Hello, I'm John Benton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. My background includes community mental health, crisis intervention, and residential treatment, where I've worked with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. I specialize in helping clients manage emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I care deeply about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and stress. I believe that every person’s story matters, and your care should reflect your unique needs and goals.
Hello, I am Pamela "Paige" Lees. I have been a licensed therapist for 30 years. I have worked with a wide variety of people and together tackled a multitude of life's problems. I have a master's degree in clinical psychology from the University of Illinois and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Eastern Illinois University. I enjoy working with individuals and I specialize family problems of all kinds.
If you're feeling stretched thin—anxious, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can't quite name—you don't have to keep pushing through it alone. I'm Risa, an LCSW with over 10 years of experience helping adults move from overwhelmed to grounded.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, grief, anger, relationship strain, identity questions, and difficult life transitions. Many of my clients look high-functioning on the outside while struggling underneath—racing thoughts, disrupted sleep, burnout, or a quiet sense that something needs to change.
Over my career I've supported clients in community mental health, geriatric care, veterans' health, and corrections—settings that taught me to meet people across very different circumstances without judgment. I earned my Master's in 2012 and have practiced ever since, with particular experience supporting women and the LGBTQIA+ and transgender community around identity, relationships, and self-worth.
Whatever brought you here, my aim is for you to feel understood from our very first conversation.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I bring a compassionate, understanding and results-driven approach to therapy. My education began at Chicago State University where I received bachelor's degree and Jane Addams College of Social Work where I received my masters. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, mood, and personality disorders with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll build practical tools and deeper insight so you can feel more in control and live your best life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Crystal Lake, Illinois
Searching for therapists in Crystal Lake starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Crystal Lake, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Illinois markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Illinois. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their profile describes their session style. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Crystal Lake can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see an estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm available coverage and see estimated costs for Crystal Lake.
