we have for our Batavia clients will lead to learning new skills for managing your life.

    For more information about our psychiatric services or to get started, get in touch with Braden Counseling Center today, or visit one of our other locations in Bartlett, Rochelle, Geneva, and Elgin.

    I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda Cimaglia and she let's me work through things I need to at my own pace. And for that I thank her 😊 . She has my mental health at her best interest. Wish there was more counselors out there like her so others can have a safe spot to speak without judgment like I do.From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Amanada Cimaglia and Braden Counseling for having her on board. I'm sure all your staff and team members are just as compassionate ❤️

    I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda Cimaglia and she let's me work through things I need to at my own pace. And for that I thank her 😊 . She has my mental health at her best interest. Wish there was more counselors out there like her so others can have a safe spot to speak without judgment like I do.From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Amanada Cimaglia and Braden Counseling for having her on board. I'm sure all your staff and team members are just as compassionate ❤️

    Carpentersville IL Psychiatric Services

    Sycamore IL Psyciatric Services

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are about helping you. We are fully aware of how stressful life can be. From financial difficulties to relationships, enduring your thoughts on these subjects on a daily basis can be paralyzing. You may not know the source of your stress, but an evaluation by us can help get you on the path to recovery.

    Our services include domestic violence, driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, and counseling individuals, couples and families. In addition to those, Braden Counseling Center now offers comprehensive psychiatric services for our Carpentersville clients. For every level of stress and fear you might be facing today, we have a way to break through your problems and create a path to a new tomorrow.

    When you enlist the help of a psychiatric evaluation at Braden Counseling Center serving Carpentersville, you are one step closer to being healed. Our staff comprises of licensed professionals who undertake unbiased psychological assessments for all our clients. We want you to get back to a full life and our programs will help you take the necessary steps.

    Carpentersville Psychological Assessment

    If you think you need a psych evaluation, there are many reasons why and no reason to feel ashamed or afraid of. Just like your primary physician will examine your body for a physical malady, a psychological evaluation is for your mind.

    Stress Management

    Life gets stressful for all of us. There are demands which must be met every day such as work, family, time constraints, relationships, etc. Learning to manage boundaries and obligations that come with living is what we do. Unfortunately, stress can often do a real number on our sanity and how we feel at any given moment.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are happy to let you know that we use the latest and most effective strategies for overcoming the stresses of life. The professional psychiatric services we offer for Carpentersville clients get to the very heart of what is causing you difficulties. We develop a plan for you that will get you results.

    Child Psychological Evaluation

    We often see children as happy little people without a care in the world. In many cases though, nothing could be further from the truth. Children face doubts and fears in everyday life, just as adults do. However, because they are children, they are less likely to know how to work through such emotions.

    For instance, if a child is doing poorly in school, people tend to think they are not working hard enough at their studies. There could be outside factors affecting them though. Divorce, depression, hearing or vision problems, the death of a family member, or bullying are just some of the things that can cause a child to feel boxed into a corner.

    The psychological testing and assessment we will give your child will uncover what is going on in their mind. Our providers will help them toward a better tomorrow. Never make the mistake of assuming that a child cannot be helped through psychological evaluation and assistance. We recommend that you offer them the help they need now, just as you would for any physical ailment.

    Factors in a Psychological Evaluation

    There are components to every psychological evaluation from a counselor serving our Carpentersville clients. There is:

    The Therapist – They need to fully understand their client from the inside out, in order to effectively treat their patients. What is it that has led this person to how they are feeling today?
    The Client – Everyone needs to be open and truthful about their treatment in order to move towards healing. Every client should be open to what needs to change in their life in order for successful outcomes.
    The Psychiatric Provider – This person needs to know all about medications that can be used to manage challenges of a client if needed.
    Trust – Trust needs to be a two-way street. Without trust on both sides, it is difficult, if not impossible, to make good progress.

    Let Braden Counseling Center Lead You to Good Mental Health

    There is no shame in admitting you need help dealing with mental health. If you or a loved one know you need help, your first step is admitting that. Then contact our team serving Carpentersville as soon as you can. There are problems which come our way every day in unexpected ways, and they happen to all of us.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we have been a leading provider of behavioral health services since 2002. Now, with the addition of our comprehensive psychiatric services, there is so much more we can do to help you through some of life’s most difficult moments. We have helped hundreds of clients to see their way to a better tomorrow. There is no reason we cannot do the same for you.

