Dr. Lidia Michel

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Oak Brook, IL


I love helping both children and adults to cope better with stress, feel more hopeful about the future, and to process difficult moments from the past. Many of my clients have the goal to start living a life that aligns with their values; getting closer to what really matters to them. I see the goal of therapy as helping a client to live, work, learn, and play more freely. That might mean helping a child be brave enough to speak in front of their classmates or help an adult learn to set boundaries in their relationships.

I'm a lifelong learner who has many specialties, but my primary specialties would include Exposure and Response Prevention (Anxiety and OCD), Cognitive Processing Therapy (PTSD), ACT (Depression), Theraplay (children 0-5), treatments for neurodiverse peoples (ADHD and ASD), and Psychological Testing. I can also offer services in Spanish and English.

I appreciate the bravery it took to search for a therapist, and I hope I get the chance to help you and your family carve the next step forward. You are welcome to message me with questions or to set up a quick consult call to see what it'd be like to work with me. I guarantee I will respond to your inquiry within 2 business days.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Chicago

Looking for family therapists in Chicago starts with understanding what kind of support your family needs. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, mother-daughter counseling, and communication patterns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with your specific concerns, such as parenting therapy, family conflict, or parent-child relationships.

Chicago has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Loop, Lincoln Park, Pilsen, Hyde Park, and Rogers Park, which can make the search feel broad at first. In-person care may work well if you want an office near home, school, work, or transit. Virtual appointments can expand your options if coordinating schedules across multiple family members is the main concern. Session attendance may include the full family, parents only, siblings, or individual family members, so review therapist bios for details on structure, availability, consultation options, and approach before booking.

Family 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 understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, verify insurance, and see estimated costs before your first session. You can compare therapists by specialty, appointment format, availability, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
