With more than 30 years of experience, I've helped individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions with compassion, understanding, and practical support.

I know reaching out for help isn't always easy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward greater confidence, healing, and peace of mind.

Carrying old pain quietly, or staying so busy you never have to feel it, can seem like the safer choice, until it starts costing more than it protects. I’m Angela Perkinson, a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and registered art therapist based in Illinois, seeing clients by telehealth across the state. I work with teens, adults, and seniors carrying trauma, depression, anxiety, panic, grief, or substance use, and I meet each person where they are rather than where they think they should be. Many clients come in exhausted from holding everything together alone. My goal is to help you feel steadier and less alone with what you’re carrying. I’d welcome the chance to help you get there.

I'm Jim Veltman, and I've been doing this work for over 40 years. I love helping people grow and I believe deep healing from inner wounds is possible. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Grayslake, Illinois. I see clients in person, and I work with clients across the state through telehealth. I see adults, teens, and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the complicated weight of struggling relationships. My background is grounded in both psychological training and a belief that healing isn't just clinical — it's deeply human, and often spiritual. If faith is part of your life, that's welcome here. If it's not, that's completely fine too. What matters is that we do honest, real work together.

Sometimes the hardest part of a life transition is figuring out who you are in the middle of it. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, family changes, and the major transitions that can reshape how you see yourself. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I also understand how culture, family, and identity can shape our experiences. Whether you're raising children, entering midlife, becoming an empty nester, or simply feeling ready for something to change, you don't have to navigate it alone.

A veces, la parte más difícil de una transición en la vida es descubrir quién eres en medio de ella. Trabajo con adultos que están atravesando experiencias de trauma, ansiedad, depresión, dificultades en sus relaciones, cambios familiares y grandes transiciones de vida que pueden transformar la manera en que se ven a sí mismos.

Como terapeuta bilingüe y bicultural, también comprendo cómo la cultura, la familia y la identidad pueden influir en nuestras experiencias. Ya sea que estés criando hijos, entrando en una nueva etapa de la vida, adaptándote a que tus hijos se hayan ido de casa o simplemente sintiendo que ha llegado el momento de hacer un cambio, no tienes que atravesar este proceso a solas.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to create hope and help people to realize that together we can overcome whatever struggles they are facing. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I have been a nurse for 27 years, and I strive to show compassion and understanding to everyone who needs help.

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.
