Therapists Beginning With Y in Illinois
Everything has felt meaningless lately. Another week sleepwalking through the motions at work and dreading your time at home. Since that event, you’re not even sure what any of it is for. The people around you have noticed a change in your behavior; you’ve stopped socializing and have become gloomier. You had no idea how devastating this loss/change would be or how much it would change your life. Now, nights are spent restlessly staring at the ceiling. You barely eat and can’t remember the last time you exercised. Painful thoughts flood in without warning and overwhelm you. Life has become colorless, and you don’t see a way forward.

The good news is that there are a just few simple things you can learn in therapy that will make a world of difference to the bond you have with your partner.

Taking the first step toward improving your emotional and physical health and well-being is a big step, and I am glad you are here. My name is Tania and I am a licensed clinical therapist. I have had the privilege of supporting individuals in clinical, inpatient, outpatient, and educational environments. My thirty years of experience spans a diverse array of populations.

You’re doing all the things—showing up for work, school, relationships, maybe even therapy—and still feel off. Burned out, anxious, and tired of pretending you’re fine when you’re barely holding it together. I work with young adults, grad students, and early-career professionals who overthink, overfunction, and feel stuck or disconnected. Many are helpers—medical providers, therapists, educators—running on empty and beating themselves up for not having more to give.

I see psychotherapy as a collaborative process. From this perspective, I have developed an individualized approach in which the relationship provides a safe place where feelings and behavior can be explored. Often, current struggles have developed over time so that connections can be made to past experiences. With this understanding a person can begin to make changes which lead to greater satisfaction and happiness. I bring a solid eclectic knowledge base to the process, drawing on individual dynamics, relationship dynamics, and an understanding of human development throughout the life cycle.

You’re dealing with anxiety that feels exhausting—worry, panic, or intrusive thoughts that make it hard to function the way you want. Maybe trauma or substance use adds complexity or keeps old patterns in place. You want effective strategies, a clearer mind, and a sense of control. You’re seeking a therapist who understands anxiety clinically and also builds a strong, supportive relationship to help you make real, sustainable progress. Life is more than the absence of pain or stress. I support my clients to find freedom, peace of mind, and well-being.

Working with moms and their families is my passion. While becoming a mother is often a long-awaited and magical experience, it can also be a vulnerable time for many of us. When we become mothers, we often re-experience childhood trauma which causes unresolved emotional pain to unexpectedly surface. These triggers may disrupt what would otherwise be a smooth transition into our parental role. Without understanding why, we may become increasingly anxious or depressed as new mothers and need additional support. Or we may feel that we have lost our identity somewhere between dishes, nap times, and ferrying kids to their activities.

If you or your child tend(s) to be sensitive, rigid, and an unclear communicator, you may have wondered about autism. Or maybe you have had several therapies and diagnoses, and are wanting clarity and guidance on what actually works. I believe quality treatment starts with a thorough assessment. It is more than just a path to diagnosis, it is an opportunity to learn, reflect on what is and isn't working, and develop a plan for the supports you may need or changes you want to make. Further, if you feel controlled by your habits and are seeking a data-driven approach to therapy, we may be a good match!

Healing starts with feeling seen, heard, and understood. Being human means being imperfect, and life can be overwhelming and complicated. Yet within that struggle lies the ability to grow, connect, and self-discover. Rooted in a systemic approach, I explore how we are shaped by our relationships, identities, and environments—some seen, others hidden and even oppressive.

Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt? You may be navigating academic or career pressure, family expectations, or the emotional complexity of living between cultures. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, and feeling “never good enough,” even when they appear capable on the outside. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel understood, and move forward with greater clarity, emotional balance, and self-trust.
