Brendan Bell

Executive Director, Family Therapist @Cherry Hill Counseling

Partnering with Dr. Keith Bjorge, Dr. Clark Barshinger, Michelle Schaefer, Jack Gordon, and Diane Geiser, I manage our multi-site practice based in Lake Zurich IL. We have roughly 50 therapists working at Cherry Hill in Lake Zurich along with our branch offices in Deer Park, Vernon Hills, McHenry, Grayslake, Chicago, and Wheaton. Our team represents a broad range of therapeutic specialties. Alongside my practice management work, counseling families and adolescents continues to be a passion of mine. Over the years, I have developed extensive experience addressing behavior disorders, oppositionally defiant children and teens, and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Other proficiencies include treating mood disorders, social skills deficits, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, High Functioning Autism, separation anxiety, anger management, self-harm, addictions, and anxiety disorders. Artists are also a special interest area for me. With a background in art and philosophy, I truly enjoy working with unconventional thinkers and those who may view the world from a unique perspective. I consider it an honor and privilege to see the world from my client\'s perspective.
