Orli Firestein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you struggling to connect with others or feel alone? Perhaps this leads to frustration or alienation. Or maybe you find yourself frequently putting others' needs above your own, to the point where you feel run-down and emotionally exhausted. You may be facing a major life change or decision, either for yourself or for your family. In these situations, it can be challenging to tap into your own thoughts or cope with overwhelming emotions.

Christina Shore Best Therapies Inc.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, DMT
As a trauma informed practitioner I know that it is essential that each individual locate their own unique path towards healing and integration. It requires a lot of work to explore the relationship between inner sensations, emotions, thoughts, and actions. Even bringing awareness to this can be life altering so building resources and self-compassion can be an important foundation to work from. I let the client lead, as you are the expert on yourself, while I provide support, guidance, and reflection so that the therapeutic container can be sturdy enough to lean on and to build trust within.

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.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many women find themselves struggling in their relationships with others and themselves.
You may find yourself working so hard to please everyone else that you lose sight of what you want and need. You also may find yourself stuck in the same dating or relationship patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and unsatisfied.
As a result, you may struggle to feel fully present in your life or feel like you’re repeating past patterns in your dating life, relationships, and daily life. You may start to second guess yourself or focus on what others think instead of what you feel is right for you.
These patterns may leave you feeling “not good enough” and wondering if you’ll ever figure out how to live the life you desire.
Fortunately, you can overcome these challenges to create lasting, healthy, and fulfilling connections with yourself and others with therapy that’s designed to meet your unique needs.
