Maria Conforti , LCSW

—About

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practising in Illinois, with 16 years of clinical experience.

I am a DCFS contracted provider.

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, and Gottman Method.

I pride myself in offering a judgement free zone, keeping in mind that I'm not going necessarily sugar coat what needs to be worked through, and I use compassion and a tender approach knowing we are ALL just doing our best and at the same time, need to do better (based on the assumption that's what we are here for).

I like to think I can help guide my clients to a point of self satisfaction.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, coaching, and ADHD.

I have worked with a variety of children and family issues, pediatric adhd, couples, a variety of sexually oriented couples, divorce mediation, at risk young men, and affluent young women experiencing self esteem issues.
