Dr. Neil Harwicke

1. I am a clinical psychologist having worked in hospitals, private practices, teaching in universities including the University of Chicago School of Medicine. I also consulted with rehabilitation centers and nursing homes here in Illinois. My work included a wide range of ages but I specialize with seniors and how their lives changed over the years. Yes, you guessed it. I am a senior too so I know what it is all about.

As an eclectic therapist I have a large bag to work with that focuses on health, emotions and psychological balance. All are research proven to be effective. I offer home visits for people who are too ill to travel (depending on distance from my office) and telehealth psychotherapy.

My goal is to empower clients with coping skills to help live a fruitful life and become who they really desire to be. The first session is important. Support and trust are two things that allow a good relationship to form between client and therapist. I am a friendly, supportive therapist. This helps accomplish the client’s growth that many people may not be achievable by themselves. My past as a teacher taught me to be able to explain complex situations easily. As the first session ends I often hear, “Your are so easy to talk to. Thank you,” This makes my day.