    Our counseling services include domestic violence, DUI, C.A.L.M., driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, individual, couples, and family sessions. Our evaluations include DUI, anger, ADD/ADHD, alcohol and drugs, depression, and more. The court-ordered psychological evaluations, or other evaluations, we have for our Carpentersville clients will lead to learning new skills for managing your life.

    For more information about our psychiatric services or to get started, get in touch with Braden Counseling Center serving Carpentersville clients today, or visit one of our locations in Bartlett, Rochelle, Geneva, and Elgin.

    Creston IL Psychiatric Services

    Sycamore IL Psyciatric Services

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are about helping you. We are fully aware of how stressful life can be. From financial difficulties to relationships, enduring your thoughts on these subjects on a daily basis can be paralyzing. You may not know the source of your stress, but an evaluation by us can help get you on the path to recovery.

    Our services include domestic violence, driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, and counseling individuals, couples and families. In addition to those, Braden Counseling Center now offers comprehensive psychiatric services for our Creston clients. For every level of stress and fear you might be facing today, we have a way to break through your problems and create a path to a new tomorrow.

    When you enlist the help of a psychiatric evaluation at Braden Counseling Center serving Creston, you are one step closer to being healed. Our staff comprises of licensed professionals who undertake unbiased psychological assessments for all our clients. We want you to get back to a full life and our programs will help you take the necessary steps.

    Creston Psychological Assessment

    If you think you need a psych evaluation, there are many reasons why and no reason to feel ashamed or afraid of. Just like your primary physician will examine your body for a physical malady, a psychological evaluation is for your mind.

    Stress Management

    Life gets stressful for all of us. There are demands which must be met every day such as work, family, time constraints, relationships, etc. Learning to manage boundaries and obligations that come with living is what we do. Unfortunately, stress can often do a real number on our sanity and how we feel at any given moment.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are happy to let you know that we use the latest and most effective strategies for overcoming the stresses of life. The professional psychiatric services we offer for our Creston clients get to the very heart of what is causing you difficulties. We develop a plan for you that will get you results.

    Child Psychological Evaluation

    We often see children as happy little people without a care in the world. In many cases though, nothing could be further from the truth. Children face doubts and fears in everyday life, just as adults do. However, because they are children, they are less likely to know how to work through such emotions.

    For instance, if a child is doing poorly in school, people tend to think they are not working hard enough at their studies. There could be outside factors affecting them though. Divorce, depression, hearing or vision problems, the death of a family member, or bullying are just some of the things that can cause a child to feel boxed into a corner.

    The psychological testing and assessment we will give your child will uncover what is going on in their mind. Our providers will help them toward a better tomorrow. Never make the mistake of assuming that a child cannot be helped through psychological evaluation and assistance. We recommend that you offer them the help they need now, just as you would for any physical ailment.

    Factors in a Psychological Evaluation

    There are components to every psychological evaluation from a counselor at a branch. There is:

    The Therapist – They need to fully understand their client from the inside out, in order to effectively treat their patients. What is it that has led this person to how they are feeling today?
    The Client – Everyone needs to be open and truthful about their treatment in order to move towards healing. Every client should be open to what needs to change in their life in order for successful outcomes.
    The Psychiatric Provider – This person needs to know all about medications that can be used to manage challenges of a client if needed.
    Trust – Trust needs to be a two-way street. Without trust on both sides, it is difficult, if not impossible, to make good progress.

    Let Braden Counseling Center Lead You to Good Mental Health

    There is no shame in admitting you need help dealing with mental health. If you or a loved one know you need help, your first step is admitting that. Then contact our team serving Creston as soon as you can. There are problems which come our way every day in unexpected ways, and they happen to all of us.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we have been a leading provider of behavioral health services since 2002. Now, with the addition of our comprehensive psychiatric services, there is so much more we can do to help you through some of life’s most difficult moments. We have helped hundreds of clients to see their way to a better tomorrow. There is no reason we cannot do the same for you.

    Our counseling services include domestic violence, DUI, C.A.L.M., driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, individual, couples, and family sessions. Our evaluations include DUI, anger, ADD/ADHD, alcohol and drugs, depression, and more. The court-ordered psychological evaluations, or other evaluations, we have in our Creston location will lead to learning new skills for managing your life.

    For more information about our psychiatric services or to get started, get in touch with Braden Counseling Center serving Creston clients today, or visit one of our other locations in Bartlett, Rochelle, Geneva, and Elgin.

