More about Kenneth

- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with 30 years of professional experience. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed approach that recognizes the strength and resilience each person brings to therapy. I have supported clients through family conflicts, parenting challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, confidence building, and career difficulties.
In our work together, I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. I honor the impact that past experiences—including trauma and adversity—can have on your well-being, relationships, and daily life. My role is to support you with compassion, transparency, and respect, helping you feel grounded, understood, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
Reaching out for help reflects courage and hope. Taking steps toward healing and a more fulfilling life can feel vulnerable, and you don’t have to navigate that journey alone. I am here to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you build the life you want and deserve.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wonderful therapist with excellent experience in dealing with Anxiety, depression, self esteem, and communication. Would recommend to anyone who struggles with any of these. He's very gentle and wise.
Kenneth is an excellent therapist. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and empathetic, but he is also an absolute professional. I have only had a handful of sessions but he has already made fantastic recommendations for me regarding advice of course but also reading material and EXCELLENT questions to ponder. Self growth comes mostly from within, but Ken is giving me all the tools to make me a better person. Thank you Ken!
Down to Earth and insightful- helps with grounding and practical thinking skills that induce mindfulness, gratitude, self-awareness and overall appreciation. Very highly recommend!
Ken has been extremely helpful in helping me in my journey. He has been a great ear and has provided a lot of resources to re-center myself
Kenneth has helped me through my situation tremendously helped me understand that there is purpose in life and that I do have people here when I thought I had nobody And that opening up and moving forward is OK
Ken is an amazing listener and extremely insightful. After just two sessions, he helped me change the way I perceived several things that I feel were holding me back. I would recommend Ken to anyone. None of his advice was generic, but suited specifically for what I needed to grow. I’ll continue to work with Ken even if I feel things in my life are going great.
Ken is amazing! He's very supportive, meets you where you are, identifies new ways to keep you encouraged, or help cope. He's a wealth of knowledge & I'm grateful that we have been able to communicate.
Ken is knowledgeable and also gives several good strategies to conquer life’s obstacle's! “I’m grateful” to have him!
Kenneth is very attentive and supportive, he helps you to be able to get what you want and need out of therapy
Kenneth is a great listener and a very organized therapist. I appreciate his positive outlook, which has influenced me greatly. He responds in a timely manner and has flexible booking options. Also, he can surely make you laugh, if that’s what you need! Highly recommend.
