Great Life Counseling Center - Addison

My experience receiving counseling from Dr. Charleen Wilder has been absolutely phenomenal. Professional, understanding, and enlightening is what I can say my experience with them has been. Counseling for sure works as long as you are motivated and serious. I am very fortunate to have been working with Dr. Charleen Wilder and my life has totally changed since I first started. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for counseling!

My wife and I have been coming to see Dr. Stillo here since 2016 and we come rather regularly for monthly/bimonthly checkups and we've loved it ever since!

I can't speak for the other clinicians at this location, but if they're anything like Stillo, then you can expect a truly helpful experience. I can honestly say that my marriage has been much stronger from coming here and as long as I can help it, they will be our mental health specialists for life! I highly recommend them!

When I met Dr. Lambert in 2015, I was a mere shell of myself. I was one year into a new job (producing mediocre results), living with my sister, overweight, and on the “outs” of a relationship that ended up failing horribly. I was extremely vulnerable and was in search of why I was failing at life. As sessions with Dr. Lambert went on, I was able to gain a deeper understanding into who I was, why I was attracting certain people in my life and why I continued to make decisions that manifested the same results. Dr. Lambert challenged me to change my perspective and put forth some serious effort to change my life. Within THREE MONTHS of seeing him, I bought my first home. Within the first TWO YEARS of seeing him, I was promoted twice at my job, lost 40 pounds and got engaged. I owe all of this to the positive vision that Dr. Lambert saw within me- especially when I lost sight of it within myself. Dr. Lambert’s sessions are always warm, welcoming and encouraging. In the last three years, I have never experienced a misunderstanding with billing or appointments. He has an amazing memory to detail and can recall stories, conversations and challenges that I discussed with him (and often forgot about) since day one of seeing him…. [To put this into proper perspective, keep in mind that I see him bi-weekly and he has other patients. I find it amazing for him to stay on track with things that I discuss with him. It is as if I am his only patient at times.]… He tells me what I NEED to hear and does so in a way that never makes me feel beat down about myself. I actually walk away from each session with a sense of empowerment and an eagerness to tackle life’s next hurdle. Although I have come a long way since 2015, I continue to see him on a semi-weekly basis for “maintenance”. I enjoy our talks, which have become an equal part of my routine as going to the gym or watching the sunset during an evening stroll through my favorite nature reserve. I see Dr. Lambert as more of a friend and a mentor than I do as a therapist. He is a much-needed source of knowledge and support as I continue with life. It is because of Dr. Lambert that I have been able to get back to the basics of enjoying life, building meaningful relationships and loving myself. Not only has he been a major influence, Dr. Lambert lives by example. I’ve had the experience of seeing his office grow in terms of space, team members and eventually to a new location. The culture of his staff has always been focused, friendly and professional. I can tell that his team is a direct reflection of him and I can honestly say that they are doing a lot of things right over there. I highly recommend Dr. Lambert (and his qualified team of doctors at Great Life Counseling Center) to anyone in need of mentoring or improvement in relationships, self-actualization, self-confidence, parenting, career advancement or personal goals.