    I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda Cimaglia and she let's me work through things I need to at my own pace. And for that I thank her 😊 . She has my mental health at her best interest. Wish there was more counselors out there like her so others can have a safe spot to speak without judgment like I do.From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Amanada Cimaglia and Braden Counseling for having her on board. I'm sure all your staff and team members are just as compassionate ❤️

    I called so many other counseling office first, either no one answer the call or no confirmed days for class, with Braden, right away, walk me through the process, fees and needed information, able to set up appointment next day to do the testing and schedule me the class right way. very helpful, not like some other place asked me to fill out so many medical forms although just 10 hours DUI Risk Education.I am really happy with them, they are also not charge as much as other company.

    I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda Cimaglia and she let's me work through things I need to at my own pace. And for that I thank her 😊 . She has my mental health at her best interest. Wish there was more counselors out there like her so others can have a safe spot to speak without judgment like I do.From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Amanada Cimaglia and Braden Counseling for having her on board. I'm sure all your staff and team members are just as compassionate ❤️

    Genoa IL Psychiatric Services

    Sycamore IL Psyciatric Services

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are about helping you. We are fully aware of how stressful life can be. From financial difficulties to relationships, enduring your thoughts on these subjects on a daily basis can be paralyzing. You may not know the source of your stress, but an evaluation by us can help get you on the path to recovery.

    Our services include domestic violence, driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, and counseling individuals, couples and families. In addition to those, Braden Counseling Center now offers comprehensive psychiatric services for our Genoa clients. For every level of stress and fear you might be facing today, we have a way to break through your problems and create a path to a new tomorrow.

    When you enlist the help of a psychiatric evaluation at Braden Counseling Center serving Genoa, you are one step closer to being healed. Our staff comprises of licensed professionals who undertake unbiased psychological assessments for all our clients. We want you to get back to a full life and our programs will help you take the necessary steps.

    Genoa Psychological Assessment

    If you think you need a psych evaluation, there are many reasons why and no reason to feel ashamed or afraid of. Just like your primary physician will examine your body for a physical malady, a psychological evaluation is for your mind.

    Stress Management

    Life gets stressful for all of us. There are demands which must be met every day such as work, family, time constraints, relationships, etc. Learning to manage boundaries and obligations that come with living is what we do. Unfortunately, stress can often do a real number on our sanity and how we feel at any given moment.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are happy to let you know that we use the latest and most effective strategies for overcoming the stresses of life. The professional psychiatric services we offer for those residing in Genoa get to the very heart of what is causing you difficulties. We develop a plan for you that will get you results.

    Child Psychological Evaluation

    We often see children as happy little people without a care in the world. In many cases though, nothing could be further from the truth. Children face doubts and fears in everyday life, just as adults do. However, because they are children, they are less likely to know how to work through such emotions.

    For instance, if a child is doing poorly in school, people tend to think they are not working hard enough at their studies. There could be outside factors affecting them though. Divorce, depression, hearing or vision problems, the death of a family member, or bullying are just some of the things that can cause a child to feel boxed into a corner.

    The psychological testing and assessment we will give your child will uncover what is going on in their mind. Our providers will help them toward a better tomorrow. Never make the mistake of assuming that a child cannot be helped through psychological evaluation and assistance. We recommend that you offer them the help they need now, just as you would for any physical ailment.

    Factors in a Psychological Evaluation

    There are components to every psychological evaluation from a counselor serving our Genoa clients. There is:

    The Therapist – They need to fully understand their client from the inside out, in order to effectively treat their patients. What is it that has led this person to how they are feeling today?
    The Client – Everyone needs to be open and truthful about their treatment in order to move towards healing. Every client should be open to what needs to change in their life in order for successful outcomes.
    The Psychiatric Provider – This person needs to know all about medications that can be used to manage challenges of a client if needed.
    Trust – Trust needs to be a two-way street. Without trust on both sides, it is difficult, if not impossible, to make good progress.

    Let Braden Counseling Center Lead You to Good Mental Health

    There is no shame in admitting you need help dealing with mental health. If you or a loved one know you need help, your first step is admitting that. Then contact our team serving the Genoa area as soon as you can. There are problems which come our way every day in unexpected ways, and they happen to all of us.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we have been a leading provider of behavioral health services since 2002. Now, with the addition of our comprehensive psychiatric services, there is so much more we can do to help you through some of life’s most difficult moments. We have helped hundreds of clients to see their way to a better tomorrow. There is no reason we cannot do the same for you.

