I am Dr. Bill Bautista; a bilingual/bicultural (Spanish/English) licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois. My education and experiences are based on formal schooling in Mexico and United States. I have worked in private practice since 2012 specializing in therapeutic work with children, adolescents, adults and multigenerational families. In my practice, I draw from past experience working with diverse clients in hospitals, clinics, non-for-profits, police, schools, college and university settings. I apply various therapeutic models & tailor sessions to the specific needs of clients.

Typically, clients begin therapeutic work because they may be dealing with a range of issues that interfere with normal day-to-day functioning at varying levels. For some, these may include difficult life transitions such as a separation/divorce, traumatic events, loss/grief, personal/relationship issues, academic/work-related issues, among many others.

Physical and emotional symptoms of these may present as high stress levels, various frustrations or anxieties, panic attacks, or episodes of depression or anger among others. These symptoms often decrease our overall quality of life and create an impact on healthy patterns of sleep, appetite, energy, motivation and relationships.
