What differentiates me from other coaches and therapists is that I focus on helping people find out who they are when they are happy instead of who they are when they are unhappy. I help you make changes first on the inside and then as you are feeling better you make changes on the outside.
I have found that when changes are made on the inside first and then outside second:
- People feel better more quickly
- Things go better sooner
- There is a sense of ease about things instead of things being heavy or difficult.
- People feel lighter
- People feel more satisfied more often with how they handle situations
If you are interested in finding out who you are as you get happier contact me directly via phone or TEXT at 815-935-5053 or email at drjdodds7@gmail.com.

About me:
In my life I had to overcome extreme shyness and nervousness. I also carried around in my mind many unnecessary thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Things like: how I thought things should be, how I thought the world should be, how I felt others should be, or how I thought I was supposed to be. These thoughts and feelings were constant distractions—-making it difficult to sustain forward momentum. This all caused me to feel like something was missing in my life which only deepened my introspection and struggle. Unknowingly I was spending much of my life in a constant state of unhappiness.
Now my primary interest is simply living as happy and relaxed and clear as I possibly can. I'm a work in progress but I now know the right target! Come join me in this endeavor!!!
For those who are interested:
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have a PhD in counseling. I am licensed mental health provider in the State of Illinois and in the State of Florida.
In my personal life---I am a private pilot. I like studying jazz music. I enjoy time spent on a beach and in or near the water, and traveling.
