Substance Abuse in Huntley, IL

Our counselors work directly with local substance abuse programs to provide support for patients who have already completed an inpatient or outpatient recovery program. Whether you are overcoming an addiction to prescription pills, illicit drugs, or alcohol, sobriety is a lifelong effort. 

Even after you have done a physical detox, you may feel emotionally dependent on these substances. Our counselors are here to teach you how to avoid and manage your triggers, handle post-acute withdrawal syndrome, and continue to reach your sobriety goals. 

Alternative Natural Treatments in Huntley, IL

Our goal is always to improve the health and wellness of our clients, not just treat a specific disorder. To meet this goal, we get to know each client and his or her treatment preferences. While we don’t discourage the use of medicated treatment, we know that alternative methods are often preferable.

If you’ve wondered whether your anxiety, depression, or ADHD can be treated without medication, we are here to tell you yes!

With our help, you can combat the effects of negative thinking, stress, processed foods, and/or the overuse of antibiotics. Through simple but powerful changes, you’ll find and treat the root causes of your body’s imbalances.

LGBTQ Support in Huntley, IL

Unfortunately, members of the LGBTQ community are more likely to experience mental health struggles like depression or anxiety. Often, the stigma surrounding mental illness and discrimination from healthcare providers can make seeking help even more difficult for these individuals.

Neal Psychological Specialties is a safe place for people of all expressions, gender identities, and sexualities to get the support they need.

Whether you are preparing to navigate a transition, are part of a same-sex couple raising children, want to support your child as they come out, or need support for any other LGBTQ-related journey, we are here for you. 

Family Counseling in Huntley, IL

Every family that walks through our doors is unique—it’s one of the most beautiful things about them! But with each individual detail comes unique experiences and challenges as well. If your family is struggling to break through these challenges, our counseling services can help.

We are here to help you reconnect with loved ones, recover from infidelity, navigate co-parenting, heal the wounds of pornography addiction, and more. Schedule a free 15-minute meet and greet to find a counselor who works well with your family.

Young Adult Counseling in Huntley, IL

It has always been hard to navigate one’s young adult years. But recent world events, social trends, and external pressures have made this phase of life even harder than ever before. 

If your loved one is between the ages of 18 and 25 and needs support, our counselors are well-equipped to help. Allow us to establish a healthy line of communication between you, the young adult, and their counselor. Specifically, we treat depression, anxiety, substance use, and academic issues for clients in this age group. 

Marriage/Couples Counseling in Huntley, IL

Ups and downs within a marriage are perfectly normal. But sometimes those rollercoaster experiences can leave us feeling unable to move forward. A marriage or couples counseling session is the perfect place to break through barriers and build a stronger and more fulfilling relationship. 

Even if your challenges are caused by pornography, infidelity, betrayal, or neglect, there is hope—so long as both parties are willing to make changes. Allow our counselors to work with you to put the pain in the past and look forward to a new future.

Trauma Recovery Therapy in Huntley, IL

Trauma is an injury, not an illness, and is a normal reaction to an extremely distressing event. Unfortunately, traumatic damage can change the way our brains function and make it difficult to regulate our behaviors and emotions. Whether you’ve suffered trauma as the result of a death, repeated emotional abuse, a divorce, severe illness, or some other experience, our counselors can help. 

If you are ready to take the next step toward recovering from trauma, schedule a meet and greet with our therapist. We will help you navigate the experience, remove yourself from damaging circumstances, and begin to heal. 

ADHD Counseling in Huntley, IL

Our counselors can diagnose and treat ADHD for clients of all ages. In fact, our ADHD coach is available onsite or via teletherapy to teach strategies for time management and organization and provide other ADHD counseling services. We believe that ADHD is nothing to be afraid of and that it is possible to overcome feelings of unhappiness, lack of freedom, and loneliness. 

Pornography Addiction Counseling in Huntley, IL

Pornography is highly addictive and has been proven to alter a person’s brain chemistry. So if you are struggling to manage a pornography addiction, please understand that it is not a reflection of your sense of morality, your character, or your worth. 

Unfortunately, pornography addiction can have many unfavorable side effects like depression, loneliness, shame, and a feeling of helplessness. Our counselors can help you overcome feelings of shame and isolation so that you can conquer your addiction and join a community of people who will support you on your journey. 

Counseling for Adolescents and Teens in Huntley, IL

We know how important it is for our teenage clients to feel understood and heard—not just treated. That’s why our counselors work to build strong relationships with clients in this age group. We know how important it is that each person feels safe and supported as they talk about their troubles. 

We are here to help your teen navigate complicated issues like anxiety, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, depression, bullying, and more. Our counselors are skilled at both medicated and alternative methods of treatment.

Counseling for Educational Issues in Huntley, IL

We work hand-in-hand with a local educational services coordinator who has experience in a range of educational services. Whether your child needs Dyslexia counseling, help with SAT prep, life skills coaching, or time management assistance, we can create a progress plan. Our counselors help students from both private and public school backgrounds; call today to learn more!

Counseling for Men in Huntley, IL

Being a man in the modern world is not always easy. There are a lot of competing ideas about what a man “should” be—which makes it difficult for some to feel comfortable in their own skin. At Neal Psychological Specialties, we understand the many challenges facing men in their professional, personal, and family relationships. 

Our goal is to help each of our male clients feel secure in his position in life. We help these clients make changes to their mindset and circumstances so that they can feel good about where they are and where they are going. Allow us to join you in your journey toward greater happiness and wellness. 

Counseling for Women in Huntley, IL

A healthy woman is one who is at peace with her body, mind, and spirit. Mental illnesses, personal circumstances, and other difficulties can cause disruptions that affect this hard-earned peace.

Anxiety Treatment in Huntley, IL

Anxiety is a condition that can affect any person, of any age, at any time. Sometimes, anxiety will fade on its own. Other times, you may need a little help to push through anxious thoughts and feelings.

Our counselors offer cognitive behavioral therapy for those suffering from anxiety and/or panic attacks. We will teach you how to interrupt, distract from, and divert anxious thoughts so that you can push forward to a healthier mindset. 

Christian Counseling in Huntley, IL

We want you to overcome your difficulties, feel joy once more, and reach a state of mental well-being. Please ask about our faith-based Christian counseling services when you call to schedule an appointment!

Treatment for Depression in Huntley, IL

Depression is a common term, but the condition itself is much more serious than many believe. If you have been experiencing sadness, low energy, and/or hopelessness for more than a few weeks, you may need counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, or another treatment plan to recover. Our counselors are here to help in any way you need.
