Mental Health Counselor Chicago | Chicago Rehab Center (CRC)

What is Counseling in Mental Health?

Mental health involves your psychological, social, and emotional health and is an important aspect of being human. Our mental health affects our thoughts, how we feel, how we choose to act, how we handle stress, and how we view ourselves in the world.

Mental health counseling at CRC can help you to identify the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral elements of your substance abuse. It can also help you to learn ways to live a healthy lifestyle, identify triggers that negatively impact your mental health, and learn new ways of managing stress and your overall mental health.

At CRC in Chicago, our mental health counseling consists of trained counselors who ask questions to help you address your problems. Our team also helps you to create new coping strategies, as well as gain self-awareness.

At CRC Treatment Center, we understand the importance of being properly diagnosed. Our team takes a fully comprehensive and integrated approach to provide you and your family with the most accurate picture of your diagnosis.

Modern Recovery Therapies for Substance Abuse

Mindfulness

This practice teaches individuals to be completely present and fully aware of their emotions and of what they are doing.

Holistic Treatment

Holistic treatment techniques help patients take responsibility for their own well-being and achieve optimal health through education on lifestyle changes and self-care that promotes overall wellness. This can include exercise, diet, psychotherapy, and many other alternative therapies offered through our treatment program.

NAD+

NAD+ is a therapy helping individuals stay on the path to recovery. Also known as Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, it’s a naturally occurring enzyme that promotes the production of energy within our body’s cells. With NAD+ therapy, individuals can improve brain function.

Acupuncture

As a treatment that has been used for centuries across Asia, acupuncture is known to be an effective treatment for anxiety that can soothe the nervous system.

Group Therapy

Vitamin IV Therapy

By providing the body with the proper nutrients it needs, our vitamin treatments restore balance within, helping individuals reach their desired place of health and wellness.

The CRC Institute clinical model of treating the whole family is the foundation of our patients’ success.
