Diana Ruiz, MA, LCPC

Founder and Clinical Psychotherapist

Hi, I am a psychotherapist and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor serving Chicago, Wheeling, IL, and the Chicago-land-area. I have 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological assessments. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago and The Chicago School of Progressional Psychology. I completed a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Clinical Psychology.

I have clinical training in various methods to resolve trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, social anxiety, and depression. I practice theoretical approaches such as person-centered, psychodynamic, trauma theories (traumatic stress studies), CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), and DBT. I will support you an be part of your team in navigating stress, feeling better, and improving your life. Whether you want to reduce emotional pain, improve relationships, or want to accomplish other goals, therapy may be suitable for that process. Therapy is also helpful to work through your past, symptom relief, or make positive changes.

I help my clients identify their challenges and explore where they stem. I offer a warm and supportive environment to tackle challenges and problems at your own pace. Most importantly, I offer techniques and teach you skills to solve problems, symptoms, and life challenges.

We will work on the following:

  • Restructuring and rewiring your thoughts to improve emotional distress

  • Learn skills to manage emotions, crises, and overwhelming feelings

  • Address relationship challenges

  • Finding better ways to cope

  • and most importantly, reduce symptoms
