Mr. Monty Faidley, LPC, ALMFT, NCC

Life can feel like a high‑stakes balancing act: rewarding but relentless, enjoyable but exhausting. Self‑doubt and relationship issues can chip away at your confidence, motivation, and sense of worth.  In those moments, you may feel overwhelmed, isolated, or uncertain which step to take next.  Are you ready to lead a life of clarity and confidence?

I believe lasting change happens when we compassionately engage every part of ourselves -- even the ones we may dislike or fear.  My aim is to create a grounded, open space where you feel seen, heard, respected, and empowered to explore the forces shaping your life.  Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), relational psychodynamic theories, and Gottman‑informed methods, we will work to map your inner parts, heal past wounds, and strengthen your connection to yourself.  Together, we’ll build practical tools to manage emotions, build stronger self‑leadership, and deepen trust in yourself and your relationships.

After over a decade of experience as a senior business leader who successfully balanced career success with a deep commitment to family life and fatherhood, I now support men, high achievers, LGBTQ+ individuals, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me exploring the Chicago food scene, practicing martial arts in the dojo, or volunteering with local LGBTQ+ organizations.  If you’re ready to explore a path toward greater connection and well-being, I invite you to book a free consultation so we can see whether we’re the right fit for one another.
