Therapy for Healing, Growth & Life Transitions

We treat a wide range of life issues, including addictions, sports performance, smoking cessation, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, eating disorders, grief, weight loss, family adjustment, divorce, relationship challenges, ADHD, behavior problems, infertility and adoption, retirement, women’s issues, and many more.

Connections Therapy Center helps individuals fine-tune the missing pieces and overcome the hidden blocks that hold them back from achieving their full potential. Within the deepest part of each mind, and hidden within the most sacred part of each heart, lie the special gifts that make us each uniquely who we are. We help people “make their own lightning.” In other words, to connect to that spark within them that leads the beauty of life to unfold free of pain. One’s fear and courage can then move forward hand in hand, making this world a better place for us all.

Our therapists strive to create an environment where clients can heal, grow, and ultimately succeed. Our office in Rockton is centrally located in Northern Illinois, which provides easy access for our therapy services and classes to people from Rockford, Loves Park, South Beloit, Roscoe, Belvidere, and Beloit. We offer telephone and video telehealth as well, and PSYPACT allows Dr. Stear to practice in 43 states. Dr. Stear is also licensed in Louisiana.
