Ruchi Ray, LCPC Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois

It is crucial for us to have the courage and motivation to break our own unhealthy cycles and gain insight into our potentials. You deserve a respectful and individualized approach to therapy, and I am committed to helping you create and maintain healthy changes in your life. I am an empathic and supportive therapist who will also be direct and challenge you to move forward to reach your goals. With over seven years of clinical experience, I work with you so you can become your best advocate, strengthen your will to run against self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors, and find/maintain relationships that will nurture your inner self.

I have worked with individuals experiencing struggles with life transitions, work-related issues, mood disorders, infidelity in intimate partner relationships, and social/family relationships in addition to post-traumatic stress, anxiety, emotional regulation issues, and domestic violence.

I believe our thinking patterns, emotions, and how we decide to behave or deal with hard situations as humans impacts our overall well-being. I am here to support you, and I am dedicated to helping you identify and explore barriers, discuss problem solving, and develop and practice skills you can use outside of session to achieve your goals.
