Meet the founder
Marc Genson, LCPC
Telehealth and in-person in Westmont and Naperville
My name is Marc Genson and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and I have been a counselor for over 15 years. Counseling is a passion of mine as this allows a client to really learn about themselves and who they are and want to become. You are taking a brave step to seek help and I am happy to help you along your journey. We all have something we want to change and we here at Brighter Path Counseling and Psychiatry are here to help with that.
We all have areas in our lives that we can grow in and learn from and I am here to help you in those areas. No one is perfect but we often tell ourselves we have to be and that's not fair to us. Sometimes our thinking causes us to not be our best self and we make mistakes. I am here to help correct these mistakes moving forward through improved cognition, awareness and decision making via CBT, ACT and DBT techniques.
I know how important my job is and I want my clients to know I will be there to listen, support and guide but not tell them how to live their lives.
We welcome the chance to help a new client become the best version of themselves and grow here at Brighter Path Counseling and Psychiatry.
“Finding Brighter Path and its providers has helped me become the best version of myself.”
