Bluestem Counseling, PLLC

Matt Kindler is a counselor practicing in Rockford, Illinois, as part of Bluestem Counseling, PLLC, a therapy practice located in the Strathmoor Office Suites at 6085 Strathmoor Dr., Suite 1C, Rockford, IL 61107. He offers in-person sessions locally and telehealth counseling throughout Illinois and Wisconsin. For virtual appointments, clients must be physically located in Illinois or Wisconsin during the session, and the site notes that individual insurance coverage for teletherapy varies.

The practice focuses on outpatient individual counseling. The website organizes its services into five areas: stress and anxiety, depression, men, harmful habits, and teens. The stress and anxiety focus is described as help for when the demands of life keep piling up. The depression focus is aimed at people who cannot remember the last time they were truly happy. The section for men notes that it seems more difficult being a man today. The harmful habits section observes that everyone has habits they wish they did not have. The teens section addresses parents who are worried about the path their teen is on.

The site's welcome message speaks to people who appear to have everything together on the outside while carrying the weight of stress, anxiety, or depression internally. It describes how minor negative thoughts can be allowed to ruminate until they become debilitating, and how clients may feel they cannot talk with friends or family because their concerns will not be believed or taken seriously. The stated view is that talking with someone who does not know the client and has no expectations of them can be enough to begin healing.

Prospective clients can reach the practice at (815) 435-0907 or matt@bluestemrockford.com. A client portal, an appointments and location page, and an FAQ page are also available on the site.
