Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Downers Grove, IL

I’m Aiden, a Licensed Clinical Social worker that is specialize in trauma informed care and LGBTQIA affirming therapy. My clients would say that I am a warm and down-to-earth therapist that affirms and gives space for you to be yourself.

As a clinical therapist with nearly a decade of experience I can truly say people can change their lives by coming to therapy. The therapist can be their guide or mentor to that change. My main area of focus these days is helping clients ages 10-30 with clinical treatment for ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, and Depression. I also focus on working with athletes and helping them manage the demands of performance.

I have a fundamental belief in the transformative power of therapy. I come to this belief not just as a practicing therapist but as someone who was profoundly shaped by therapy as a young man. Having started my own journey with doubt and hesitation, I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this work. Talking about therapy can feel tricky as jargon and platitudes often dominate the conversation. What I can say is this: I believe in your capacity—within a therapeutic relationship that intuitively feels right to you—to become a better version of yourself defined on your own terms.

I have a doctorate degree in nursing from Maryville University St Louis, Missouri. I have clinical experience in mental health services of over ten years. I excel in psychiatric evaluation and medication management,enhancing patient well-being through expert care and cultural competent practices.
