Hello, I’m Jack, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#140783), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (#17291) and a trained EMDR therapist. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago. I work with both minors and adults online and in person at the offices of Curt Widhalm & Associates.
As a therapist, it is my goal to work with clients on recognizing the helpful and non-helpful patterns in their lives and assist them with making sounder decisions based upon the healthy values they want to live towards. My experiences with both children and adults have allowed me to utilize an array of techniques that I specifically tailor to each individual to facilitate clients with living up to their full potential while meeting their personal needs. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach that typically consists of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and interpersonal techniques. By utilizing these methods, I strive to assist clients with improving their mental health, enhancing their self-image, developing healthier relationships, and promoting their strengths. I plan to build a strong therapeutic relationship through trust, creativity, and curiosity, and I am committed to helping clients work towards their individual treatment goals.
