Emily E. Smith

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, CADC, BC-DMT
I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist/counselor. I enjoy using a positive psychology approach to help motivate my clients to make lasting emotional and behavioral changes. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process - we will work on treatment goals that we define together! I encourage my clients to trust their own process, engage in self-acceptance to promote an improved sense of self-worth. I like to integrate strategies including mindfulness and cognitive/behavioral approaches to improve coping and emotional regulation skills. I believe that helping individuals develop insight into emotional and relationship patterns is a key component of therapy.

Due to childhood trauma and illnesses, I searched beyond conventional medicine for a method that would lead to the deepest, most fulfilling healing possible. After years of study, I adapted these methods from eastern and western traditions that have become central to my work with my clients. Believing that these concepts of health can benefit all people, I have dedicated my life to the practices of these philosophies.” Mari is well known in the eating disorder community for her work in enhancing recovery for those suffering from mental and physical ailments. Dr. Mari’s specialties are eating disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, depression, stress management, chronic pain, and body illnesses due to physical and mental health issues. Mari's background includes Body Centered Psychotherapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT, Body Therapies ( Zen Shiatsu and Trauma- Informed Body Mind Acupressure), Yoga Psychology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Mari along with her daughter, Meghann Richko LCPC, CYT, a psychotherapist and yoga therapist, created "YogaTalk" group therapy for those in recovery and imbalances due to emotional and/or physical issues. Dr. Mari's professional engagements include lecturing on the combination of Psychotherapy and Chinese Medicine as an educational tool for recovery along with the need for yoga therapeutics as an adjunct therapy in recovery. She teaches workshops on applying these philosophies to our everyday life. She has lectured for IFS Conferences (Internal Family Systems), Richard Schwartz, Ph.D on combining IFS parts work with The Five Elements of Chinese Medicine. Her other engagements are public speaking on alternative approaches to wellness, educator on women's issues, educator for bodyworkers on chronic illness and cancer, speaker on radio talk shows on home birthing with Mayer Eisenstein, M.D., assisting pregnancies and birthing using Body Therapies. She held a position on the advisory board of directors for InNetwork, an exclusive membership group of integrative healthcare professionals whose main goal was to make complementary alternative medicine better understood and to inspire the public to use prevention medicine. “I believe as therapists that it is necessary to use compassion, cultivate mindfulness, and wisdom in our approach to empowering individuals to progress towards improved health and well- being and that it is imperative to develop some sort of spiritual practice in life to transform and fully heal. I believe a truly optimum treatment program relies on the awareness of the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of who we are in the world, what parts of us are in alignment with our purpose and those that are not. It is my passion to integrate these components while working with my clients. This integration and personal spiritual practice includes our work in the world, our love, our families, and our understanding of mind/ body/spirit. My love of eastern philosophy, body therapies and yoga as a vehicles towards a healthy life have always been a large part of my own practice in the world and as a practitioner of psychotherapy and body therapy.” “With direction, encouragement, and support, I would be honored assist you in finding a deeper sense of "Self" and a deeper connection with your Body/Mind. My vision for you is health, happiness, and longevity, with the most fulfilling and enduring healing process possible. For you to discover that this source is already within you."

Chicago ADHD Associates

Psychologist, PhD
Do you ever feel like you're constantly battling to focus? Does getting sidetracked on a regular basis make it difficult to stay productive and organized, despite your best efforts? These challenges can be frustrating and can significantly impact your daily life. If you find yourself relating to these experiences, you may be one of the estimated 5% of the population who lives with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Far more than simply having trouble concentrating, ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can present significant challenges across various aspects of life. People with ADHD may struggle in work or academic settings due to difficulties with focus, organization, and time management. The impact of ADHD can also extend to personal relationships, as inattention and impulsivity can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or frustration for both the person with ADHD and their loved ones. Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD is the first step towards getting the support and resources you need. We have current availability and openings to provide ADHD testing, psychotherapy, and coaching.
