Kurt Hanus

Kurt Hanus is a compassionate counselor with a PsyD, dedicated to helping adults and elders navigate the complexities of their emotional lives. His approach centers on understanding how early relationships shape one's self-image and interpersonal dynamics. Clients often find themselves dealing with feelings of emptiness, conflict in relationships, or experiencing pronounced anxiety and depression. As a psychodynamic therapist, Kurt skillfully identifies the underlying thoughts and emotional patterns that hinder meaningful connections, offering a supportive space for healing and growth. He values every individual as more than just a diagnosis, focusing instead on understanding the unique challenges each client faces. With extensive training from The Object Relations Institute of New York City and The Center for Religion & Psychotherapy of Chicago, Kurt also serves as a Core Faculty Member at The Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago. Additionally, his background as a classically trained musician and former high school choral director enriches his holistic approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of self-expression and creativity in mental health.
