I have been in private practice for 40+ years, having earned my Masters and Doctorate from Illinois Institute of Technology and my clinical license from the State of Illinois in 1973. Having been in active practice for this long, I have had the privilege of studying under some of the most significant figures in psychology in the Midwest. Gaining feedback from clients over the years on their outcomes allowed me to hone my skills as a diagnostician and clinician. Applying this knowledge and learning from the outcomes has allowed me to increase my success rate with my patients.
I utilize an eclectic approach to therapies and treatments. I am not bound by the conventions of dated treatment modalities and having experienced feedback over the decades has allowed me to provide targeted treatments that are most helpful to reach desired outcomes.
I use humor, reality goals, and incremental steps to reach satisfactory targets in therapy, I am gratified to receive the feedback from patients that what we have accomplished has met their goals and allowed them to move on and past the presenting issues that brought them to me,
I want my patients to know they can trust my approaches and gain a better outcome if they stick with the goals we set.

This is not my first time in therapy, but this is the first time more than one area of things I struggle with are being focused on. Dr. Krain does a great job with making me comfortable and safe to talk about things I've never wanted to say out loud or even admit to myself. Highly recommend Dr. Krain!

In the few months that I've had with Dr Krain, he has helped transform me from a sobbing ball of mess to someone who feels quite confident in their own skin. I really appreciate his calm and comforting approach, and often friend-like advice to help me feel more grounded especially when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed. Our sessions were often my favourite part of the week, and I very much still look forward to them.

Dr. Krain is pragmatic while being kind and understanding. I really enjoyed how in his strategy, he gave me tangible exercises to work on outside of therapy so that the work could continue beyond our sessions. While talking is key, the outside exercises helped me feel like I was doing something outside of therapy to better myself. Thank you Dr. Krain.
