Derrick Hassert, Ph.D.,
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy & Counseling
Matteson, IL
My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where patients can explore their feelings and thoughts in order to gain insight into their problems. As a therapist I seek to foster a solid alliance with my patients in order to provide them with the best possible care. My approach to therapy is rooted in my belief that the patient’s perspective is the most important one and it is important to view each person as a unique individual. I'm currently an advanced candidate at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis, with previous training in interpersonal psychoanalytic psychotherapy through the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology, and training in transference focused psychotherapy through Columbia University's Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Illinois and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Indiana, offering services to individuals and couples.

Pursue Psychological and Emotional Change
Your Emotions Matter
Emotions are at the core of our human experience, yet so often it feels like our emotions can overwhelm our lives and lead us into behaviors that can ultimately derail us from our most valued goals. When you're struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, or major life changes, there comes a time when help is needed from a professional to cope with many of life’s trials and challenges. I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor in the Chicago Southland area (Matteson/Homewood-Flossmoor/Tinley Park/Frankfort), and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I offer individualized psychodynamic counseling and psychoanalytic psychotherapy to help you utilize your strengths and realize your personal potential.
