Dian Medrano, LPC
Are you goal oriented? Looking to make positive change? Do you need tools for coping with anxiety, stress, and life’s pressures? If so, I’d like to help. My specialties include men’s issues, anxiety, depression, stress, career challenges, and relationship struggles. Many of my clients are business professionals, executives, athletes, and college students.
Using a solution focused, collaborative approach, we can explore the issues that may be causing you to feel stuck. Examples include negative thinking, low self-esteem, past traumas, ADHD, and substance abuse problems.
My Approach
To help you reach your identified goals and create transformation, I use a holistic blend of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-calming tools. Homework is often given as a way of reinforcing concepts explored during your session.
You can expect an interactive professional who is genuinely interested in helping you move through the barriers that are keeping you from your full potential – whatever they might be. I am a LGBTQ affirming professional.
My Credentials
I hold a master’s degree in clinical Mental Health from Concordia University and a bachelors in biology from University of Illinois. Please note that I see clients virtually using HIPAA compliant software or at my office in Lakeview or the West Loop. Should we work together, we can discuss what might work best for your needs.
