Top therapists in Illinois accepting new patients
Hello,
I'm Nick, and I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to you. I'm committed to helping you find a path to better emotional well-being and personal growth.
Life can throw its curveballs, and it's natural to feel a bit lost at times. As a licensed therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the potential for positive change that exists within all of us.
I don't have a physical office space at this time. I can see clients virtually, or I can come to your home or office.
Please reach out to me at (319) 481-8505 or [email protected] for any questions!
With more than 30 years of experience in healthcare, I have worked across both mental health and critical care settings. I hold degrees in nursing and counseling psychology, and I am passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centered care. As a dedicated advocate for my patients, my goal is to help each individual function at their highest potential and achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in their well-being.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 15 years of clinical experience. My practice is a general outpatient practice, best suited for those who desire improvement in their love life, family life, work life, or in their physical health and wellness. My approach emphasizes the importance of practicing new behaviors outside of the therapy.
We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to invest in your healing and growth today. Whether you’re a newcomer to therapy/counseling or an experienced client, I feel it’s a brave and wonderful thing to do the work of mental-emotional healing. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, career challenges, LGBTQ+ related issues, grief and loss and trauma disorder such as PTSD.
Great to meet you! I've been helping people sleep better since 2002. I'm a Licensed Psychologist (IL) and a Registered Sleep Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in therapy for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.
Most of my clients have struggled with chronic or acute insomnia and feel stuck in the cycle — they've tried all the usual tips and tricks, but nothing seems to work. I take a thorough approach because easy fixes rarely solve sleep problems. I start by understanding everything that may be affecting your sleep, then build a plan around you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.
I’m warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in the people I work with. I want therapy to feel like a safe, comfortable conversation where you can show up exactly as you are—even on the days when you don’t quite know what to say.
I use empathy, honesty, and humor in my sessions, and I’m not afraid to be direct when I think it will help you grow. I’ll validate what you’re feeling, but I’ll also gently challenge you to look at patterns, consider different perspectives, and recognize the things that may be keeping you stuck. I’m not the kind of therapist who will simply nod for an hour while you do all the work.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My job is to listen, help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and give you practical tools to create meaningful change. We can talk about the hard things, celebrate the wins, laugh when we need to, and work together toward helping you feel more like the person you want to be.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling, which complements my extensive clinical experience and informs my evidence-based, client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that each person possesses inherent value, resilience, and the capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward your personal goals.
Together, we will identify the issues that matter most to you, develop practical strategies for change, and build on your existing strengths to promote healing, resilience, and emotional well-being. Whether you are facing a current challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and hope.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have been working in the field of mental health sense 2006. I have a Master's Degree in International Social Justice and Public Policy as well as a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have a background in Addictions, Eating Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD and Chronic Illness. I have worked in hospitals, outpatient programs as well as group and residential therapy.
