Stress
Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Modern life is full—often too full. Between work, relationships, family, health, and the constant buzz of the world around us, stress can pile up until you’re running on fumes and wondering how much longer you can keep juggling everything.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in constant “go” mode, you're not alone—and you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it. With nearly two decades of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help clients untangle the roots of their stress and find tools that actually work (and are sustainable, not just “take a bubble bath and hope for the best”).
I use a mix of mindfulness-based strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Polyvagal Theory, and compassion-focused approaches to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect to what truly matters. Together, we’ll shift from just surviving to building a more grounded, intentional way of living—even when life is demanding.
You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to need support. And yes, you’re allowed to put yourself on your own to-do list.

Together, we’ll create space for you to feel more balanced, present, and in control again. You don’t have to carry it all alone

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress touches every part of life, and it can leave you feeling wired, exhausted, and like you’re never really off-duty. In our work together, we slow down and listen to the “parts” of you that are overworking, worrying, caregiving, or bracing for the next crisis, using Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and somatic presence to help your body and mind come out of constant fight‑or‑flight. As you learn to recognize your limits, honor your needs, and soften long‑held patterns, stress becomes more manageable, and you can experience more ease, clarity, and moments of real rest in your everyday life.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You're holding too much. Work demands that never let up. Family responsibilities pulling you in multiple directions. The mental load of keeping everything running while trying to also take care of yourself, which keeps falling to the bottom of the list. You're not lazy. You're not failing. You're overwhelmed by a pace that isn't sustainable, and your body and mind are telling you something has to give. We help you identify what's actually driving the stress, where you have more control than you think, and how to build a life that doesn't require you to run on empty. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I know from experience the toll that stress and burnout can take on your well-being, and how difficult it can be to even imagine realistic change. If you're feeling burned out, we'll take a step back and look at your values - the important parts of your life that bring you meaning. Then we'll examine where there might be a mismatch and find areas where there might be potential for change. This could involve increasing your engagement in other activities that fulfill you, removing yourself from a situation or environment that depletes you, strategically engaging with your support network, or other strategies that fit your personal experience. I don't take big decisions lightly, and if considering a major change we'll check in throughout to ensure the steps you're taking are value-consistent and take into account the full context of your needs.

Stress
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful:
Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress.
With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.

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.
