About Adele Duba-Nagel

I am an Illinois licensed clinical social worker with over 12 years of experience helping individuals coping with grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, family conflicts, improving motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and addictions. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am pleased you chose to place your trust in us.
I take a person-centered approach when working with my clients. This means that our work is collaborative and based on your goals for the specific areas you’d like to focus on. I collaborate with clients to explore their entire person: your physical and mental health, your core beliefs and history, your living and working environments, and what gives your life meaning and purpose. I endeavor to meet my clients where they are. I do not view my clients as “having problems” or worse, “being a problem”. Rather, we are just human beings having human experiences – and, because humans are social beings, we often need to turn to others for help.
Healing is a process of discovery and change. The support and guidance of a therapist can help bring out the best in you. Together we embark on a path of exploration and discovery. We identify your strengths, and confront and learn to cope with challenges. Your best self emerges, and you’ll discover that creating and maintaining meaningful relationships, and enhancing your enjoyment of life is not only possible, it is an adventure.

“After 2 or 3 sessions I feel that I'm making some progress. I truly appreciate Adele's support and encouragement -- especially since she allowed me to share some letters with her via messaging. I also very much appreciate her direct approach and kind manner.”

“Adele takes the time to truly understand my feelings & view points to better assist me in becoming a better version of myself. She is very empathetic & shows that she cares about the wellbeing of myself & my situations. I could not recommend anyone else as highly as I do Adele.”
