We live in a world that is slowly becoming more accepting. Yet it’s hard to realize that LGBTQ+ stigma still exists. The stigma shows itself in mental health within the LGBTQIA+ community.

At Evanston Counseling, our LGBTQ+ therapists create a safe and affirming space for you to transcend the stigma.

You’ll then be on your journey towards greater mental wellness.

There is transformative power in embracing your authenticity.

Finding mental health support from an LGBTQ-Affirming therapist could seem like a hefty task in our often binary-thinking world.

Even in the field of mental health, you could be confronted with casual homophobia or transphobia.

When you’re dealing with profound questions about your gender identity or sexual orientation, you need someone who understands what you are going through. You want to be able to connect with and trust your therapist.

Our Evanston Counseling therapists provide a welcoming space for people who identify as le***an, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) to not only explore but to heal and live authentically.

Reach out to us. We are here for you. Link in bio.

Which one would you rather
receive from your partner? A beautiful bouquet of flowers, a free morning because your partner took your kids to the park or the words “You’re an amazing mom!” whispered in your ear?

Understanding how you most like to receive love (what you might call your “love language”) can help you better communicate your needs to your partner.

Once you begin to love yourself and clearly express how you want to receive love, you will begin to feel filled up. Then you can let that full cup spill over onto your partner!

Check out our blog, “Rekindle the Spark: Learn to Speak Your Partner’s Love Language,” to discover more about the benefits of loving yourself. Link in bio.

When we start to feel overwhelmed our breath gets shorter and our heart rate goes up. Grounding techniques like paced breathing can help our bodies relax and reduce our anxiety. This form of paced breathing focuses on breathing in and out through the nose, but you can also breath in through your nose and out through the mouth if you're more comfortable with that. If you're interested in learning more about grounding techniques like paced breathing, give us a call at 773-983-8444 or go to our website (link in bio) to schedule your free, 15 minute consultation.

A life transition could be something you've waited for excitedly like getting married or graduating from college.

Or the change in your life could be totally out of your control, like getting fired or laid off from your job.

It doesn't matter if the triggering event is positive or negative. Your anxiety could surge and life might feel shaky.

Read our most recent post, "Life Transitions: from Anxiety to Harmony" to find tips to make any transition a little less scary.

When anxiety is triggered, you start breathing more quickly.
This is your body's way of getting in more oxygen to
fuel the survival response.

This is a natural response that we need to be automatic. For example, if a bus is speeding your way you don't want to think through getting out of the way. You want your body to move instinctively to protect yourself.

However, the brain's fear response is a bit like a smoke alarm. Meaning it isn't always great at knowing what's a house fire and what's a piece of burnt toast.

So, in situations when your life isn't in danger the automatic survival response is the same. Tools like Square Breathing can help tell the body that you're safe by slowing down your breathing, and lowering your heart rate. Sort of like pushing the reset button on your smoke alarm.

If you interested in exploring this process more, give us a call at 773-983-8444 or through our website (link in bio) to schedule a free, 15 min consultation.
