Meet Our Therapists

Donna Gluck, MS, LCPC

Welcome!

Thank you for exploring DG Counseling, Inc. There are many demands, struggles, and needs in this life. I've found that in the middle of difficulty, there is opportunity. I dreamed of offering quality service to those that need assistance. I have been in the counseling field for many years and have had the pleasure to hand-pick therapists that have a wealth of experience and knowledge. One strong life lesson I have received is that those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream simply by night.

The therapists each have an area of expertise that serves the community well. If you would take time to review all that we offer, I am sure we will be able to meet your individual need. If we are not able to help, DGC. has a vast referral base to assure you will receive high quality assistance. I believe we are to seek and we will find it. Remember, what is unsought will be undetected.

Welcome again; come, spend some time with us!

We hope to hear from you soon. Call 630-353-0697. It is time to start living the life you have imagined.

Respectfully and Sincerely,
Donna Gluck

Matthew Teske, B.A., MAC

Matthew Teske is currently an intern at DG Counseling, Inc.  He graduated from Aurora University with a Bachelor in Psychology and is  now a graduate student at Benedictine University. His areas of expertise are far and wide, but he is particularly interested in working with children and adolescent behavior. By using motivational encouragement, Matt asks you to examine your life and ask yourself if you're living to your full potential.

Matthew brings not only his very well developed intuition, clinical skills and experience to the therapy sessions including humor, music and creative goal setting.  He feels that whatever your circumstances and how you feel there is always a reason to hope. Sometimes we may think that there is no hope left; we need to take steps in order to find possibilities. Matthew has successfully cheered, supported, set goals, and helped the hurting to keep a healing sense of humor. Matthew can help others to be thankful for each day, and how to accept the comfort offered by those that are able to offer.
