Patricia McMahon, PsyD is a Clinical Psychologist who offers psychotherapy and counseling to clients in downtown Chicago and Park Ridge offices. Talk therapy can be helpful in many ways. Sometimes it helps you process significant difficulties interfering with happiness. At other times, the process is more subtle and focuses on ways to improve your life, bringing it closer to what you want.
Both uses result in personal growth. Counseling can help you to better understand your feelings, thoughts, motivations, behavior and relationships. The goal of better self understanding is to be in more deliberate control of your decisions and actions. Counseling works by creating neurological changes in your brain over time that affect your experience in relationships and family or job situations.

Services
When in counseling with me, you will better understand where and how you have the most control in your life. Sometimes, these pivot points may be different than either of us expect at first glance. During your first counseling appointment we will discuss what brought you to contact me. This sets the stage for our work together.
Academic issues: including time management, test taking, or choosing a field of study in preparation for a career. Cultural diversity, acculturation and identity issues experienced by 1st generation U.S. born citizens, international residents, or US citizens returning from living abroad. Grief and mourning responses to losses involving relationships with people/pets, jobs, following geographical moves.
Psychotherapy is a commitment to your health and well being. The financial cost is similar in importance to other choices that improve the quality of your life such as education, required or elected medical procedures, career training, or vacations. In some situations, committing to counseling can be as essential as food and housing.
