Dr. Lisa Kohut

I’m an independently licensed Christian Counselor in Illinois with 25 years of experience. I use a compassionate, sensitive, direct, faith based and solution focused approach that’s very effective and personalized to your needs. If you’re looking to get to the root of your issues, you want to improve the quality of your life, reduce stress and anxiety, change your thinking to have more joy and more peace or connect with your purpose or connect with God, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s individual therapy, marriage counseling, trauma based therapy, addiction counseling, or parental guidance for the challenging teenage years, I’ll gently, but directly guide you in the right direction to discovering lasting solutions. I’m also EMDR certified and I have worked with many individuals to help resolve trauma, development and explore identity and overcome self hatred. I’ve also worked in therapeutic schools with emotionally and behaviorally challenged adolescents and their families. Whether you’re looking for a Christian counselor/psychologist or a counselor who personalizes your needs, I work very effectively with anyone who’s ready to partner with healing and transformation to make a better life for yourself. I believe in treating everyone with respect and I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I’m looking forward to partnering with you on this journey.
