I love Chuck (in the most professional way possible)! After my divorce and move to Chicago from Colorado I was really feeling overwhelmed with life, my kids, my new job: essentially everything in life was new. I was stressed out beyond belief and was referred to Chuck by my insurance company. The guy is a great counselor and a wonderful person. I was mostly expecting a lot of psychobabble from him, or some sort of silly "answering a question with a question" type of situation. I also half expected him to have a panacea-type resolution to all my issues. Instead what I found was an incredibly attentive listener who literally listened to me complain about my life for about 3 sessions. I'm LOL'ing as I re-read that. The guy doesn't interrupt, he listens and comprehends. When the "therapy" starts he makes you think back on what you said. The whole process is about working within your constraints, not what he was taught or thinks you should do. This approach was remarkable for me. I am long past the point of being stressed out about the changes that happened in my life, yet I still go to talk to Chuck about once a month. I genuinely like him. Overall (it's a tough review to write) I can't say enough good about Chuck Lederman. I feel like my life improved as a result of him cajoling me into being easier on myself by being tough on myself. I'm sure anyone with challenging life problems would find Chuck to be a wonderful advocate. read more
