A counseling center for individuals, couples and families

 

We offer skillful, compassionate guidance & support through life's most difficult challenges

All About Women was founded in 1978 as a  counseling center with a mission to serve the mental health needs of  women in the greater Chicago community. It has evolved into a full-service center where women and their families are the focus of treatment.

All About Women partnered with The Men's Center over 20 years ago resulting in a greater range of treatment services. With a child and adolescent therapist as well as well as  several addiction specialists on staff, All About Women is able to provide a well-rounded  array of counseling services.  Anne E.  Kator, MSW, LCSW, with more  than 30 years of counseling experience is All About Women's  Director.  All About Women is a place  for women to feel respected and validated. Join in the search for understanding,  direction, and comfort. Anne believes that the road to mental health is a journey to be shared and celebrated, not  toughed out in an isolated painful manner.

ANNE E. KATOR, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, is a clinician and consultant with over 30 years of counseling experience. She is a marriage and family therapist as well as a certified sex therapist. Anne has a speciality in the  diagnosis and treatment of affective disorders and in the treatment of sexually compulsive clients, both men and  women. Anne earned a MSW degree from University of Illinois-Chicago. She has taught at several local colleges and  has worked extensively at Loyola University's Sexual Dysfunctional Clinic. Anne is co-founder of REJOIN, a support  group for men with sexual dysfunctions and their spouses.
 

The Men's Center, Inc. was created to provide a broader  range of options for men and women struggling with their  own personal issues.  With more than 25 years of experience in counseling and  psychotherapy as well as an expertise in men's issues, Barry Feldman, MA, LCSW, Director and founder of The Men's Center, helps people of all ages recognize how their problems affect the quality of their lives.

Barry is skilled at working with men's and women's issues,  marital problems, adolescent self-esteem, depression, and addictions, most notably gambling. His clients appreciate his ease at making them feel comfortable and his belief in getting to know the whole person. He uses his emotional availability, theoretical knowledge, and life experience to help people solve problems, explore change, and create insight. By exploring all facets of a person's experience, he allows clients to apply new meanings to their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Clients can then be helped to choose alternatives which bring hope and improvement within themselves and their relationships.

BARRY R. FELDMAN, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, received his MA from the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago in 1979. He spent several years at Jewish Family and Community Service and the St. Joseph's Hospital Department of Psychiatry before opening his private practice in 1983.
