Fundamentally, we all search for meaning and our highest, most fulfilled life. Therapy can help to uncover and rectify those blockages that hold us back - the trauma that has paralyzed, the depression that has frozen, or the anxiety that has impaired.

Scott D Pytluk, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Verified
I believe many life struggles are due to our best attempts to adapt in ways that don't seem to work. Emotional distress is often caused by factors outside our awareness. These factors limit the range of possible ways to live fulfilling lives. We try to help ourselves by using various creative strategies and sometimes discover we can succeed only with the assistance of someone who knows how to help. A close relationship with a skilled and sensitive professional who understands human challenges is crucial to discovering new ways of being and relating. I collaborate closely in relationship with clients to help transform their lives.

Rosondunnii Marshall
Marriage & Family Therapist, ALMFT
Verified
The ideal client for me is someone who is ready for something different. It’s normal to feel fear when stepping into change and I work with my clients so they don’t have to be stopped or dismayed by said fears or doubts. The therapeutic process involves a willingness to learn and being open to outside and differing perspectives. I’m passionate about partnering with clients who are willing to work together to achieve their goals.
Patrick Sterk
Licensed Professional Counselor
Verified
My name is Patrick, and I’m glad you found my page. Life can be hard, and change isn’t easy. If it was, we would have done it already. In my experience, change and personal growth come with guidance and training as well as support and understanding. That is what I can offer to anyone that would like to work with me. The main focus of my work is with individuals and couples in the kink and poly communities, as well as individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I also work frequently with LGBTQIAA clients and people experiencing anxiety or depression.

I work with individual adults seeking assistance with stress management, work/life balance, major life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and/or a history of traumatic experiences. My coursework and clinical experience at Northwestern University, coupled with my undergraduate studies in the "Great Books" program at the University of Notre Dame, have led me to adopt a multifaceted and holistic approach to mental health care. This approach allows me to tailor my work with clients to their specific needs and goals.
Rachel C Sturges
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
People find themselves looking for the help of a professional when their previous ways of coping are no longer effective and they feel lost or stuck. Therapy is an opportunity for change. By entering into therapy, you offer yourself an opportunity to explore your needs and feelings with an insightful, caring professional who can support you in finding new ways of meeting the challenges in your life. I am interested in helping my patients understand themselves, their behaviors, and their experiences by making meaning of how past experiences have impacted them and potentially influence current behaviors, relationships, and life circumstances.
Samantha Perry
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LSW
Verified
I became a therapist because I believe that change is always possible, and that humans have an inherent ability to heal and transform when they feel safe, heard, and connected. I understand that sometimes patterns of thinking, difficult emotions, or past circumstances feel like they pull us away from living life fully. In session, I will work with you to identify your strengths, increase self-compassion, create safety in your body, and expand your capacity to respond in the face of life’s difficult moments. I'm also a big believer in the power of humor, and encourage you to bring your full selves into our work together.
Richard Bright
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

I believe in the transformative power of a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship. I value patience and kindness as I walk with my clients through their struggles. There are many paths to healing, and I invite my clients to collaborate with me on identifying their barriers and overcoming them with curiosity and creativity. Each person has innate strengths, and I work with clients on harnessing these tools. Together, we shine a light on old narratives to make way for change and transformation.

Alexis Silas
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I specialize in helping people recover from anxiety. I also work with women who suffer from depression, trauma, and complex relationship problems of all kinds. Too often, worries and fears get the best of us and control our decisions. Instead of living the life we want, we end up making choices in life and in relationships that are rooted in self-doubt, anxiety, and worry. I provide a safe, empathetic, nonjudgmental space in which we work together to reduce fears and develop new, authentic ways of engaging in relationships.
Lashawnda Thornton
Sometimes it can feel like something is holding you back from living the life you envision, or at times, you can feel lost and don't know what else to do. I can help clients discover the answer. I will never tell clients what to do, but through healthy conversation, guidance and recommendations, I can help clients have more fulfilling relationships, empower clients to take action on their own, and help create and achieve personal goals. My therapeutic approach in each session is listening to clients closely, asking questions as needed to fully understand the issues discussed, and validating my client’s emotions and feelings.
Jessica Heiman Freilich
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I work with adults of all ages who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma. I am committed to helping individuals foster well-being and positive relationships despite the challenges they face. My approach is to utilize relational and insight-oriented therapy while collaborating with clients to personalize my work in order to most effectively meet one's needs. I bring warmth, genuineness and a sense of empathy to the therapeutic relationship.
Dr. Alan M Jaffe
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
A good fit between therapist and patient is an essential ingredient in forming an effective working alliance, assuming the therapist has strong academic credentials. That is why I encourage patients to do their research. The best way to determine whether people can work well together is to talk. There should be no charge for an initial phone consultation to evaluate this. If after a phone visit it doesn't feel like a good fit, I will help you find someone who is.
Miren Itziar Guereca
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC

The weight of your daily responsibilities and tasks can be overbearing. You may feel as if you have no control and fear is starting to set in. At times your past comes to haunt you and guilt and shame can rear its ugly head. Perhaps you find yourself in limbo, trapped between two cultures. Your family riddles your waking life with obligations and expectations from the motherland. And yet your innermost desires cater more to a modern “American life”. Living between two worlds can at times be a difficult balancing act and you feel as if you do not fit anywhere.
Sabra Maurice
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, CCH, RM
Verified
You may want to make changes, yet feel beaten down by worry. A part of you may be aware that difficult experiences you’ve faced throughout your life could be connected to your current struggles. As an intuitive holistic counselor I believe we can change by healing from the inside out. What shows up in our outer life through negative thoughts, unwanted behaviors, body discomfort or difficult feelings can be a signal or sign we are ready for change. I believe the present symptoms or conditions give us clues to what is going on inside, possibly connected to past difficult experiences that need attention, understanding and healing.
