Do you ever feel sad and alone, despite the fact that you live in a large city with thousands of other people? Do you feel disconnected from your friends and loved ones?  Have you recently felt sad or overwhelmed?  Had thoughts about running away or quitting?  Are you wondering where the happiness in life went?  

City Breeze Counseling was started by Christina Zerwer, LCPC to help the busy professionals in Chicago address these and many other areas of dissatisfaction in their lives.  Living and working in a bustling metropolis like Chicago can be energizing, fun, and for some, lucrative.  However, it can also be crowded, loud, cut-throat, and bitter cold.  It can wear us down in a hurry, leading us to indulge in and create unhealthy coping habits, which only makes us feel even worse.  

Counseling CAN help.  By talking to a trained professional in a neutral, safe environment, you can explore the disturbances in your life, gain insight into your role in the dysfunction, and identify changes in thoughts and behavior you can do to alter your situation.  Counseling is not a passive undertaking. It's an active, collaborative process.  While we will sit and talk for an hour, you will leave each session with clear suggestions, assignments, and new skills to try in the pursuit of your own happiness.  

 City Breeze offers conveniently located, confidential space for you to talk with a caring professional.  We are located close to the CTA raised brown, green, orange and express purple lines, as well as direct access via the Pedway from the Blue and Red lines.  Discounted parking rates are available to clients who prefer to drive.  Additionally, we offer lunchtime, after work, and weekend hours to fit your busy schedule.  When you come to City Breeze Counseling, you can feel secure that you are working with an experienced, trusted counselor who has both your mental health, and daily life needs in mind
