About Murray
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Illinois and have been a social worker for over 15 years. I provide personal counseling/therapy based upon the principles of humanistic therapy and positive psychology, which focus upon your strengths and what is right with you rather than what is "wrong" with you. In working with clients my approach is to be overwhelmingly positive, supportive and encouraging. I focus almost exclusively upon working with people who experienced childhood trauma due to ongoing abuse and neglect. I was a victim of substantial emotional abuse and neglect throughout my own childhood and have spent many years dealing with the negative consequences of those experiences, so I have tremendous empathy and understanding of the difficulties that others who have gone through this might have faced over the years. I can easily relate to people’s struggles to learn who they really are and identify their core self which had to be hidden in order to survive childhood. I will help you identify your needs, wants and desires, which have been buried for so many years. The ultimate goal is to heal the emotional wounds you carry within you so you can begin to lead the kind of life that you want that meets those needs and desires and is no longer ruled by the internalized fear of your abuser.
