John Dolores
About
Welcome, and thank you for visiting. My name is John Dolores, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois. My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful growth happens within a safe, respectful, and collaborative relationship. I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they work through challenges, strengthen resilience, and cultivate deeper self-awareness. Each person is an individual, and I approach care with compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to tailoring treatment to your specific needs.
I became a psychologist to help people. As I grew within my profession, I realized that certain individuals face challenges in society that others are unaware of. As the parent of a neurodivergent daughter, my perspective shifted to enable me to understand the obstacles in her every day life. I spent a lot of time helping her and assisting others in seeing life through her eyes. I am energized by helping others with similar challenges as we aim adjust society's understandings of the neurodivergent individual.
In my work, I center the inherent strengths and resilience each person brings with them. Rather than focusing on deficits, I see our time together as an opportunity to uncover and expand the qualities that already support your growth. I approach our sessions with compassion and affirmation, honoring your identity, your lived experience, and the values that shape your path. My role is to walk alongside you, encouraging your voice and your power, while helping you access the potential that has always been within you.
