What types of issues do you specialize in treating?

We specialize in treating a variety of mental health concerns, including trauma and PTSD, which can develop after experiencing shocking or dangerous events; anxiety disorders, characterized by excessive worry about everyday life issues; bipolar disorder, known for manic episodes lasting at least seven days; borderline personality disorder, where individuals often see things in extremes; dissociative disorders, which may develop as a response to trauma; mood disorders, which cause significant symptoms impacting daily functioning; and substance use disorders, involving repeated misuse of drugs or alcohol.

What is EMDR, and how does it work?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy effective for addressing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. It helps clients reprocess traumatic memories through guided eye movements, activating the brain’s natural healing process and reducing emotional distress.

How long does a typical therapy session last?

Our therapy sessions typically last between 50 to 60 minutes. However, session length may vary based on individual needs and treatment plans.

Is EMDR therapy suitable for everyone?

EMDR is effective for many people dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other issues. During an initial assessment, we determine if EMDR is the right approach based on each client’s unique situation.

How soon can I expect to see progress with therapy?

The timeline for progress varies with each individual. Some clients notice changes after a few sessions, while others may need more time. The pace of treatment is always tailored to the client’s comfort and readiness.

Do you offer Telehealth Therpay sessions?

Yes! Telehealth appointments are available for clients throughout Illinois.

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘My heart is broken.”
~ C. S. Lewis
