Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
I'm an experienced therapist who is very passionate about working with women who are ready for something deeper than coping strategies — women who are willing to examine themselves honestly and are committed to meaningful, lasting change.
This work often focuses on life transitions, anxiety, identity evolution (self discovery and uncovering true self), enduring relationship patterns and trauma from invalidating relationships (complex or developmental trauma), and the deeper dynamics that shape fulfillment. Often, this manifests as persistent anxiety, restlessness, irritability, loneliness, or a subtle but steady feeling that something is missing- that life should feel more meaningful than it does.
I offer a warm, authentic, collaborative, and attuned space where you don’t have to hold it all together. In our work, we slow down to explore early relational templates, unconscious beliefs, and protective strategies that once served you but may now limit intimacy and growth.
In addition to talk therapy, I also offer ketamine assisted therapy Integration as appropriate, which may be a useful adjunct to deep, transformational work.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
I became a psychoanalytical therapist because I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and understanding. The profound impact of exploring the depths of the unconscious mind and uncovering the roots of one's thoughts and behaviors can lead to lasting change and emotional well-being. I chose psychoanalysis as my therapeutic approach because it provides a unique framework for delving into the complexities of the human psyche, offering individuals a profound opportunity for self-discovery and healing.
Psychoanalysis, with its emphasis on the unconscious mind, allows me to work with patients in a way that goes beyond surface-level symptoms, addressing the underlying causes of emotional struggles. I am passionate about providing a space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences in a deep and meaningful way, fostering insight and facilitating personal growth.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Life in recent times has required all of us to make adjustments and transition some parts of our lives to the virtual space. It makes sense that healthcare services accommodate the needs of people in this way to offer the opportunity for support from afar. As a result, a significant part of my practice over the past few years has been in the service of providing tele-therapy for those who reside within the states governed by PSYPACT. For more information about my availability, please feel free to contact me.
