<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#000080" size="2">My
name is Kathryn Keller and I have been a psychotherapist and personal life coach
since 1981. My joy in life is helping people move toward a future not just get
over a past. I am a Board Certified Diplomate in my profession and Licensed
as an Independent Practitioner.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#000080" size="2">I
am committed to providing my clients with couseling in depth practical approaches
for enhancing their lives and changing unhelpful patterns. Clients
work with me not only to understand themselves but also to devise
practical solutions to their problems. I work with clients on both
personal and professional issues. I help clients discern what is
really important to them and foster and nurture their efforts toward
what really matters.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#000080" size="2"><b>My
areas of interest and expertise are self-esteem, shyness, grief/loss,
loneliness, stress management, effective communication, and healthy
relationship building.</b> When appropriate, my clients and I deal
together with any underlying depression and anxiety that may contribute
to their difficulties. My clients and I work together not only to
manage and transform life's challenges but also to create and move
toward their visions for their lives. Self psychology, cognitive
therapy, and personal life coaching are the primary disciplines
I enlist to assist clients in meeting their goals.</font></p>
<p><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" color="#000080" size="2">Do
come in and explore my website for a more extensive explanation of my practice
in counseling, psychotherapy, personal life coaching and executive coaching and for a schedule of my seminars.
I am happy you stopped by.</font></p>

am a psychotherapist and personal life coach with more than 20 years experience.
My credential, <a href="http://spinotew1.commerce.state.il.us/dfsim.nsf/0/d6f0fc357b663e188625663a007217ad?OpenDocument" target="_blank">LCSW</a>
(Licensed Clinical Social Worker) means that I am licensed to practice. I have
a Master's Degree in my field with an emphasis on Psychotherapy/ Counseling
and a two year internship specializing in psychotherapy. Beyond this, I have

Certified Diplomate</a> (BCD) in my profession.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="3" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b><u>Experience</u></b></font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b>For
more than 20 years I have worked with adults on an individual basis
in the following areas: self-esteem, shyness, loneliness, loss and
grief, dealing with fear, life transitions, stress management, effective
communication, and healthy relationship building. </b>I have also
worked in the areas of depression and anxiety. I have worked with
clients on <b>both personal and professional issues</b> with an
emphasis on helping them move toward the future rather than just
getting over the past.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I
have been featured on AM Chicago and was written about in a full page article
in the Q section of the <u>Sunday Tribune</u> on April 6, 2003.<br>

<p><font color="#000080" size="2"><b><font size="4" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">How
the right Psychotherapist/Counselor can help you</font></b></font> </p>
<p> <font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Let
me begin by saying that anyone can say he or she does psychotherapy.
This is why it is so important to find someone with solid professional
education and experience. Equally important is finding someone who
will help you discern what is deeply important to you and support
your efforts in moving toward what really matters in your life.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b>Psychotherapy
is about having a relationship with someone who is totally in your
corner. The therapist brings knowledge and experience to help you
deal with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to address real
life situations. </b></font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b>Psychotherapy
is a very real process where you are helped to discover and deal
with whatever is keeping you stuck and where you receive assistance
in making the really difficult decisions about your life.</b> Any
underlying sadness or fear that may be contributing to your difficulties
is addressed with your therapist. Self Psychology and/or Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy are the modalities used to assist you in moving
toward practical results. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Sometimes
you feel drawn toward a goal but also see the difficulties in achieving
it. The purpose of psychotherapy is not only to assist you in moving
toward the life you desire but also to enhance your self-esteem
as you do this. In other words, who you are is considered as well
as what you are going to do. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Your
psychotherapist should be helpful to you in a very real and concrete
way. You should notice an improvement in the way you think, feel,
meet life's challenges, and communicate with others. Who you are
- what you think, feel, and believe - then becomes connected to
how you live your life. Psychotherapy is a truly wonderful and unique
experience. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">This
is the way my clients and I view the psychotherapy process. I help
the client discern what is deeply important to them. I help clients
understand their strengths, meet their challenges and move toward
a future rather than just get over a past. </font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b>You
may contact me for a telephone screening conversation to see if psychotherapy
is appropriate for you. There is no charge for the screening. My office is in
Downtown Chicago.</b></font></p>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="4"><b><font color="#000080">How
the right Personal Life Coach can help you</font></b></font></p>
<p> <font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">What
do you really want in your life? How can you get it? <b>Life coaching
comes from an educational model. It is a relationship with a professional
trained to help you take specific and concrete action toward reaching
your goals.</b></font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Through
interplay with me as a life coach, you as a client would receive
support, feedback, and structure to learn what is important to you.
We would develop a practical strategy for creating possibilities
in your life. <b>You would work with me to discover and develop
practical solutions to your problems.</b> As part of this process,
we would discuss any confusion you may be experiencing in order
to help you clarify your values and your goals.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b>Together
we would develop and implement an action plan to enable you to create
concrete changes in your life and to assist you in creating the
life you choose.</b> We would determine the activities that may
help you achieve your goals and then schedule these activities.
It is during this part of the process that you receive feedback
from the life coach and work with any blocks you may have in doing
these activities. Activities would be altered and changed in line
with what is comfortable for you. Feedback is given all along the
way and may be adjusted and modified at any time.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"><b>Clients
are helped with the following life challenges:</b> life transitions
(<b>both personal and professional</b>), stress management, time
management and goal setting, self-esteem, shyness, communication
skills, and interpersonal relationships. When appropriate, telephone
coaching is done nationwide.</font></p>
<p><font color="#000080" size="2" face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">A
good coach will help you think in new ways, offer insight and feedback,
offer support and encourage you to take on new challenges so you
can move toward your vision for a more meaningful and fulfilled
life.</font></p>
