Teletherapy for Lake View - Chicago, IL

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

A solution focused team of professionals who want to help you reduce anxiety, dial down stress, and create inner balance. Learn how to live a calmer, more relaxed life. Our staff truly believes that every person - including you - holds the power to effect meaningful, lasting change. When you visit with one of our therapists, you can expect a warm, affirming, and caring environment. Using a collaborative approach rooted in evidence-based modalities, we encourage self-awareness, skill-building and new beginnings. Helping you get "un-stuck" is part of what we do.

Welcome, you have just taken a step closer to living the life that you want for yourself! When life challenges are greater than the skills and support that we have, personal problems erupt. I believe that human suffering is an inherent part of life. I am committed to helping people overcome life challenges and achieve greater life satisfaction.

Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors and traumatic events - including new or ongoing health conditions - affect every aspect of our lives and can make relationships - with family, friends, colleagues, and even healthcare providers - very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported (even by the well-intentioned). They can lead us to make choices we aren't proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general.

Therapy is a place that balances acceptance and change. Maybe you have noticed an imbalance in your life and are struggling to either find out or work towards what matters most to you. I want to be your collaborator as we work towards what you care about by integrating mindfulness, looking at past patterns, and understanding how larger societal systems impact you. My goal is to help you live a life you feel connected to and are proud of. The success of our work together is dependent upon the establishment of a solid relationship between us and collaboration.

Possibly one of the most overlooked yet effective approaches to taking care of yourself is the simple act of listening–listening to yourself, listening to your body, and having someone you trust listening to you. Listening is where I like to start – to ensure that before anything else, I take the time to understand who you are. Each individual takes a unique path and one of my goals is to embrace that in a collaborative and open treatment experience. I take a nonjudgmental and empowering approach to ensure that my clients are strengthening their sense of self while acknowledging the past and present challenges.

Hi! I'm a therapist and social worker based in Chicago. I am white, disabled, nonbinary, and femme presenting. I’ve worked in the sexual health and mental health fields for several years, and have worked with clients with an array of identities and diagnoses.

Feeling anxious, stressed or depressed? Many people are overwhelmed these days. There is help.

“I’ve been hearing from people that they’re in therapy and I’m curious if it’s for me, but I’m just not sure…” -“My relationship is struggling and we just can’t seem to get on the same page or connect anymore!” “Our family has gone through some big changes and challenges and we’re just either fighting or ignoring one another…” “I have gone through a lot of different things in life and recently just feel ready to process them.” If any of this connects with you- schedule a consult! Let’s see if we’re a fit!

I'm a queer therapist who often works with LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Latine children, adults, couples/partners, families, and polycules, while being mindful of my white identity. My areas of interest include identity exploration and intersectionality, difficulties related to sex and intimacy, challenges in communication between partners, and non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. I work across the lifespan and have experience with children as young as three years old through adulthood. I often pull from frameworks like psychodynamic theory, person-centered therapy, and attachment theory.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Psychologist, I utilize empirically supported treatments, humor, genuineness and empathy to treat a variety of problems including: panic disorder, social anxiety, OCD, BFRBs, PTSD, generalized anxiety, depression, emotion dysregulation, and ADHD. I also work with those who are dealing with sexual orientation/identity issues and relationship (work, family, romantic) concerns. We will work collaboratively to move you towards your goals and to help you improve your relationships with others and yourself, so that you can live a more satisfying life. Come as you are, and leave as you are at your best.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University. I have experience working with young adults, adults, and senior ages in individual and group settings. Utilizing a Psychodynamic approach, I aim to partner with you to help you achieve your goals.

I’m Abbie, a dedicated intern therapist specializing in supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, and anxiety. With years in the field I have developed a passion for mental health and am eager to provide empathetic and effective support tailored to my clients needs. I aim to help my clients develop their self compassion, resilience, and overall satisfaction with life. By utilizing a strengths-based approach, my clients work toward meeting their goals.

Each of us arrive into therapy for different reasons - seeking support, safety, connection, exploration, or change. Whatever the reason, when we enter therapy, we bring our whole self with us – body, mind, and spirit. Within my work, I center this holistic connection while expanding awareness, reclaiming safety and power, exploring purpose, and redefining our relationships to ourselves, others, and the world around us. As a dance/movement therapist and licensed counselor, my approach merges verbal processing and creative/body-based techniques.

I believe my role as a therapist is to help you hold and find meaning in your pain, and delight with you in what is playful and pleasureful in your life. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I am interested in creating a genuine, transparent and accountable relationship with you. My hope is that within our relationship we can identify and interrupt harmful patterns that may emerge in your relationships and reinforce patterns that bring you joy and connection. Therapy is inherently political, and I aim to engage with my clients in ways that are liberatory, anti-racist and affirming of their intersecting identities.

Making changes in our lives can feel impossible at times, even when our habits and thinking patterns no longer serve us. In the therapy room, I practice radical acceptance with the ups and downs of growth with humor, patience, and curiosity. Grounded in the DBT tradition, I prioritize nonjudgment and dialectical thinking: we can accept difficult realities and still lead a life worth living.

The stories of our lives are made up of connections and strengths as well as challenges. I will walk alongside you through the processing of these hardships in a journey towards healing and growth. I work to create a safe, non-judgemental space with an empathetic and collaborative approach. I believe in empowerment, authenticity, and honesty to foster insight into patterns and progress towards the goals you seek to achieve.

I work primarily with QT/BIPOC folks navigating concerns around past trauma, (acute and complex), their racial identity and how it intersects with other identities, their relationship with their bodies, and connection to their community. In particular I work with biracial/multi-racial folks navigating their racial identity development. I work with folks who have eating disorder and body image concerns and use a HAES approach. I work with trans/non-binary folks around embodiment, and their relationships with their bodies, food, and body image.
