Getting care in Illinois
Illinois has sharp geographic disparities in behavioral health access, with downstate and rural counties far less well served than the Chicago area.
We see patients across Illinois by video — including Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, Rockford and Springfield, and every community in between. Because care is delivered remotely, where you live in Illinois makes no difference to whether you can be seen.
What we treat
- Depression and persistent low mood
- Anxiety, panic and health anxiety
- PTSD and trauma
- Bipolar disorder
- Sleep problems and insomnia
- Grief, burnout and life transitions
Therapy and medication in one place
Most people who need both end up with a therapist who cannot prescribe and a prescriber who has fifteen minutes and no context. The two rarely talk.
Here, therapy and medication management are available from the same board-certified psychiatric provider. If something is not working, that is one conversation.
Other care available in Illinois
One provider, so these are handled together rather than referred out.
