I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and accepted. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental, affirming, and culturally responsive space where clients can openly explore their experiences, challenges, and goals. I strive to meet each person with curiosity, compassion, and respect, recognizing that every individual’s story is unique.

I have experience working with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationships concerns, trauma and stress. also have a particular interest in supporting individuals impacted by adoption, as well as those navigating the emotional and lifestyle changes that can accompany bariatric surgery and other significant life transitions. I am committed to providing inclusive care that honors each client’s values, identities, and lived experiences.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of New England. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, bariatric journey, trauma, stress, or personal growth, I look forward to partnering with you to build insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

Great to meet you! I've been helping people sleep better since 2002. I'm a Licensed Psychologist (IL) and a Registered Sleep Technologist (RPSGT), specializing in therapy for insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.

Most of my clients have struggled with chronic or acute insomnia and feel stuck in the cycle — they've tried all the usual tips and tricks, but nothing seems to work. I take a thorough approach because easy fixes rarely solve sleep problems. I start by understanding everything that may be affecting your sleep, then build a plan around you — not a one-size-fits-all formula.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a CADC. Therapy is my second career—I retired from nursing after 30 years, and my work in mental health is the continuation of what I’ve always valued: helping people move from illness to wellness, with care, structure, and real support.

I graduated from George Williams College and continued my education through Aurora University to strengthen my clinical foundation. I’m also a certified grief professional counselor, and I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate loss, transitions, and the emotions that come with grief.

I recently received approval for my doctorate in theology, and I will be graduating in May. My approach honors your story and supports healing in a way that aligns with your values—whether you’re looking for faith-informed guidance or focused mental health support.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Saint Charles, IL

Finding therapists in Saint Charles starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches it. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. You may also want a therapist with experience in couples therapy, marriage counseling, or a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Reading therapist bios can help you see what each person focuses on, how they describe their style, and whether their background fits what you want to discuss.

Saint Charles is a smaller market, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger parts of Illinois. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Illinois. As you compare St. Charles therapists, consider practical fit as well as clinical fit: appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A profile can also show whether a therapist works with individuals, couples, families, or people looking for faith-informed care, such as Christian counseling.

Therapy in Saint Charles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare virtual or in-person availability in one place. You can browse profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
