Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I love helping my clients address issues with sleep, anxiety, mood, and past traumatic experiences. For me, helping others as a psychologist is a true passion. When appropriate, I use evidence-based therapy, which has clinical research supporting its effectiveness. I routinely offer couples and grief counseling. I've been told by my clients that I clearly take my job seriously and prepare well for sessions, always eager to bring them the relief that they're seeking in a thoughtful and targeted way. I don't stretch treatment out any longer than needed. As far as my unique characteristics as a therapist, I believe that humor plays an important role in treatment, and that therapists who are willing to be self-disclosing and genuine develop stronger, more meaningful connections with their clients. I see therapy as a very personal process -- far more so than other types of health visits -- and that forming a real relationship is a key component of mental health treatment. I find that one definite benefit of such a relationship is that I'm able to offer my clients truthful, direct feedback, as they always know that any challenging remarks are coming from a caring and compassionate place. Along these lines, I belief that it's a therapist's job to routinely encourage their clients to push beyond their comfort zones and make bold changes.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
It takes courage to change, especially when you feel stuck with painful and confusing thoughts and feelings. You may find yourself struggling to change self-defeating behaviors and frustrated you can’t find relief. Psychotherapy can help you get unstuck. As we explore what is bothering you, you develop a deeper understanding of what is keeping you stuck and use that understanding to work toward living a more fulfilling life.
Psychotherapy is a process for better understanding ourselves, especially our automatic, often hidden, and sometimes contradictory motivations, feelings, and desires. If you’re interested in understanding and addressing the psychological factors underlying your concerns in life, I might be a good fit for you. Please take a look at my website and contact me to schedule a free phone consultation.

As a Certified Alcohol Drug Counselor and Trauma-informed Clinician, I, Rick, am committed to providing an authentic and empathetic approach to my clients. With my licensure in Indiana and Illinois, I offer virtual sessions to clients across the globe, ensuring accessibility and convenience.
My journey as a yoga instructor and veteran has given me a deep understanding of trauma and addiction management, enabling me to connect with clients on a profound level. I am trained in ACT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, TF-CBT, and Mindfulness, allowing me to tailor my therapeutic approach to each individual's unique needs.
Having completed Dr. Karyl McBride's WIEBGE therapist training, I specialize in helping adult children of narcissistic parents. My presence on the WIEBGE therapist registry is a testament to my dedication to this specific area of expertise.
In my practice, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their challenges and embark on a transformative journey towards healing and growth. With compassion and understanding, I aim to empower individuals to overcome their obstacles and embrace a brighter future.
