Hi! My name is Stephanie Harris and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor from Vermont, but currently living in Chicago. I am happy to help you with whatever you are facing in life right now. I work with individual adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, abuse, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and more. I have specialized training in helping people recover from trauma. Trauma can have a profound effect on how people view the world and relate to others, which is why a trauma-informed approach to treatment can be very helpful. I will help people heal from their painful and distressing experiences so they are able to feel more safe and secure in the world now. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, and a Doctorate in Psychology from Roosevelt University. I have experience working in private practice, crisis centers, in-patient hospitals, employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, and primary care clinics. I have worked with adults, couples, people with developmental disabilities, survivors of sexual abuse, people of the Latinx population, couples with infertility issues, and people facing deportation. I believe these experiences have helped me find multiple ways to connect with others and help them reach their goals.

Hi, I’m E. C. Kissner — and if you’re someone who feels accomplished on the outside but stretched thin on the inside, you’re in the right place. Many of the people I work with are navigating burnout, transitions, stress, uncertainty about next steps, or a sense that life’s moving faster than they can keep up with. You want clarity, balance, and a way to turn insight into real-world change, and you want a space that meets you where you are — respectful of your identity, your experiences, and your goals.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Chicago

Finding OCD therapists in Chicago starts with looking for care that matches the way obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up for you. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, compulsive rituals, or symptoms sometimes called Pure O. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. As you compare profiles, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP therapy, or experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts in their specialties or bio.

Chicago has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Loop, Lakeview, Logan Square, Hyde Park, and the West Side, which can make it harder to narrow your options. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may differ from one who has specific ERP training, so review profiles for details about approach, session structure, and experience with OCD treatments for adults. Consider practical fit, too: office location, transit access, appointment availability, virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is offered can help you decide who fits your schedule and preferences.

Therapy in Chicago can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage in Chicago. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then browse bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
