Alayni Frizzell, Evanston Counselor

Providing therapy for Evanston adults and adolescents

Alayni Frizzell

“I believe that therapy is a journey in which the client and therapist are both guide and companion, with the client choosing their path and the therapist providing support and knowledge to better achieve the clients’ goals and needs. I encourage a creative approach to self-awareness, self-expression, strength- and skill-building, as I believe therapy is never a ‘one-size fits all’ experience. I want us to work together to find the strategies and skills that work best for you, and I endorse an openness to experimentation and creative thinking. Life can have its challenges, and my goal in therapy is for us to find solutions for those challenges together.

“Clients can expect a blend of open-mindedness, flexibility, patience, and a decidedly creative twist in a session with me. As an art therapist and as a counselor, I encourage my clients to approach their journey from multiple angles, whether those are emotional, logical, visual, or even sensory, as you guide your experience alongside me. In the course of therapy I prioritize making sure you feel safe, understood, and able to discover and express your truest self and needs through words, actions, and art (for interested clients). Every therapy journey is unique, and the end results even more so. I take joy and pride in providing clients with new techniques of expression and personal exploration, and am a fan of encouraging clients to use what they have learned inside and outside of sessions to better tackle what challenges may come.”

It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Th It’s National Eating Disorder Awareness Week! Thank you @equiphealth and @projectheal for this helpful graphic describing how eating disorders can be so difficult to treat and why many don’t get help until symptoms have progressed. At Mindful Psychology Associates, we have several eating disorder specialists who are experienced in treating the whole spectrum of eating disorders and disordered eating, and we work collaboratively with physicians, dieticians, and psychiatrists who are also trained to work within a collaborative treatment team. Help is available!
