About

Hello there! I'm Ben Shabad, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Life Coach. I have a diverse background spanning counseling, coaching, and psychology, and have cultivated a passion for guiding individuals towards transformation and growth.

My journey began at the University of Illinois, where I embraced the world of psychology during my undergraduate years. This laid the foundation for my future pursuits, igniting a fervor for understanding the human mind and the desire to make a meaningful impact. I then attended the Chicago School of Professional Psychology for graduate school, equipping myself with the tools and knowledge to navigate the intricacies of human emotions and behavior.

My approach is grounded in the belief that every person is unique and deserves individualized attention and care. Whether you're seeking support through life's challenges, aiming to unlock your true potential, or navigating pivotal transitions, I'm here to provide a nurturing space for exploration and progress.

What sets me apart is not only my credentials and professional experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Life Coach, but also my background as a seasoned school psychologist. This work has granted me a profound understanding of the distinctive challenges faced by students, families, and educators alike, enhancing my ability to connect and support holistically.

As an experienced high school wrestling coach, I've witnessed the transformative power of discipline, determination, and teamwork. Coaching has further enriched my ability to empower individuals, fostering resilience and personal growth.

I'm committed to joining you on your journey to self-improvement. Together, we'll uncover your strengths, confront obstacles, and chart a course towards the rewarding life you deserve.

Thank you for considering me as a partner in your pursuit of personal development. I look forward to the privilege of working with you.

You can also find me on Psychology Today and Therapy Den.

Warm regards,

Ben Shabad
