I help individuals gain a clearer understanding of their mental health through comprehensive evaluations.
Using clinical diagnostic tools, I evaluate presenting symptoms and provide accurate diagnoses. I gather detailed background information and use evidence-based diagnostic methods to determine the most clinically appropriate diagnosis. During the assessment process, I draw from structured interviews, standardized measures, and clinical observation to gain a comprehensive understanding of each individual’s emotional, behavioral, and psychological functioning. Once the diagnostic evaluation is complete, I provide appropriate referrals tailored to each client’s needs—whether that includes specialized therapy/treatment, psychiatry for medication management/evaluation, or other supportive services.

Hi! My name is Helen Roberts, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa.

We can change the direction of your life right now and give you hope and power again!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Chicago
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.
