St. Charles, Illinois therapist: Paul Sather, psychologist
Psychodynamic

Paul Sather

Psychologist, PhD
I work with people to help them be the best version of their Self. Whether we are working on anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, spiritual issues, grief or trauma, etc, We usually begin with the initial phase of getting through the issue that got them through the door of my office. After that we work on the underlying issues that contributed to the struggles they are having. I focus on developing the skills of emotional management so that a person's emotions are coloring their life rather than running their life. We look at habitual patterns of interpreting their circumstances and familiar bodily states that are keeping them stuck. We concentrate on getting control of the things they can control and letting go of those they cannot control. We also address the habits of their internal critic and the ways they respond to those judgements with the goal of developing a peaceful life that is resilient to the difficulties that may come in the future.

Whether you come for individual, or for couples therapy, my clients are often surprised what can be overcome and how much better things can be.

Chicago, Illinois therapist: Matthew Brown, DO, MBA, psychiatrist
Psychodynamic

Matthew Brown, DO, MBA

Psychiatrist
Dr. Brown is a double board certified psychiatrist and treats children, adolescents and adults. Dr. Brown is an expert in the treatment of OCD. He will also work with clients regarding issues with PTSD, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD. Dr. Brown focuses largely on using supplements and other natural treatments such as a behavioral change to find a path forward. However, he does prescribe medications as well when needed. The goal of treatment is the less medication overall the better as long as the person is doing ok. In addition to supplements and medication management, unlike most psychiatrists, Dr. Brown also offers psychotherapy services for those who are interested. His open-ended approach aims to help clients find a deeper connection with themselves and for OCD folks is meant to be a compliment to their exposure treatment.
