Overview
Are you having difficulty in your personal life or marriage? During the over thirty years that I have been in practice, I have found that a practical, commonsense approach to counseling is most effective. Through this approach which pays particularly close attention to relationships and family dynamics, I have had a great deal of success helping individuals develop a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment with their lives, and have helped innumerable couples resolve their differences and obtain satisfaction in their relationship. I have offices in Northbrook and Oak Brook. If you would like to discuss your situation or set up an appointment, simply give me a call at (877) 250-2723 or e-mail me at info@rorygilbert.net.

Why People Come to See Me
People come to see me when they are hurting emotionally. They may be feeling lonely and depressed or overly anxious. They may be having difficulties in relationships or have recently experienced a break up. They may find that their drinking is getting out of control or the drinking of a loved one is getting out of control. In short, I work with normal, everyday people who are at a low point in their lives.
Individual and Couples Psychotherapy
The vast majority of my work is with individual adults and couples. I consider myself first and foremeost a marriage and relationship counselor. I view personal problems from a family systems perspective and treat a wide range of issues that include depression and anxiety as well as alcoholism and other addictive disorders. Concerning couples, see the Men's Issues/Women's Issues page for more details and checkout my blog that is dedicated to dating and relationships.

Adolescent Counseling
The teenage years present their own special set of problems. My years of experience as a therapist (not to mention as a parent!) have taught me when to be direct and confrontive and when to be nurturing and supportive. I believe that I am particularly adept at maintaining an adolescent's need for privacy with respecting the parents' need to be part of the counseling process. Often when I see a teenager, we engage in a combination of individual and family therapy that includes the parent. |
