How We Approach Our Practice at New Day Counseling

At New Day Counseling, we believe that change happens here, quietly at first, like the first light of dawn, and then steadily, as you step into healing with support and guidance.

Life can feel heavy when anxiety, loss, identity shifts, or relationship struggles take hold.

You might wonder: 

Where do I begin? How do I know which therapist is right for me? What if I’ve tried before and it didn’t help?

That’s where we come in. Whether you’re a teen navigating big feelings, a parent searching for understanding, or a family longing for connection, we’re here to walk alongside you, never ahead of you, never behind, always right there in the moment with you.

Our Promise:

New Day Counseling was founded with one goal: to make therapy feel safe, human, and transformative.

We understand that healing isn’t straightforward; it’s more like a winding trail with unexpected turns, quiet pauses, and moments of stunning clarity. That’s why we don’t push for quick fixes. Instead, we create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and heal at your own speed.

 Our Values:

Collaboration

You share your story, and we bring our tools, insights, and steady support. We're here to guide you through your unique journey.

Compassionate care

All parts of you are welcome here, even those that feel “too much” or “not enough.” No shame, no judgment.

Evidence-based therapy

Using approaches like CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed methods, we tailor treatments to you. This ensures you receive effective, proven support.

Inclusivity

Our practice welcomes everyone seeking a safe space to heal, including LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and marginalized communities.

Questions We Often Hear

1. “How do I know if therapy will help?”

   Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand yourself, find support, and build tools for navigating life’s challenges. Many clients begin to feel relief simply by having a safe, consistent space to share what’s on their minds.
   

2. “How do I choose the right therapist?”

   The right therapist feels like someone you can trust to walk alongside you. During your first session, we focus on listening—not diagnosing or rushing you—so you can see if it feels like a good fit.
   

3. “Should I come to Glen Ellyn or La Grange?”

   We offer both locations to make therapy accessible and convenient. Our team collaborates across offices, meaning you’ll receive the same compassionate, high-quality care wherever you choose.
   

4. “What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?”

   Healing takes time and the proper connection. We honor past experiences and work gently to rebuild trust in the therapeutic process.

Why Choose New Day Counseling

Choosing a therapist can feel like venturing into the unknown. At New Day, we strive to help you feel like you're coming home. We offer two locations, Glen Ellyn and La Grange for in-person sessions, as well as tele-health or virtual sessions so you can access the support you need with ease.

As a training practice, we offer a team approach, with therapists supported by ongoing supervision, training, and collaboration, so your care and support is lifted up by an entire team with varying areas of expertise and experience in the field.

Finally, we know choosing, attending, and committing to therapy is a choice and often not easy to make. That's why strive to lift that burden by offering a caring, human touch—no cookie-cutter advice, just genuine relationships and evidence-based care
