I personally know what it is like to struggle with anxiety and despair. I also know what it is like to go to therapy and to get little benefit from it. Many years ago, my emotional life changed dramatically when I stumbled onto resources that addressed my actual needs, and subsequently I devoted myself to a career promoting better mental health practices than I was taught when I was young.

Simply put, I teach people six interrelated psychological skills that you can use to transform your life. If all you want to do is explore the past, I'm not your best option - I focus on the past only enough to get us moving toward the future you want. I love to help people develop psychological superpowers that they can use to get the life they always hoped for, starting from where they are now and moving forward into a future they find worthwhile.

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 a Therapist in Illinois

Finding the right therapist in Illinois starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Illinois therapists on Headway hold credentials such as LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, and PsyD, and many are trained in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.

With providers available across the state — in the Chicago metro, suburbs, downstate communities, and through virtual sessions — you can prioritize what matters most to you, whether that's a provider near your neighborhood, a specific therapy style, or evening and weekend availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Illinois can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can move from searching to booking in minutes.
