My name is Kenneth R. Walker and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor - Intern. My LPC-A licensed work is being supervised by Chevonda Callender Allen, MA, LPC-S. I am from the South Suburbs of Illinois. I have traveled and lived in many places throughout my lifetime including overseas for several years in the Middle East. After serving 5 years active-duty military, I decided to attend college to pursue a degree in the counseling discipline. I graduated from Governors State University in May of 2015 with my Masters in Health Sciences in Addiction. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced difficult times in their life and find themselves stuck. Stress, anxiety, depression as a result of traumatic experiences are understandable. My desire is to come alongside you during this low point in your life and walk with you along your road to recovery. I have specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and am certified in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit goes to the man who is actually in the arena. I love this quote; it represents every person I've worked with over the years and how their decision to step into the arena of recovery mirrors their journey.
