Victoria B. Lachmann, Psychotherapy
About
I am utterly nonjudgemental, and supportive. I'm very interactive and will never leave it up to the client to initiate our conversation. It's just not true that anyone can go alone into a room and have a good "talking-to" with themselves...we all need someone to bounce things off of.
In addition to individuals (and couples) needing treatment for any and all mood disorders (like anxiety or depression), I also am certified as an Addictions Counselor, and a Sexuality Therapist.
Contact me for a session and check me out to see if you're comfortable talking with me. The therapist works for you, and you wouldn't keep a plumber who wasn't doing the job. Advocate for yourself by hiring a counselor who is a good fit.
Finally, I can only bill your insurance if you live in Illinois...and am happy to do so. I'm a preferred provider with almost every Illinois health insurance plan, except Medicare. If you think you'd like to see about hiring me and you do not live in Illinois, I'd be happy to talk about seeing if we could negotiate a fee.
I've been a counselor for over 40 years and believe I have the best job possible...at least for me! Being such a dinosaur, I've worked with every population known to man, and consider that a huge strength. Individuals, couples, every addiction including gambling, sex addictions and relapse prevention, trauma, eating disorders, every mood disorder and I'm very knowledgable about the psychopharmacology of psychotropic medications. I plan never to retire, and just consider it an honor that my clients allow me to be along for the ride while enhancing their lives.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first make sure that their questions are answered, and explain the laws regarding confidentiality. I tell them that I'll guide things in the beginning, and will always be offering my thoughts about what might help as we proceed. Establishing trust is the first most important thing to achieve.
