Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat specific types of anxiety do you treat?
We address various forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobias, and symptoms of anxiety stemming from trauma. Our therapists are trained to diagnose and tailor treatment plans to your specific presentation.
How does your trauma-informed care work?
Our trauma-informed approach recognizes the pervasive impact of trauma and promotes a safe, empowering environment. We prioritize trust, collaboration, and understanding your unique experience. Therapists use specialized techniques like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and cognitive processing therapy (if indicated) to help you process trauma and develop healthy coping strategies.
Are your therapists in Chicago only, or can I access services remotely?
While our primary administrative base is listed in Chicago, Optimum Joy Counseling offers services to clients across the United States, including those in New York and beyond. We provide both in-person therapy (if you are near one of our preferred practice locations or partner facilities) and convenient online/telehealth sessions for remote access.
How long does therapy typically take?
The duration of therapy varies significantly based on individual needs, the complexity of concerns (like trauma), treatment goals, and personal commitment to the process. Some clients experience relief within a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term support, potentially spanning several months or even years. We work collaboratively with you to establish realistic expectations and milestones.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to learn about your background, understand your concerns, and establish rapport. You'll typically fill out intake forms beforehand. During the session, your therapist will listen attentively, ask clarifying questions, explain the therapeutic process, and work with you to set initial goals for treatment. It's a chance to ask questions and get comfortable with your therapist.
