If you are experiencing OCD, we'll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tackling your fears together at a pace that feels right for you.
Have you suffered a recent loss or are impacted by painful experiences from your past? Do relentless "what if" thoughts plague your mind, leaving you wondering if OCD is the culprit? Perhaps you've grappled with both, feeling overwhelmed by shame or fear. Maybe you are a helping professional (therapist, doctor, nurse...) and are experiencing burnout from working in intense settings. As a specialist in trauma and OCD, I'm here to provide the support you need. My approach is rooted in collaboration, honoring your strengths and nurturing the connections already within you.

Wheaton, IL 60187
I specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
I believe that change best occurs in the context of an open, trusting relationship. Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which we work together to address the issues that you are struggling with. Together, we will identify your feelings, thoughts, and dynamics that are impacting your life. We will work together to meet your goals in pursuit of a purposeful and rewarding life.

Peoria, IL 61614
These introduction statements are usually cheesy and kinda dumb. So, I'll cut to the chase. I am a therapist here in Peoria. I see teenagers (14+) and adults. I utilize a type of therapy called Internal Family Systems with most of my patients. This is considered "parts" work (like the movie "Inside Out"). I also am trained to utilize Exposure and Response Prevention as I was trained through BTTI with the International OCD Foundation. I'm not just a therapist, I'm also a client! (I, too, have OCD. Yay.) Lastly, I utilize Sandplay therapy, a nonverbal cousin to art therapy which can be healing for those with trauma.

Creal Springs, IL 62922 (Online Only)
Hi, I'm Adam Pearson. I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and was trained by a Psychiatrist for two years. I use a variety of techniques and tools. Therapy is typically 8-16 weeks; around eight weeks, your symptoms should go from Severe to Moderate, and 16-18 weeks, moderate to mild. I practice from a faith-based perspective, but all are welcome. You can text, call, or email; I typically see a new patient within 48-72 hours. I had PTSD, Depression, and OCD and am now free. Now it's your turn! This is where you learn to love and like yourself, maybe for the first time. I have helped 1000s. This is your flying lesson!

I specialize in treating OCD, anxiety, panic, and relationship issues by using ERP, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and of course, some humor.
Hi! I’m Rachel Nicholson a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Psychotherapist, and I could not be more excited to work with you! I know what it feels like to be scared to take the first step; to go through the hard work in order to grow. Because of that, it makes me the therapist I am today. Empathetic, understanding, and compassionate. These qualities are what I bring into our sessions in order to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. I want you to feel comfortable enough to share anything that comes to mind without any fear or judgement–knowing that we are in this together.

Some of the main concerns I specialize in include anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) depression, family conflict, attachment, and relationship issues.
Therapy can sometimes be a challenging first step for those currently going through a tough time. It can already be very difficult to try and cope with the day to day struggles as well as past traumas in life that opening up to a stranger may feel intimidating. It is my hope to allow my clients to not only feel safe to share their most unique selves within a therapeutic setting, but also to establish a warm and empathic relationship. As a therapist, I recognize the value of kindness and rapport in helping my clients heal. Feeling both seen and heard can truly make a difference in allowing personal growth to take place.

Anxiety and stress impact all of us. When things in your life feel unmanageable, it's time to get some support. It can feel vulnerable reaching out but typically people feel better once they take the first step.

If any of the above hits home, let’s get you connected with someone who gets it, someone who knows the ins and outs of anxiety, OCD, perfectionism and shame: me.
At best, your uninvited thoughts are uncomfortable. At worst, they totally disturb you and make you question yourself. You worry constantly and your brain is always getting you to follow its rule book, never relaxing, always avoiding. You would never call yourself perfect, but yet you strive for perfection in every move you make. To control your biggest fears, you do things that logically you know don’t even make sense, but you can’t stop because the risk feels too big. And tomorrow? Ultimately it ends up being rinse and repeat, because the cycle is relentless.

I specialize in stress, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and people-pleasing.
On the outside you appear calm and steady, on the inside you feel tense and preoccupied, pushing aside your own needs to attend to the issue in front of you. You're high functioning, yet you hold yourself back from fully engaging with others and your own interests. Maybe you don’t even know what you enjoy because you’ve been so focused on prioritizing others. You find yourself going about your routines and trying to feel relief, but your current ways of operating are contributing to a build up of stress. Maybe you’ve limited your world, told yourself what you can and cannot do, and now you’re wondering how much you can change.
