Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Oak Park, IL

If you're an adult navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship stress — and maybe feeling like

no one quite understands where you're coming from — you're in the right place. I've been

practicing for 15 years across community and clinical settings, working with adults and older

adults on mood, relationships, and the weight of everyday life. I'm bilingual in English and

Spanish, and having lived abroad myself, I genuinely enjoy working with people from a wide

range of cultural backgrounds. You don't have to explain your world to me — I'm here to

understand it.

Hello! I’m Stephanie Darche, MA, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor(LCPC). My therapeutic style is empowering, nonjudgmental, warm, genuine and down to earth.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have experience in working with clients with concerns related to anxiety, depression, parenting, family conflict, communication, LGBTQI+, child/adolescent adjustment, behavior and mood disorders, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, ADHD, self-esteem, and life transitions.

If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, grief, or anxiety for longer than you can remember, you're not alone.

I've spent 12 years as a licensed counselor in Chicago working with people of all ages, from young children to seniors. What keeps me in this work is the moment a client realizes they've been surviving something hard, and that there's a different way forward.

I have a particular passion for working with mothers navigating postpartum struggles, families dealing with grief and loss, and adults working through trauma and PTSD. Many of my clients were looking for someone who would be real with them, not just professional. That's what you'll find here.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who believes that true and lasting healing happens when we treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—not just symptoms. I approach each patient with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect, ensuring you feel empowered to explore your healing journey in a safe and supportive space.

Hi! I am so proud of you for taking this big step. It is not easy to start therapy, but when you have someone walking next to you and supporting you, it can feel less overwhelming. I have six years of clinical experience with people of all ages dealing with a wide range of mental health issues. My experience includes play therapy, anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment disorders.

Jennifer Is a licensed clinical psychologist who has been working in the field of trauma and psychotherapy for over 20 years. In the past few years, she has added the focus of mental health and integrative medicine, incorporating more mind and body focused approaches to treatment. Additionally, Jennifer offers Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), psychedelic preparation and harm reduction support, and psychedelic integration.

Choosing the right therapist is an important step, and I'd like to share a little about the clients I serve to help you decide whether we'd be a good fit. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are navigating challenges in their relationships. Whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or even your relationship with yourself, our connections often have a significant impact on how we think, feel, and move through the world. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy are rooted in feeling disconnected, hurt, or stuck in repeating patterns, and I find it meaningful to help clients create healthier relationships. My own journey has required grit, resilience, and the willingness to rise again and again, and those experiences shape the way I sit with others in their pain, their uncertainty, and their becoming.
