Had a great internship experience in 2012/2013. I learned a lot and had great experience in a diverse area in the field including psychoeducational group therapy anger management groups intakes and individual therapy. Place was super busy. Felt supported as an intern and comfortable to find my approach towards groups and individual therapy.

I had a outdated DUI from over 20 years ago and after being out of the country for 12 years decided to address any and all issues with my license. Initially skeptical when I was first referred to Counseling Center of Illinois. I soon found their counselors to be passionate and purposeful. They were able to make a difficult process easier to acclimate to. I wholeheartedly recommend their services and consider myself fortunate to have made the right choice in counseling.

I had the great honor of interning at Counseling Centers of Illinois. I did my research before joining the center and laughed when I read that the center prides itself as a place that cares and help intern not only learn but also helps in finding jobs. I thought that was a lie and they only said that to entice people. I was proved wrong. I was well trained even though it was in the middle of a raging pandemic and not for once was in the dark about everything.The weekly supervision was on point and Anna takes her time to answer every and all question. Her goal is to make sure we are well trained and that showed itself every single time.Anna and the other staff members showed they really cared about me and not only ensured I had a great experience but they also showed they cared about me as a person and my professional development.I was linked with past interns and they all had nice things to say about Anna and the center and I am forever grateful for the experience. Anna is truly a great supervisor and her care and support go beyond the internship time.I will definitely recommend this center for anyone because they match their words with action.I truly had a great learning experience and I have Anna and all the other hardworking staff and colleagues to thank.

I interned here for both my Practicum and internship and would highly recommend this site to other emerging mental health professionals. You’ll gain a lot of different experience here conducting various evaluations, as well as individual and group counseling services and case management. Anna and Shana are both really helpful and knowledgeable but will also provide you with enough autonomy to help you grow, develop, and hone in on your skills as you become your own clinician.

As a Master intern during the year of 2018- 2019 CCI was such a wonderful experience and opportunity to learn, and develop, multiple skills in the Substance Abuse community. The professionalism and ethical setting at Counseling Center of Illinois has taught me so much that I would recommend this place to anyone. My experience here has been profoundly rewarding. I'm so grateful for the opportunity and all that I had gained in my training as well as the networking that has be developed with other interns and staff.Keisha Garrett MA Clinical Mental Health Counseling

My internship with Anna at the Counseling Center of Illinois was amazing. I was able to get very broad experience in all the core functions of addiction counseling. We were given a lot of responsibility and opportunities to experience and practice individual and group counseling, assessments, case management and essential administrative work. Her staff was very knowledgeable and supportive of interns. Anna provided weekly supervision, which involved important opportunities to debrief and analyze our experiences.

The Counseling Center of Illinois is a fantastic place to earn your hours for your internship. I began interning at The Counseling Center of Illinois late summer 2019 and it was one of the best experiences you can ask for. The staff is a pleasure to work with and you gain wonderful and much needed experience to enter the work field. The internship provided guidance and experience that prepared me to be confidant and knowledgeable. Hours for my internship were readily available and I was able to accrue them without any hesitation. The Counseling Center of Illinois is an AMAZING place to join!!!!

I am having marital issues, it's in the courts at this stage, really wish I knew then what I had learned these past 5 weeks... I took 2 classes at the same time and spent 2 hours every thursday with Andrew going over anger management and parenting, the classes should be a requirement for anyone that is married, the 500 dollars I spent on both will be insignificant if I have an opportunity to exercise what I have learned with my wife. The one on one option is something I was not able to find elsewhere and I called about 10 places given by google results... Andrew was exhausting himself making sure the course was as applicable as possible to my situation. The document are available on the internet but organized and presented in a fashion that permits constructive self improvement. I wish someone advised me to have taken these courses before. Looking at the other reviews I may need to disclose I went to the Milwaukee Avenue location just north of Irving Park but cannot believe the other locations are worse as I have met management and they are sincere and honestly wish to only improve the lives of people. Who ever wrote the negative reviews probably didn't take the anger management courses but should.The parenting class, unbelievable how many things I could have done better. It's our children, they deserve the best and 5 hours of my life is nothing compared to the positives these courses will have on their and my wife's life.

The therapy sessions were interactive and interesting. The 2 and 1/2 hours sessions flew by. My counselor Matthew was great. Easy to talk to. My first DUI. I felt the $850.00 was very affordable compared to others. I would recommend this place to others who’ve made the mistake of drinking and driving. I’m grateful no one was hurt and killed with my dui. I’ve learned plenty from this experience. I thank the people of this center. And getting pulled over and arrested. Lesson learned. Again highly recommended.

I worked with Anna J to do my updated evaluation and she prepared me so well that I went into my informal hearing ready! I was so ready I completed my hearing with ease and found out 2 months later that I got my license fully reinstated! Not an RDP, but my full license! I'm forever grateful to Anna and the Counseling Center of Illinois.

"Great counselors and administrative staff." I really felt comfortable and welcomed. They helped me to address a lot of underlined issues I had. If you have any questions or don't understand something just ask and they will be glad to sit with you and explain. Overall, this is the best treatment center I've attended.
