Depression Counseling in Barrington, IL

Depression is a mental health illness that affects millions of Americans each year. In our counseling center, we help people from all walks of life as they struggle to navigate the symptoms of depression. 

We always start with talk therapy, to see if we can identify and work through a “root cause” or situation that has caused a client’s depression. From there, we move on to other natural treatments, including the use of Neurofeedback therapy, detoxing, exercise, and more. 

Our goal is always to help our clients reach a greater level of wellness and being. If you’re ready to get a handle on your depression, schedule a meet and greet with one of our counselors today.

Anxiety Counseling in Barrington, IL

The effects of anxiety can range from inconvenient to paralyzing. No matter where you fall on the spectrum, counseling is a great solution. 

At Neal Psychological Specialties, we treat anxiety through a variety of natural means. One of the most effective treatments we offer is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. This treatment plan focuses on interrupting and redirecting feelings of anxiety. That way, you can distract yourself for long enough to refocus on the reality in front of you.

Alternative Natural Treatments in Barrington, IL

Many counseling centers will prescribe medication first and ask questions later. At Neal Psychological Specialties, we know that medications are often necessary and helpful, but we like to explore alternative natural treatments as well. In our center, we believe that ADHD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues can be treated through natural processes.

We are here to help you reduce your stress levels, avoid processed or toxic foods, and cut back on antibiotics or other medications that affect your body’s inner workings. These natural treatments are based on science and designed to boost your overall health.

Counseling for ADHD in Barrington, IL

You can’t treat ADHD without a proper and accurate diagnosis. In our clinic, we offer an FDA-cleared and computerized test to diagnose ADHD for clients between the ages of four and eighty. This test allows us to establish a baseline of the person’s performance so that we can accurately prescribe treatment.

If you are ready to finally determine whether ADHD plays a role in your mental health, please call our center. We have helped countless clients in the Barrington area get a diagnosis and manage the negative side effects of ADHD.

Substance Abuse in Barrington, IL

After you have completed either an inpatient or outpatient addiction recovery program, you will need continuing support to maintain your sobriety. Our counselors are specially equipped to help you navigate the unique challenges you face at this time.

Managing the ongoing urge to use again is the key to finding long-term success. Allow NPS to help you get there.

Pornography Counseling in Barrington, IL

Our counselors understand that overcoming a pornography addiction comes down to more than just willpower. As with any addiction, pornography use can alter a person’s brain chemistry and change the way they think or behave. If you are ready to manage your pornography use, our counselors will address the underlying neuro wiring that has ensnared you.

Trauma Recovery in Barrington, IL

According to the American Psychological Association, trauma is described as the emotional response a person has to an “extremely negative experience”. This might include an abusive relationship, a severe illness, the death of a loved one, a divorce, or something from your childhood. No matter the cause of your trauma, the result is often the same: crippling anxiety, depression, and more.

Our counselors are here to support you in your recovery from trauma. We recognize that the results of trauma are more similar to a brain injury than an illness and we have the tools to help you find relief.

We Look Forward to Hearing from You

If you’re ready to learn more about how counseling can help you through your own unique challenges, call us today. We can help you schedule a free meet and greet so that you can get to know a counselor before you get started.
