Relationship Counseling in Chicago
Individual Counseling, Dance Therapy, and Couples Workshops to help Adults build thriving relationships and to become more embodied.
You feel disconnected in your relationships
You long to feel close to others, but fully trusting someone and opening up can feel incredibly difficult. While you may put on a good front, inside you often feel alone, anxious, and sometimes scared.
The irritation and exhaustion from constantly proving yourself in relationships, at work, or to the world are all too familiar. You think you “should work harder, do more, or know better.” When you feel like this, you become distracted, making it hard to be fully present in your life and your relationships.
All the perfectionism and overwhelm keep you in your head, totally disconnected from your body. It takes pain or illness to get you to care for your body, otherwise, you don't notice how you feel.
Sometimes you 'know' something in your head but not in your heart. It's hard to really feel and know what you need. You want to find someone who can help you bridge this gap so you can communicate better and feel closer in your relationships.
Relationship Counseling for More Connection with Yourself and Others
My name is Lisaura, a licensed clinical counselor, relationship therapist, and dance therapist who helps adults like you find the connection between your head, heart, and body so you can be truly present in your relationships.
I am here to help you move from painful relationship cycles to more secure ones, whether that be with yourself or with others.
Together, we will explore your unique dance of connection, listening to your body and non-verbal cues to become receptive to the emotional experiences of your partner or other relationships.
Experience a Fuller Connection to Yourself and Your Relationships through an Embodied Approach to Counseling
Through individual relationship counseling, dance therapy, and couples workshops I help adults truly and deeply connect with themselves and others. Together we will move beyond talking about the last fight you had, your insecurity at work, or the anxiety you've been wearing all day and use movement to get you to break patterns of relating that have kept you emotionally isolated and in pain.
Many of my clients say that because of their work with me, they:
Pause and are less reactive when triggered
Listen to body cues and recognize their needs
Don’t push through when feeling exhausted
Allow themselves to rest
Understand what’s underneath behaviors and have more compassion for themselves and others
Have better communication
Have more forgiveness and space to process emotions
Don’t dismiss their first “inkling” anymore
Feel more confident setting boundaries
Second guess themselves less
In our work together, you will discover how simple movements can offer valuable insights into your feelings and how slowing down to listen to your body makes it easier to process your emotions, experiences, and stories.
Because I care about all of you, my approach is holistic and honoring of your faith and spirituality. I offer faith-based counseling for those who want to align their relationships with their spiritual beliefs. Bilingual therapy services are available as well.
