I'd like to tell you some about the psychotherapy I do and about my background. Then, feel free to contact me and we can set up a brief phone consultation (at no charge) to discuss what you want to work on, my background, and if working together might be a good fit. People I work with are often seeking psychotherapy for relief from older patterns of emotions, relationship, behavior, and thought that are now causing them problems, and help implementing new patterns that will lead to greater satisfaction and ability. I have diverse training and experience as a psychotherapist which is very helpful as I try to help each person I work with with collaboration, creativity, sensitivity, and as a unique individual. Technically, I draw on several of the major schools of psychotherapy to work towards goals we would discuss together (psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Schema therapy, DBT, CBT, Jungian psychology, and ACT). In addition to my private practice in Evanston, I work with NorthShore University HealthSystems (formally ENH) in general adult psychiatry and adolescent and adult eating disorders therapy. Seeking psychotherapy is something that takes real courage and real need and can be of great benefit. I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your efforts you are making now on your own behalf. Let me know if I might be able to help. Take care, Curt Kearney
