My Expert Service

As a Clinical Psychologist for 25+ years, Dr. Kate has seen every kind of mental and emotional problem. Dr. Kate believes in short-term, results-oriented treatment.
While phone chats with a psychologist are usually more educational than therapeutic, or nowhere near as in-depth as real therapy or counseling, there may be times when a short chat with an expert can help you get through the night. Maybe you or your therapist is not in town, your appointment is several days off and your therapist doesn't do phone work. Maybe you haven't had time to get that appointment yet and tonight, this issue is really bugging you.
Maybe you don't know if you problem is big enough to go to counseling and would like an opinion. Maybe you just have a question about psychology or psychotherapy that you have always wanted to get answered, but it's not something you need in-depth therapy for. Maybe you'd like a second opinion on something that's bothering you. Maybe you are puzzled by a mental health condition that a family members has.
Maybe you're just anxious and can't sleep. Maybe you're depressed or upset over a recent breakup or divorce and you'd like a professional to talk to rather than going to a chat group online. Maybe your friends are out-of-town or asleep, or you have already told them the whole story several times, and you don’t want to bother them with any more repeats. Or maybe you're a single mom, the babies are asleep, and there isn't anybody to talk to.
Maybe you just need some professional help to learn how to stop the worry thoughts. Or the stressed out thoughts. Or the depressed thoughts. Or your insomnia is keeping you up. Or you're snapping at your husband and want to stop. Maybe you don't have enough money for real therapy, but you could use some stop-gap techniques until then. Maybe you had health insurance, but lost your job or had to cancel it. Think about this like when you go to the Immediate Care Center: It's not an emergency, but it's not convenient for regular therapy.
Or maybe your problem is such that you would be embarrassed to tell it to someone in person. Or you're tied to your house by illness or some other kind of handicap or life stress. Or you're way out in the boonies and telehealth is all that is available. Check out Dr. Kate and see if she is IN. If she is, she would be happy to help you.

PRAISE FOR DR. KATE WACHS...
AS A THERAPIST:
"Dr. Kate, I am so grateful to you. If it were not for you, I would never have gotten to this point! Thank you!!!"

"Dr. Kate, I want to express my appreciation for your kindness and generosity toward me. Thank you for supporting me and encouraging me. I am so grateful!"
AS A COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST:
"Legislative leaders… remain at odds on nearly every major issue… Billions worth of construction, gambling expansion, mass transit spending, education funding and property tax relief for Cook County all hang in limbo. Holding aloft Dr. Kate Wachs' book 'Relationships for Dummies,' House Republican leader Tom Cross said she should be summoned to help break the logjam." — John Patterson, Daily Herald
"She has a very good chapter on good communication. And one of the things she talks about is finding compromises that work for you and your partners…, I thought maybe she could come to a leaders' meeting so she could help us pass some laws!" —House Republican leader Tom Cross
AS A RELATIONSHIP EXPERT:
“She’s interviewed with Oprah and Phil Donahue, Time, The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, Redbook and Cosmopolitan. Clearly Dr. Kate engages in no false advertising — she’s a nationally acclaimed relationship expert.”
—Chicago Tribune
“Follow the advice of the top romance specialist, and you can’t go wrong.”
— Woman’s World
“Dr. Kate makes sense of love without diminishing the magic. With Dr. Kate on our side, there’s a lot more love in the world!
—Paige Smoron, Columnist, Chicago Sun-Times
