Top-Notch Counselor
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Tory Krone of Proactive Psychotherapy!! My daughter, C, has been working with Tory since 2015 for help with an eating disorder and mood disorder. C met with many counselors over the course of her treatment, but Tory was the only one who was able to truly connect with her. C completely trusts and respects her, even though Tory won’t hesitate to call her out on negative behaviors and/or attitudes and challenge her as necessary. Tory also recognizes when she needs to encourage C to confide in her loved ones for support, which as a mom, I truly appreciate. It’s worthwhile to note that Tory was the only one able to help C identify a traumatic experience from her past that was held in secrecy by C for many years and had undoubtedly contributed to C’s ongoing issues. She helped C turn to her family for support, which ended up being a healing experience for all of us. And her ongoing efforts to keep the lines of communication open between C and her family have been instrumental in our participation in C’s recovery. Although C is no longer in the Chicago area, she continues to work with Tory via Skype on a weekly basis, and occasionally (with C’s permission), Tory will conduct a family session. So, if you’re looking for someone who is caring with a unique ability to relate to young women, someone who will encourage communication and the use of positive support systems, someone who is compassionate, yet not a pushover, someone who is well-versed in DBT and ACT… then Tory is the one!
