Evan Henschel

Starting therapy means creating a new path for yourself. As a therapist, I give clients a safe environment for this seminal work – one that is supportive and without judgment or shame. I trust that you are the expert on yourself and your experiences; I can help you walk a path that leads to your healing and growth. Understanding that no single approach works for all clients, I combine elements of CBT, DBT, ACT and IFS to work in modalities that support you specifically. I incorporate your feedback and insights into my practice to ensure your voice is validated. I also bring art therapy and play therapy approaches to my practice, as well as my experience working with children and adolescents as a clinical intern in Chicago Public Schools and with emerging adults at the City Colleges of Chicago. I also support clients with mindfulness-based interventions as well as twelve-step recovery work. My own career path has woven through several years as a schoolteacher and a 25-year career as a corporate lawyer. I am a product of my own re-imagining of my life, and I bring that experience to support my clients. Facing life's challenges is itself life’s work. I have been privileged with a full and meaningful life, and I work to help clients build their own meaningful existence. Supporting you as you walk your path is the highest and best use of myself.
