Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Chicago, IL

Hi-I'm Madison- a licensed therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions and changes. I create a compassionate and down-to-earth space where you can feel understood and supported in making meaningful change.

I'm Simone Shepardson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with nearly two decades of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I've worked across a range of clinical settings — inpatient care, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient therapy — which has given me a deep understanding of how to meet clients wherever they are in their journey. I specialize in working with gifted populations, high-functioning autism, anxiety, ADHD, and family dynamics. I've served over 10 years on the board of the Illinois Association for Play Therapy and previously acted as a clinical advisor to the West Suburban Bipolar Group in DuPage County. Outside of my practice, I'm a professionally trained singer and musician, a dancer, and a devoted wife and mother. I bring my whole self — warmth, creativity, and genuine care — into the work I do with each client.

I'm Dr. Qianhui Zhang, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology and over 15 years of experience working with young adults, students, and professionals. My practice has been primarily centered on international students, immigrant communities, and BIPOC professionals — people who are often navigating not just personal struggles, but the compounding weight of cultural transition, systemic stress, and identity in a world that wasn't always built with them in mind. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, intergenerational and complex trauma, attachment and intimacy difficulties, and the particular pressures that come with high-functioning burnout. I also work with eating disorders, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity development, and psychedelic preparation and integration. I offer individual psychotherapy, group therapy, psychological evaluation (including immigration evaluations), and consultation and training for therapists and other professionals. I conduct sessions in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, and see clients in person in Chicago as well as via telehealth across 43 PsyPact states.

Welcome! My name is Arianna. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience supporting teens and adults navigating anxiety, eating disorders, neurodivergence, and life adjustments. I provide a calm, grounded space to help you navigate your current chapter with clarity and purpose. I believe in helping individuals come to terms with their current circumstances while also supporting your capacity to pursue meaningful change and personal transformation.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or the weight of daily life. Many of my clients come in wanting clarity, stability, and someone steady to talk to. I offer a calm space to slow down, understand what’s going on, and feel more grounded. If life has felt heavy or unmanageable, you don’t have to sort through it alone.

Hi! I’m Lisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 12 years of experience in the school setting. I am also a wife to a first responder and a mom of 2. I offer individual therapy for teens and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout and the general overwhelm that can come with everyday life. I have a special interest in supporting educators, first responder families and parents who feel stretched too thin. If your mind moves quickly, your to-do list never ends, or you often feel behind no matter how hard you try - you are not alone!

As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with adolescents and young adults to find meaning and purpose while working through the mental barriers that have created challenges in their lives. I specialize in working with adolescents, addictions, men's issues, depression and anxiety.

My therapy room is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. You can show up, fully and authentically, without the need to code-switch or justify your experiences. Our sessions are a dedicated time for you to be heard and understood without judgment.

My name is Glen Alan Ensinger. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I lived in Colorado for over one year and was licensed last March. I have been licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois since 2002. I have provided crisis counseling and domestic violence counseling for perpetrators and victims. I completed my master's degree at Western Illinois University which included a practicum and internship at White Oaks in Peoria, Illinois. This is a substance abuse program. I have worked at a school for children with behavioral problems and also have provided counseling and crisis services at a community mental health center. For approximately 10 years I was on clinical staff for the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria, Illinois where I provided counseling services for clients in the HIV program. I worked over 8 years at the 9th Judicial Court in Illinois as a court services therapist. I have a private practice that includes working for programs that helped children either get adopted or return home from the foster care program (or help parents get the children returned to them). My primary work has been with families, couples and children. I use dialectical behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and general Rogerian therapy to help people live more successful lives.
