Dr. Paul Nevin is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach. He is co-owner of Heart Light Psychological Services in Bannockburn, Illinois, which he operates with his wife, Dr. Kerri Nevin.
Dr. Nevin is deeply committed to understanding the effects of stress and negative emotions on both psychological wellbeing and physical health, and to using that knowledge to help people struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression. This focus has led him to develop a highly holistic approach to treatment. Grounded in the cognitive and somatic tools of clinical psychology, his work also takes into account the role of neuropsychology, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other lifestyle factors that influence health and wellbeing.
He also draws upon more than forty years of experience teaching meditation and related mind-body practices, including yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, and others. Since his earliest years studying psychology, Dr. Nevin has been guided by a desire to integrate the best of modern and ancient, East and West, traditional and complementary approaches.
His work combines evidence-informed Western psychology with longstanding experience in meditation, yoga, qigong, breathing methods, guided imagery, grounding, and other self-regulation tools. This allows him to offer clients a holistic and highly personalized approach to stress, anxiety, depression, and personal growth. What distinguishes Dr. Nevin is not only the breadth of his training, but the depth of his commitment to helping people understand themselves more fully and live with greater empowerment, authenticity, and freedom.
