Datrese Bradley, LCPC — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Datrese!

We will discuss your goals and identify barriers as we explore alternate methods of handling stressors. I focus on thinking and behavior patterns that affect your functioning. I will provide support and rebuild boundaries and decision-making while exploring past trauma.

My focus

I work with clients from various backgrounds. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationships. I am comfortable treating any of the above-listed symptoms, as well as obsessive-compulsive and personality disorders.

My approach

I use a Person-Centered approach to counseling. I utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Focused modalities to assist you in meeting your therapeutic goals.

My communication style

I am an adaptable therapist. I can be very calm and relaxed while also being a guide if you struggle with effective communication. Working with me feels like speaking to someone who cares about your growth and overall functioning. You will feel heard and respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I understood the importance of being heard. I knew that no person should feel ignored or less than because of their past. I genuinely care about the growth of others, and I understand and accept individual differences, choices, and responses to trauma.

My goals for you

We will discuss where you are currently and where you would like to be. We will identify barriers to your functioning and review areas of success and failure. We will identify realistic goals that allow you to observe progress along the journey.

Our first session

During your first session, you should expect to be heard. I will listen to your story as I complete the intake information. You will not feel bombarded with questions. I will allow you to discuss what led you to therapy. Your first session will set the tone for determining your course of treatment.
