Manpreet Singh

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Savoy, IL


With over a decade of psychiatric nursing experience, I've built a practice around making people feel truly understood from the very first conversation. I'm fluent in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, and I've found that meeting someone in their first language changes everything about how safe they feel opening up. I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, and eating disorders, combining medication management with therapeutic support to care for the whole person. My practice is fully virtual, so you can access care from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

Angela Chapman

Angela Chapman

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Welcome! I’m Angela Chapman, and I’m here to support you on your journey!

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and supported can make a meaningful difference when life feels challenging. My goal is to create a comfortable, caring, and judgment-free space where you can feel safe to be yourself, share what’s on your mind, and take steps toward the life you want.

I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Saint Louis University and am licensed and certified in Illinois. I bring more than 25 years of experience as a School Social Worker, where I have had the opportunity to support children, adolescents, adults, and families through a variety of emotional, behavioral, social, and relationship challenges.

I believe that every person is unique, and therapy should be tailored to you—not the other way around. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, Behavioral Management Therapy, Parent Management Training, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. Together, we can find the approaches and strategies that best fit your needs, strengths, and goals.

I believe in meeting you where you are, listening without judgment, and helping you recognize the strengths you already have. Whether you’re working through a difficult transition, managing emotions or behaviors, navigating relationships, or simply looking for support and a better understanding of yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater confidence and hope. I look forward to getting to know you and being part of your journey.
