Specialties
Chronic illness and other health conditions
As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), Dylan Saks has an extensive background in working with all aspects of chronic illness, disability and health conditions. CRCs are the only professional counselors educated and trained at the graduate-level who possess the specialized knowledge, skills, and attitudes to work collaboratively with individuals with disabilities. Dylan Saks has experience helping people to adjust to the ripples of illness and health challenges across their life including the impact on employment, relationships, capacity, goals and outlook.
Anxiety, OCD and depression
Anxiety and OCD are often responses to trying to make sense of an uncertain world. This feeling of uncertainty caused by a new diagnosis can invade other parts of our lives. Attempts to control the world in an uncertain time often leads to feeling more out of control. Through therapy, clients are able to feel confident in their ability to tolerate discomfort and explore the functional aspects of their anxiety.
Depression can be this engulfing experience that is felt in the weighted, hopelessness it brings. Through therapy, we will work on building hope, resilience and a sense of a life worth living.
Relationship Issues
Dylan Saks is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. Dylan understands how to help people in building safe, loving and sustaining relationships. He has training that empowers couples to recognize and track their negative cycles when they happen. Negative cycles are often felt before they are understood in the “here we go again,” walking on eggshells feeling. By slowing down and learning to recognize the cycle through supportive therapy, partners can understand their underlying fears, longings and needs from their partner(s). Dylan is kink, poly, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
