Catherine Conway, LCPC, CADC

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol & Other Drug Counselor, licensed in Illinois. I have over 18 years experience and have worked with clients with a wide variety and range of concerns related to depression, anxiety, stress management, substance use, trauma and PTSD. I also help clients address grief & loss issues related to life transitions and divorce. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Client-Centered, Psychodynamic, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts therapies.

My counseling style is warm, engaging and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I primarily focus on developing a supportive relationship with clients. I validate my clients' concerns and issues but, also, help them identify their strengths, resilience and healthy problem-solving skills to achieve a quality of life they desire and deserve. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs while providing a safe therapeutic environment.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
