Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Couples often get stuck in patterns shaped by power dynamics, communication habits, or unspoken expectations. I work with partners to explore these dynamics, improve understanding and emotional connection, and develop practical skills for conflict resolution, communication, and fair division of labor. My approach emphasizes accountability, mutual growth, and building a partnership that reflects both partners’ needs and values.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—people‑pleasing, conflict avoidance, repeating the same dynamics, or feeling unseen and alone even when partnered. As you grow more connected to your own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom, you can begin to create relationships that feel safer, more reciprocal, and deeply nourishing.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You keep having the same fight with different words. Or you've stopped fighting altogether, not because things are better but because you've stopped trying. The distance between you has grown so gradually you're not sure when it started, only that it's there now, undeniable. Our clinicians are trained in the Gottman Method, the most researched approach to couples therapy available. We help you identify the patterns that are eroding your connection and give you real tools to repair them. This isn't about venting at each other with a referee in the room. It's about learning to turn toward each other again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Relationships are some of the most rewarding parts of life—but they can also bring stress, frustration, and conflict. I specialize in helping couples and partners navigate challenges such as communication difficulties, trust issues, emotional disconnection, infidelity, and differing values or expectations.
In therapy, couples gain a safe, structured space to explore underlying dynamics, improve understanding, and develop skills for healthy communication and problem-solving. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, helping partners identify negative interaction patterns, manage emotional reactivity, and create new ways of relating that foster connection, empathy, and mutual respect.
Whether you are looking to repair a struggling relationship, navigate major life transitions together, or strengthen an already healthy partnership, therapy focuses on both insight and action—teaching practical strategies that partners can implement in daily life. I also support blended families, co-parenting couples, and couples navigating significant stressors such as relocation, career changes, or family illness.
My goal is to help couples build resilience, deepen intimacy, and create a relationship foundation that is not only functional but also fulfilling.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with couples at all stages of their relationships, from those looking to deepen connection to those navigating significant strain or considering major decisions about the future. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and profoundly challenging, and many couples find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or recurring conflict.
My approach is active, direct, and grounded in helping both partners better understand not only each other, but their own contributions to the dynamic. I focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering greater emotional awareness and accountability within the relationship.
I also draw from structured approaches, including discernment counseling when one partner feels uncertain about whether to stay or leave, creating space for thoughtful, intentional decision-making.
The goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help couples build more meaningful, resilient, and satisfying ways of relating—whether that leads to strengthening the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The main reason why I've become a Marriage and Family Therapist is due to my passion in helping relationships. It's really easy to misconstrue and also be misunderstood by others, and so it's helpful to have someone help interpret and draw out what's really being communicated.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Even when I treat individuals, so often we end up doing a form of relationship counseling, because we ARE our relationships. The people in our life affect us, and learning how to set boundaries and communicate differently is always a part of my treatment. Of course, this is easier when I get to work with both members of a couple (or family), in that I can then "hear both sides of the story." I am able to "speak" both male and female languages, so I find I can aid in translating and getting everyone to feel heard. (As a male therapist, this defuses some of the hesitation many male partners have about approaching therapy).

Highly focused on both the individual in the marriage and the unit as a separate entity.

Chicago's size and diversity mean therapists here cover an exceptionally wide range of specialties, with strong representation in trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural identity work across the city's distinct neighborhoods. The South and West Sides experience community-level trauma tied to violence and systemic inequity, driving particular demand for therapists who specialize in PTSD, grief, and resilience-focused work. The city is home to Rush University Medical Center, Northwestern Medicine, and the University of Chicago Medicine, with a large independent practice community concentrated in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and the Loop. Chicago also has robust bilingual therapy communities serving its large Spanish-speaking, Polish, and Mandarin-speaking populations.
