Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Anne provides a warm, deeply validating, and collaborative space dedicated to the unique emotional, physical, and psychological landscapes of women's mental health. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with women across the lifespan to dismantle the "invisible load," heal from self-doubt, and find a authentic voice in their relationships, careers, and personal lives.
Anne’s integrative approach is specifically attuned to how stress, trauma, and identity shifts uniquely manifest in women. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she offers alternative somatic tools to quiet a hyper-vigilant inner critic and process complex emotions. Whether you are navigating the profound identity shifts of the perinatal and motherhood journey (PMH-C), weathering professional burnout in a demanding field, coping with a chronic medical illness, or processing complex grief, Anne is dedicated to empowering you with practical coping strategies to reclaim your personal agency and well-being.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD

I provide a safe space for women to explore and address a wide range of challenges they may face, including gender discrimination, body image concerns, reproductive health issues, and relationship dynamics.

Additionally, I advocate for women's rights and empowerment, both within and outside the therapy room, while collaborating with other professionals and community resources to address systemic issues affecting women's well-being.

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Many women seek therapy under the crushing weight of expectations and the persistent feeling of “not good enough.” This can show up in relationships and friendships, caregiving and parenting roles, career and workplace stress, body image, healthcare experiences, finances, fertility and pregnancy, and the daily impact of sexism, discrimination, and unequal emotional labor. I help women explore what they’ve been carrying, reconnect with their needs, and untangle themselves from harmful conditioning and messaging. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-trust, stronger boundaries, and a more authentic life guided by your values.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The expectations are relentless. Be successful but not too ambitious. Be a good mother and a good partner and a good daughter and a good employee, and make it all look effortless. Your needs end up last, if they make the list at all. And when you struggle, you wonder what's wrong with you instead of questioning the impossible standards. We work with women navigating the particular pressures that come with being a woman in this world: identity and role transitions, relationship dynamics, body image, reproductive challenges, career and family tensions, and the simple exhaustion of doing too much for too long. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
