One of my worries of going to see a new therapist is whether or not I will be able to connect with them. From my very first visit, FVI was able to help me understand and see things that were getting in my way, including myself at times. From the calming and private atmosphere the waiting room provides to the office staff, Fox Valley Institute really helps to make me feel comfortable.

I cannot express in words how much these sessions have changed my life. My outlook on life is brighter; my self confidence and self-esteem are stronger; and best of all, I know that whatever life throws my way I can handle it. Thank you FVI!

FVI has encouraged and guided me, sat through tons of tears, and has also made me laugh really hard! In their way, they have helped me to see that life is sometimes difficult, but that I can handle it – and that what happens to me on good and bad days, does not define who I am. We all have a journey in this world. I’m learning to live it, with an empowering truth and strength, one day at a time.

With FVI's guidance and the practical tools they gave me, I was able to make it through one of the hardest times in my life. I also learned valuable lessons about myself and about healthy relationships. I continue to use these lessons and tools on a regular basis, both in my own personal and my professional life. I am so grateful for FVI and the role they played throughout this process. I would recommend anyone to them, and in fact I do send people to them on a regular basis.
- K. G.
I was really afraid of taking this step. I am 43 years old and have been a part of the firefighter culture of shouldering your burdens my whole life. I realize now that true strength is not in shouldering my burden, but in letting go and asking for help. I was able to open up to FVI simply because I saw that they truly cared. They have always been available to me in the times when my life was the hardest. I trust them completely.

Each time I left the office, I felt stronger and able to tackle my issues head on. More importantly, when I left our sessions, I thought about everything that was discussed and the great tools that he gave me to use, and was able to apply them to my situation. He more than once gave me material to read/study/links and we would talk about it during our next session to re-enforce the objectives, which was so helpful.
