Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Skokie, IL

Welcome!

Life is not always easy. For some, perhaps it never has been. In times of struggle and transition having a compassionate, competent therapist can be immensely beneficial. Whether needing support, processing grief, working through trauma or any number of other life stressors I will be present to assist you in making lasting change. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years' experience. I would love to assist you in making positive changes in your life.

Life can feel like a lot sometimes, whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, addiction, or the emotional weight of caring for a loved one. Maybe things feel tangled, or you're used to being the strong one for everyone else. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I want to understand your story, what’s been heavy lately, and what you’re hoping will feel different. Together, we can begin to make sense of it all and help you feel more steady, supported, and like yourself again.

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.

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.

Hi! I'm Abraham, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive mental health care to adults, children, and seniors in Illinois. I specialize in medication management for conditions like anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and psychosis, and I bring a holistic perspective that also addresses sleep, substance use, and eating concerns. My goal is simple: to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered on your path to emotional well-being.

My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner wasn't just a career choice; it was a personal mission. After watching a loved one navigate the complexities of mental health, I realized how much the right support—or the lack of it—can change the trajectory of a life. Because of this, I’m not just focused on symptoms; I’m focused on you.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and neurocognitive disorders, providing telehealth care throughout Illinois. I take great pride in my ability to break down complex clinical terms into understandable language, ensuring you never feel left in the dark about your own brain. When I'm not in the "office," I’m usually staying active, cooking, or listening to an educational podcast to stay sharp on the latest in wellness.

I'm Gifty Danso, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, and since then, I've worked across a range of settings — inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and correctional facilities. That variety has given me a real appreciation for meeting people wherever they are in life. Over the years, I've supported adolescents, adults, and older adults dealing with everything from depression and anxiety to addiction and psychosis.

Hello, I’m Sherri Larson, an LCPC who is passionate about helping people feel grounded, understood, and supported. I’ve worked with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties, and I value the resilience people bring to therapy.
