Professional statement

Dr. Addis is a seasoned professional with 30 years of experience in various settings. She received her PhD in Counseling Psychology at the University of Illinois in 1994. She has worked in a men's prison, Hospice, community college, nursing homes, and doing veterans' disability exams for the VA.

She currently only provides remote counseling. She is a licensed psychologist, providing counseling for people who are dealing with grief, divorce, depression and anxiety issues, among others. She is also a certified Christian Life Coach. It entails leading someone to move forward in life, no matter their circumstance, while incorporating Christian values, scriptures.

The combination of her professional experiences, coupled with her life experiences, make her someone who has compassion for those people whom she serves. She has been a widow for 11 years, married to an Air Force veteran of 20 years. She has two adult daughters and four grandchildren. Her faith is at the cornerstone of her life, without which she would have had a difficult time dealing with what life has sent her way.

Message to clients

I became a psychologist in order to help those in need. My aim in providing counseling is to assist those who struggle with past hurts, or present difficulties, to improve their quality of life. But there is only so much that I can do. The responsibility for getting better lies with each client. Without their commitment to make the necessary changes in their lives, nothing will change, nothing will get better.

In my role as a Christian Life Coach, it is my honor to lead people to an understanding of just how important it is to follow Jesus Christ, to believe in Him as teh Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit can enable you to have the strength and the courage to live a good life. Treating others as you would like to be treated is very important. Even more importantly is to live a life that is pleasing to God.

(Please note that insurance does not pay for life coaching).
