How We Got Started

I started out as a solo practitioner where I saw clients, did the billing, the scheduling, and addressed any issues with insurance companies. I was truly a "Jack of all Trades." As my practice continued, word of mouth referrals started to grow and I realized I could not serve all those that called by myself. I hired a therapist in 2012 and since then we have grown to a practice of seven mental health clinicians, with experiences ranging from expertise with children through adults as well as families and couples. Recently, I hired a mental health clinician who is bilingual and can serve the needs of Spanish speaking clients in the community. Bolingbrook has been a wonderful place to start, develop, and grow a business. We expect to stay in the community for many years to come.

When I am stressed, I always do deep breathing as it calms down my central nervous system. I also love to use essential oils like lavender and yang ylang and others in a diffuser. Additionally, I listen to meditations or sometimes the sound of the ocean. And finally, yoga is wonderful for stress...

In general, when one is depressed, it is important to move our bodies whether that means going for a walk or joining a gym. Good sleep hygiene and healthy eating is very important in general and even more so when one is depressed. Keeping a mood diary can be helpful (you can get them on line for free) where you track your mood throughout the day. It can reveal patterns or antecedent events that preceded feeling depressed. Also keeping a thought log can be help where you write down a situation or event that happened. Then you write how you thought about or interpreted the situation. And, based on how you interpreted a situation, write how you feel. Then you can think about others way that the same situation can be interpreted and what results is a change in emotions. In other words, negative thoughts equal negative emotions. I always recommend meeting with your primary care doctor to rule out any conditions that may look like depression but aren't. It can be quite helpful to seek out a Mental Health professional for help. In some cases, seeking out the help of a Psychiatrist can be beneficial.

(more) Everything that has been talked about ---They are all great ideas. As an addition, about 5 years ago I decided to develop a group practice. I did it slowly as I was not sure where all the clients would come from. Besides insurance panels I developed relationships with doctors, attended community fairs, got on lists at hospitals for when people were being discharged and needed outpatient services. As of recent, I have three other part time clinicians, of which one is Biligual And accepts sliding scale fee when needed. Adding this info to my website has helped move me up the line so to speak. I also recently joined Yelp and added a video to Yelp. It is not cheap but I think it is helping me have a stronger presence on line. Finally word of mouth referrals has made a difference also I have a question, how do you get clients to give you a review

Schools and really anyplace where a mental health professional is needed. It could be small groups or large groups. Whenever an organization wants to present a mental health topic to its members or community, a mental health clinician might be the professional to speak.
