Welcome and Hello, I am Dr. Phyl (Phyllis Watson, MS, PsyD). I am a psychotherapist, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Counselor in Illinois and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, Arizona, and Ohio. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with teens, adults, and seniors. I have been a subject matter expert featured on National Public Radio (NPR) and local cable news. I offer psychotherapy and professional supervision services.
Working with diverse populations, my areas of research and clinical specialties are in health, wellness, and medical concerns. I also help guide and support people through life stressors and transitions. I help clients with post-partum depression, grief and loss, women’s issues, multiethnic identity development, and generalized life challenges. I work with persons in recovery from Addictions and Substance Use Disorders. Other areas of interest are in working with student-athlete adjustment, life in balance, and mid-life challenges.
From a strength based approach, my clinical work has allowed me to serve clients in a variety of settings where I embrace solution focused interventions with a humanistic and narrative approach to helping clients learn new skills and coping strategies. Informing my therapeutic approach, I allow clients to tell their story from their lived experience while creating action plans and goals for successfully moving forward. The therapeutic focus is on utilizing personal strengths, understanding perceptions, addressing obstacles, and setting goals for improving life experiences.
My goal is to help clients find their purpose and live with meaning. My clinical practice motto is Love YOUR Journey ~ Live YOUR Life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

This was the first therapist I met who actually asked me about my life to seem to try and get a better understanding of the issues aren't dealing with now and I felt like it created a very valuable first time connection
There are no words to explain how much I appreciate Dr Phyl. She has helped me heal from some major traumas and continues to support my journey. I'm so grateful for her wisdom and encouragement.
Dr. Phyl has been nothing short of amazing. Her approach allowed me to uncover areas of my life that I had never realized impacted me so much. She is willing to just listen if needed but able to provide keen insight into key triggering events and provides you a roadmap to self-discovery. She is an amazing therapist, you won't be disappointed.
Dr. Phil is wonderful! I feel heard and understood. Definitely has helped me through my struggles!
She’s an angel!!

I look forward to my weekly sessions with Dr Phyl. She is a great listener and offers valuable insights, feedback, encouragement and support. She helps keeps me focused on my goals but also remain open-minded. She is welcoming and easy to talk to and I am grateful to have been connected with her.
I had been through a few therapists before finding Dr. Phyl- she is wonderful. She listens to me and actually remembers what is going on in my life. She has helped me in many different areas of my life- I feel I can be open and vulnerable without judgment while also receiving helpful feedback on how I can handle situations. I am very grateful for Dr. Phyl!
Always the right time!!
An amazing person with an abundance of knowledge and support, and an amazing reader who provides guidance and support through different methodologies that suits the person.
She’s polite, calm, listens and makes me feel valued. It’s hard to share feelings and things some might not share with family or friends, and here those concerns and needs are handled with care.
Dr. Mogielsi- Watson has been very constructive with her feedback and shared insights that has helped continue to make progress. She is an invaluable resource.
We’ve only just begun this journey, but I am already feeling much more confident in my choices and new boundaries. Thank you Dr. Phyl. You’re awesome.!
So far I'm very pleased with my therapy sessions with Dr. Watson. She's very intelligent and has opened my eyes to another aspect of therapy I didn't think I needed but had been very helpful.

She is very knowledgeable and listens well
She’s open and has a wealth of knowledge.
