The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.

Peter O'Brien

Therapist

Virtual • Maine


I work with adults who may appear to be managing life well but privately feel anxious, lonely, stuck in their relationships, or caught in patterns they understand intellectually but can't seem to change.

Originally trained as a psychologist in Australia, I bring nearly two decades of clinical experience to my work in the US. My style is warm, straightforward, and engaged—I won't simply sit back and nod.

You may be overthinking a relationship, adjusting to a loss or major life change, struggling with anxiety or OCD, or simply realizing that the way you've been coping isn't working anymore. Therapy can be a place to understand what's underneath those patterns—and begin changing them.

Jada Choate

Jada Choate

Therapist

Virtual • Maine


Hi, I’m Jada. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for adults across Illinois and Maine.

Many of the people I work with appear high functioning on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You might be navigating a life transition, relationship stress, identity questions, or a sense that something feels off even if it is hard to fully put into words.

I offer a space where you do not need to have everything figured out before you show up. We can slow things down together, make sense of what you are carrying, and begin to move toward something that feels more aligned.

I am especially drawn to working with clients around anxiety, identity, relationships, self trust, and life transitions, especially seasons that feel meaningful, uncertain, or hard to name. Much of my work lives in that space.

Outside of therapy, I spend time with my partner and our dog, Autumn, who brings joy, playfulness, and energy into my day and is a constant reminder not to take life too seriously.
