Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Thanks for stopping to look at my page! I am a licensed psychologist who loves to work with clients who are working through life changes, who’ve experienced painful past experiences in family and relationships, issues related to identity, traumatic experiences, career and work issues, anxiety and depression, relationship experiences among monogamous, poly/ENM/CNM people, LGBTQIA+ clients. For both those who are new to therapy, and those who've had lots of experience, I try to build a supportive, respectful, and compassionate environment where we have the opportunity to explore solutions to problems as they uniquely impact your life.

Dr. Kahina Beasley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Let’s work together on finding solutions for your life. When we run into challenges, it can be so tough to figure out the best plan to move forward. Sometimes we just need that extra boost or coping strategy to get where we want to be. Through therapy, I provide my clients with tools to cope effectively when adjusting to these life hurdles or changes. I help you find strengths you may not realize you have, by tapping into what you may be unable to see during your time of stress, depression, or anxiety. Together, we'll collaborate to determine what steps would work best for you to come out of your life transition feeling empowered and psychologically healthy. My therapy model is short-term and solutions-focused, aimed at reaching steps toward your goals as soon as possible to begin finally feeling like your best self again.
Separate from therapy, I also specialize in psychological assessments for children and adults. Testing is typically for school-based concerns, such as learning disabilities, behavior challenges, ADHD, or gifted eligibility. My reports help as needed for clients to receive accommodations in class/standardized exams and meet their life goals.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel peaceful and content, but instead you find yourself feeling: overwhelmed by stress, totally burned out, or even debilitated by anxiety. It’s been hard for you to manage the emotional toll of constant and often unrealistic demands. You can rarely find a moment to stop and catch your breath. Each day feels like you are being stretched a bit thinner and you wonder how much you have left to give. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus and I help ambitious women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Fatma Aydin, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It is often difficult to ask for support in the face of life’s challenges, and I appreciate you taking this step! I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and identity and self-esteem concerns, among others. My goal is to create a comfortable and safe space where we work collaboratively to help you face those challenges and make the changes you desire to live a more fulfilling life. We all have vulnerabilities, and strengths we often don’t realize. I therefore work with my clients to build on their strengths and resilience, and develop self-compassion.
I recognize the impact of culture on our identities and experiences and I have enjoyed working with clients from diverse backgrounds at outpatient, community mental health, and university counseling settings. These included the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Northwestern University, DePaul University and University of Illinois at Chicago.
I welcome clients from all walks of life and feel humbled by their willingness to invite me to be a part of their journey.
