Meet Our Therapists

Our Story. Our Difference.

The hallmark of our team is that we love to learn.

Since its inception in 2010, our group has grown to include colleagues from various departments at Northwestern Medicine. Most of our therapists conduct research and work in health-related specialties, and we stay up to date on the latest, most effective evidence-based treatments.

Our clients and referring colleagues appreciate the credentials and experience of our therapists. We like to focus on our most important goal – to create a warm and welcoming environment in which our clients feel safe and supported.

Our therapists offer virtual and in-person appointments at our Lakeview office.

If you are located outside Illinois, several of our therapists have Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) granted by the PSYPACT Commission, which enables us to provide teletherapy to clients in 40+ states.
