About Idalia

Idalia Walo is a practicing professional counselor, licensed in the State of Illinois, and a member of the American Psychological Association. From the time she completed her Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology at the Argosy University in Chicago, she has acquired extensive clinical experience working with a diverse range of clients in private practice settings. Idalia is equally adept at working with individuals and couples and has considerable expertise and knowledge to render counseling services for a wide array of emotional, psychological and mental health difficulties.

Her approach is characterized by an amalgamation of both cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered counseling, as she believes that both these differing approaches can successfully coexist to provide greater therapeutic opportunities for the patient.
