Counseling for Anxiety & Depression in Illinois

Online sessions for women in Chicago and across IL

You’ve been through too much by yourself.

That’s how people know you: strong, determined, ambitious. But behind the mask you wear, you doubt if any of that is really true. When you look in the mirror, all you see is disappointment.

Everyone in your life relies on you in some way, and that’s how it’s always been. Lately, though, the pressure is really getting to you. There’s never enough of anything — time, money, energy, reciprocation. You’re exhausted and feel like you’re just surviving from one day to the next. The fear of letting people down keeps you pushing forward, but you lie awake at night wondering if the dreams you had for your life are long gone. 

In the little amount of free time you do have these days, you’re drinking or smoking more and talking to God less than ever. 

Know this:

You can be seen, heard, and loved.

You’re probably used to bending over backward to meet people’s expectations. Now it’s time to be there for the person who needs you most: you.

Life doesn’t look how you want it to, you know that much. But even if someone did ask what you need to feel better, you’re not sure you’d know what to say. The feelings of hopelessness and loneliness that find you in quiet moments aren’t because you’re broken. They’re because you were never meant to walk through life suffering in silence, and you deserve to feel understood and cared for.

The fact that you’re here means you’re ready to heal.

Let’s start down a new path, together.

In therapy with us, you will… 

  • With your therapist there to support you from start to finish, you’ll explore your early life experiences and begin to understand how they impact your life now. You’ll finally be able to be yourself without fear of judgment, and your therapist will provide the affirmation you’ll need to move forward with confidence.

  • You’ll learn how to define your boundaries and communicate them to the people around you. Through your sessions, you’ll get clear on what you need and want out of your relationships and your life. Then, you’ll practice making choices every day that reflect your core values and bring you closer to the fulfillment you’ve always wanted.

  • Through therapy, you’ll have the tools to move through difficult emotions and shame, and you’ll no longer feel alone on this journey. You’ll be able to nurture your own needs and navigate life’s challenges with more ease. As you foster a deeper connection with yourself, you can rediscover your faith and foster a deeper connection with God, which will empower you to finally chase your dreams.

When you look back, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to grant yourself the gift of grace and compassion. But, moving forward, the future looks bright and there’s no doubt you’ll be able to thrive.

Common questions about anxiety & depression therapy

  • Anxiety is a natural human emotion often characterized by worry, fear, or unease. It's a feeling that everyone experiences at times, but when it becomes overwhelming and affects your daily life, it may be considered an anxiety disorder.

  • Description text goes here
  • Yes, anxiety can cause physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, nausea, and digestive issues. Our minds and bodies are interconnected, and stress and anxiety can absolutely manifest physically.

  • While depression can be treated and managed well through therapy and lifestyle changes, the idea of a "cure" can vary from person to person. That being said, many experience fewer or less intense symptoms through seeking support in therapy.

  • Our approach to supporting clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression is unique and personalized to each individual. Our sessions are not the typical therapist-listens-and-nods kind. Instead, they are filled with self-discovery and genuine connection.

    We aim to create a safe space where you can express yourself without judgment or shame. You can come as you are, even if you’re in pajamas or eating a meal during our sessions.