    Our counseling services include domestic violence, DUI, C.A.L.M., driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, individual, couples, and family sessions. Our evaluations include DUI, anger, ADD/ADHD, alcohol and drugs, depression, and more. The court-ordered psychological evaluations, or other evaluations, we have for our Genoa clients will lead to learning new skills for managing your life.

    For more information about our psychiatric services or to get started, get in touch with Braden Counseling Center serving Genoa today, or visit one of our locations in Bartlett, Rochelle, Geneva, and Elgin.

    Hanover Park IL Psychiatric Services

    Sycamore IL Psyciatric Services

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are about helping you. We are fully aware of how stressful life can be. From financial difficulties to relationships, enduring your thoughts on these subjects on a daily basis can be paralyzing. You may not know the source of your stress, but an evaluation by us can help get you on the path to recovery.

    Our services include domestic violence, driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse treatment, and counseling individuals, couples and families. In addition to those, Braden Counseling Center now offers comprehensive psychiatric services serving Hanover Park clients. For every level of stress and fear you might be facing today, we have a way to break through your problems and create a path to a new tomorrow.

    When you enlist the help of a psychiatric evaluation at Braden Counseling Center serving Hanover Park, you are one step closer to being healed. Our staff comprises of licensed professionals who undertake unbiased psychological assessments for all our clients. We want you to get back to a full life and our programs will help you take the necessary steps.

    Hanover Park Psychological Assessment

    If you think you need a psych evaluation, there are many reasons why and no reason to feel ashamed or afraid of. Just like your primary physician will examine your body for a physical malady, a psychological evaluation is for your mind.

    Stress Management

    Life gets stressful for all of us. There are demands which must be met every day such as work, family, time constraints, relationships, etc. Learning to manage boundaries and obligations that come with living is what we do. Unfortunately, stress can often do a real number on our sanity and how we feel at any given moment.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we are happy to let you know that we use the latest and most effective strategies for overcoming the stresses of life. The professional psychiatric services we offer for Hanover Park clients get to the very heart of what is causing you difficulties. We develop a plan for you that will get you results.

    Child Psychological Evaluation

    We often see children as happy little people without a care in the world. In many cases though, nothing could be further from the truth. Children face doubts and fears in everyday life, just as adults do. However, because they are children, they are less likely to know how to work through such emotions.

    For instance, if a child is doing poorly in school, people tend to think they are not working hard enough at their studies. There could be outside factors affecting them though. Divorce, depression, hearing or vision problems, the death of a family member, or bullying are just some of the things that can cause a child to feel boxed into a corner.

    The psychological testing and assessment we will give your child will uncover what is going on in their mind. Our providers will help them toward a better tomorrow. Never make the mistake of assuming that a child cannot be helped through psychological evaluation and assistance. We recommend that you offer them the help they need now, just as you would for any physical ailment.

    Factors in a Psychological Evaluation

    There are components to every psychological evaluation from a counselor serving our Hanover Park clients. There is:

    The Therapist – They need to fully understand their client from the inside out, in order to effectively treat their patients. What is it that has led this person to how they are feeling today?
    The Client – Everyone needs to be open and truthful about their treatment in order to move towards healing. Every client should be open to what needs to change in their life in order for successful outcomes.
    The Psychiatric Provider – This person needs to know all about medications that can be used to manage challenges of a client if needed.
    Trust – Trust needs to be a two-way street. Without trust on both sides, it is difficult, if not impossible, to make good progress.

    Let Braden Counseling Center Lead You to Good Mental Health

    There is no shame in admitting you need help dealing with mental health. If you or a loved one know you need help, your first step is admitting that. Then contact our team serving Hanover Park clients as soon as you can. There are problems which come our way every day in unexpected ways, and they happen to all of us.

    At Braden Counseling Center, we have been a leading provider of behavioral health services since 2002. Now, with the addition of our comprehensive psychiatric services, there is so much more we can do to help you through some of life’s most difficult moments. We have helped hundreds of clients to see their way to a better tomorrow. There is no reason we cannot do the same for you.

Our evaluations include DUI, anger, ADD/ADHD, alcohol and drugs, depression, and more.

    I called so many other counseling office first, either no one answer the call or no confirmed days for class, with Braden, right away, walk me through the process, fees and needed information, able to set up appointment next day to do the testing and schedule me the class right way. very helpful, not like some other place asked me to fill out so many medical forms although just 10 hours DUI Risk Education.I am really happy with them, they are also not charge as much as other company.

    I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda
