Every so often, life throws us a challenge that can be difficult to overcome alone. Not knowing where to turn, or who to turn to, can often make the problem worse. However, it is important not to let these feelings or challenges escalate.

Going at it alone can be hard. By talking to someone who will not only listen, but can also help you learn the skills required to overcome things, you can start the journey towards healing in a safe and therapeutic environment.

If you’re facing challenges in life, then talking to one of our experienced counselors is a step towards recovery.

The initial counseling session lasts 60-90 minutes and is a chance for the counselor to get to know the individual, their circumstances, and what they want to achieve.

At the DeKalb, IL Braden Counseling Center, we operate on a strength-based model. By understanding a person’s strengths, we can work to build resilience and self-advocacy as well as skill building, increasing self-care and family/community support.

We believe that gaining these skills is the key to overcoming challenges such as:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Chronic Medical Illness
• Bipolar Disorder
• Grief/Loss, Adjustment Disorders
