Dr Matthew Liberatore

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

“I am a Clinical Professional Counselor and, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a tool for self discovery, awareness, and growth.”

About Me

I believe our therapeutic relationship can become a powerful space for you. Together, we will explore your experiences, fostering self-discovery and deeper awareness. This collaborative approach helps you understand yourself better, paving the way for meaningful personal growth. Clients seeking to uncover new insights and navigate life's challenges find this supportive environment truly beneficial.

Approach

That connection becomes an active space where we notice patterns, try short experiments, and broaden your sense of what's possible. I offer in-person sessions in Chicago and secure online appointments in English, keeping pace to fit your life and comfort. Sessions blend gentle inquiry, mindfulness practice, cognitive reframing, and practical skill-building with doable reflections between meetings so insights translate into daily choices. People navigating anxiety, mood shifts, identity questions, or relationship change often find this steady, collaborative way of working helpful.
