Are you tired of carrying things that are just too heavy for you to carry alone anymore? As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you carry that load. In my 12 years as a counselor, I've worked with families, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in homes, outpatient offices, and online. I have a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, and have taught in graduate counseling programs, but my first love is working directly with individuals who are dealing with the effects of trauma, grief, burnout, or anxiety. I am a Christian and would be happy to incorporate your spiritual beliefs, whether Christian or not, into our work together, if desired.
College and early adulthood can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I work with college students and young adults who are navigating academic pressure, shifting friendships, family expectations, dating, and big life decisions. You might look like you’re managing it all, but inside you feel anxious, unsure of yourself, or constantly comparing where you are to everyone else. Whether you’re struggling with burnout, identity questions, or just trying to figure out your next step, therapy can be a place to slow down and actually breathe.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Chicago, IL
Searching for couples therapists in Chicago starts with naming what you and your partner want support with. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. If you’re comparing options for Chicago couples counseling, relationship counseling in Chicago, or marriage counseling Chicago, look for a therapist with training that matches your needs. Some therapists are licensed marriage and family therapists, while others list specific couples approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bios.
In a large city like Chicago, having many options can make the search harder to narrow. Location may matter if you want in-person sessions near the Loop, Lakeview, Hyde Park, or another neighborhood that fits your commute. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a time that works for both partners. As you compare therapists, check availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each profile can help you understand how the therapist works with couples and whether their style fits what both partners are looking for.
Couples therapy in Chicago can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who offer in-network couples therapy, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for format, schedule, and approach. You can browse profiles, review insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
