Christine Treski
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, PCGC, CADC
Verified
With families I assist with communication, conflict resolution, mediation, and
substance use
interventions.
My approach to therapy is dually focused: I offer evidenced based interventions that teach skills and concepts to help you better manage emotional and mental discomfort. I also focus on insight, so I like to explore the deeper self, your existential curiosity, core beliefs, and values. I have found this approach can increase resilience, foster healing, and allow growth. I am collaborative, encouraging, and enjoy incorporating laughter and humor into sessions when appropriate.

All of us yearn for a sense of belonging, and it is human to feel lonely due to issues we may be facing in life. Feeling alone can have a detrimental impact not only to our mental/emotional health, but also physical health. I'm here to support you in your mental health journey and working towards a better quality of life. I strive for social justice and am attuned to the impacts and influences of society and culture. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and harm reduction lens, meaning I’m sensitive to the past experiences that have shaped you into who you are today while working in a collaborative approach.

Peter Bruce
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
Verified
I believe in working from the inside out to help my clients move beyond coping and into permanent healing. My clients often come to me after feeling “stuck” or "frustrated" that other therapies they have tried did not work and are ready for deep healing work. It's my experience that as humans we have an innate healing ability inside of us that is often blocked by our anxiety, depression and fear from past traumas. And when we bring compassion, clarity and compassion to these blockages we access our natural ability to unburden these wounds and step into inner peace and harmony.

Counselor, MA, LCPC

Accepting new clients! Thank you for having the courage and vulnerability of finding me here. Life isn’t always easy, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, overwhelming stress, constantly conflictual relationships with others, or an overall loss of the person you once were or hoped to be. Together, we can re-align yourself with your core values, break unconscious patterns, and release the negative emotion that may be stored in the body. I specialize my approach to what you need at the moment, whether that’s developing communication skills, healthy boundaries, or letting go of behaviors that no longer serve you.
Christopher Mayer

I provide psychotherapy to adults, teens, and families looking for a supportive place to grow and heal. Some people may be looking to make a change in their lives, while some may not be ready for a change but in search of better ways to live their life as it is. The important thing is that wherever you may be in that process, we can work together towards your vision for your life.
Emotional Spiritual Counseling
Counselor, Joseph, Gott, MA, LCPC
Verified
Have you been to counseling before but want more than just talking things out? Would you like to add your spirituality as a simpler, easier way to free yourself from emotional and relational problems? I offer deep but gentle methods that release blocks to your spiritual self - your inner essence that is naturally connected and content. This is done by bringing awareness, acceptance, and loving kindness to your inner experience, alongside prayer and conscious intention. These ways can resolve the root causes of personal problems like anxiety, loss, lack of meaning / purpose, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, and more.

I teach clients creative ways to connect with the wisest parts of themselves so they can progress in their lives with equanimity and confidence. My clinical experience includes treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, as well as interpersonal and relationship issues. I also have a strong ability to help artists and other creative individuals to become more effective versions of themselves.
Nicholas G Lattanzio
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
My orientation towards psychology was born out of my own difficulties in life; I want to make sure that those who seek help are able to get it. That said, I do best with clients who are at their worst, rock bottom. Fear of death and existential concerns, intrusive thoughts and urges, powerful and intense emotions, chronic stress and fatigue, loss of sense of self, lack of meaning and purpose in life, not being able to tell what's real and what isn't, regardless what it is. Whatever is your breaking point is the point at which you can change your life forever, I can help you through that process. The only way out is through.
Aaron Stuewe
Counselor, MA, LCPC
Verified
I believe change occurs in the context of our relationships, with our own self and with others. Oftentimes, when people seek out therapy, they are feeling lost, discarded, and may be filled with self-doubt and negative thoughts and feelings about themselves in the world. I work with clients to forge new ways of relating to ourselves and others to engage more fully in the world. We do this by learning a range of new skills and processing past experiences, but at its core, it is about connection with another human being and being seen, heard, understood, respected, and known.
Rachael Purdy
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICDC, LSW, LPLC
Verified
I have worked with children and adults in several different roles for almost 20 years. In my career as a counselor, I have specialized in adolescents, couples, adults, and the treatment of trauma, addiction and anxiety, to name a few. I treat all conditions, and I have a passion for helping others. My approach to therapy is strongly grounded in identifying the pathway for treatment by meeting clients where they are at and using their strengths to help them reach their goals.
Jeff Zacharias
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, ACSW, LCSW, CAADC
Verified
There are numerous reasons why an individual makes a decision to seek therapy. From my perspective, the key factor in being able to examine your individual reasons is based upon the relationship between yourself and your therapist. I offer a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment in order to explore your individual needs with a commitment to placing the highest priority on your care. We will work collaboratively to identify and address your concerns in order to foster meaningful change in your life. My clinical experience has included working not only with individuals but couples, families and groups.
Iggy V Ladden
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, AM, LCSW, RYT
As a therapist and mental health advocate, I believe everyone deserves one hour a week completely dedicated to them and what's coming up in their life. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQIA struggles, or relational issues, I can offer you a nonjudgemental and engaging space to get to know yourself on a deeper level. Through a process of self-understanding and self-acceptance, we lay the groundwork for your desired life shifts.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in Illinois, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in Illinois listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
