Rational Recovery,
Radical Acceptance
Licensed Therapist in Illinois specializing in addiction, anxiety, depression, relationships, and men’s issues.
10
Years of Experience
Accepting New Clients in Oak Park, Illinois
I work with men who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
Drawing from my own experience with addiction, I help men overcome struggles with alcohol, drugs, pornography, and gambling.
As a S.M.A.R.T. Recovery Certified Facilitator, I believe in evidence-based recovery that is self-empowering — not based on shame or guilt, but on growth, clarity, and self-determination.
Whether you’re a young man searching for direction or a father juggling multiple roles in your family, therapy can help you reconnect with your values, build resilience, and live with more purpose.

My Approach
A Respectful, Strength-Based Approach to Change
I consider my approach to therapy to be client-centered, meaning we focus on your goals, your pace, and your strengths.
My work is rooted in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) — an evidence-based approach that helps identify and challenge the irrational beliefs that lead to unhealthy emotions and patterns.
At the heart of my practice is genuine respect and empathy. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can experience deep, meaningful, and lasting change.

“As a man, I always found it hard to open up in therapy. Daniel’s approach was different — real, grounded, and without judgment. I’ve grown more in the past few months than in the last few years.”
