The Chicago Center For Holistic Counseling

I started therapy with Andrea about 5 months ago, and have noticed a significant change in the way I approach my personal and professional life. She is a strong guide and mentor, and always shows great care and concern for her clients. more

I very rarely write reviews but want to pay forward the huge favor my friends gave me years ago in recommending Andrea Schrage. Two different friends recommended Andrea and, though I felt very reluctant to try therapy again at the time, I am eternally grateful that I did. I had had very limited experience with going to therapy prior to that, and had found the two therapists I tried were not very insightful or helpful. Seeing Andrea was a completely different experience. Her warmth, honesty and insight came through right away. She did an amazing job, guiding me and giving me exactly what I needed week to week. When I think about the life I could be living -- still trudging through each day carrying old burdens and hurts -- I am filled with gratitude that I made the decision to seek therapy. More than that, I am grateful to have found a therapist as skilled and compassionate as Andrea. It made all the difference in the world. more

When looking for a therapist, you want someone who is easy to talk with, compassionate and has a depth of experience. I find this in Andrea and know that you will too! more

My experiences with Andrea have always left me with a sense of self strength and clarity. Her integrity is constant as is her compassion and insightfulness. I recommend her highly for in-depth counseling that brings real change. more

It was Andrea's warmth, honesty, compassion and strength that spoke to me loud and clear when I first spoke to her on the phone. When I started to work with her, she accepted me just the way I was. As time went on, I began to really want healing. Andrea helped me understand patterns in my life, explore what I had stuffed away, and accept myself more fully. She was always right there with me, showing me how I could find out what I was feeling in my body. She never hesitated to be real with me, try new approaches, or share from her life when it would help me see what was going on. more

I have seen how working with Andrea can produce dramatic changes for the better in your life. Two of my friends recommended her as an outstanding counselor, and I can vouch that she is compassionate and insightful. more
