Testing and Evaluation Therapists in River North, Chicago, IL
I support adults navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and ADHD. You might find yourself overthinking, second-guessing decisions, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to break. Sometimes, there’s just a sense that something isn’t quite right, even when life looks fine on the outside. You may want deeper, more fulfilling relationships, but notice yourself holding back, shutting down, or creating distance. ADHD can add another layer of complexity, affecting not only daily life but also how you understand and relate to yourself.
