Liana Gerdov CHt, LCPC, PsyD

I am a holistic therapist and hypnotherapist that loves to help individuals manage anxiety, mood, resolve past trauma and get "unstuck."

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Palatine, IL

About My Clients

Do you avoid conflict? Have difficulty making decisions? Do you go out of your way to please others? Feel stuck or lost, derailed from your purpose in life? Are you filled with negativity or self-doubt? Are your emotions difficult to control? Change can be scary! I want to help you regain control of your life, become confident and redefine your purpose and life goals.

My Background and Approach

In a collaborative approach, I aim to guide you to the root of your issues, empower you to utilize your strengths and create a positive perspective to help rebuild your confidence and direction in life. I want to offer you hope again and unveil a new chapter in your life. I blend traditional therapy techniques (CBT, ACT, Solution focused, Gestalt) with holistic approaches (mindfulness, meditation, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, energy healing) to address the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. In order to make room for growth and change, I follow your pace and work with you to create a specific plan according to your goals and expectations. My goal is to create an open and welcoming environment for you to challenge negative belief systems, old patterns, create shifts in mindset and perspective , and to become more aligned, empowered, and confident.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

From a young age, I worked at an international adoption agency that taught me so much about the incredible information we can learn from different cultures and how our differences in fact make us more similar and connected! This job (which was SO much more!) opened up my worldview and allowed me to fall in love with counseling and healing. Another big turning point in my life was to get certified as a domestic violence service provider and to volunteer for a local domestic violence shelter. I immediately fell in love as I began to see how resilient people are, how past trauma affects the physical body and mental health, and how certain techniques and tools were tremendously helpful in shifts and changes within people. I am still very dedicated to working with trauma and survivors of childhood/adult abuse.
