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.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is challenging. All of us will deal with difficulty at some point in our lives, and many of us will face repeated struggles. We have a hand in some of these troubles and others we have no control over. But we always have control over how we interpret events, how we relate to them, how we make sense of them, and what we do as a result. There is validity in whatever way we view our situation, but as a starting place, not the only place, and we can move through and beyond into a clearing of many more and better possibilities.
I have many tools and techniques and strategies to shift perspective from deeply painful to healing and expansion. Despite how vulnerable we are in life, there is also a great deal of thriving that is available to us - when we know how to harness it.

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.

Polaris Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Welcome to Polaris Counseling! We are a group practice consisting of licensed counselors and social workers. Our mission is to provide high quality counseling services to individuals, couples and families in a professional, non-judgmental, supportive and friendly environment at an affordable cost to you.
Incorporated in 2005, Polaris started out as a consulting agency specializing in helping parents secure federal and state funding for their children struggling with severe mental health issues and developmental disabilities. The necessity for a more holistic approach to our services soon became evident and we began to provide ongoing counseling support to our clients to supplement our consulting and advocacy services. By the beginning of 2006, the demand for our counseling services increased dramatically and we slowly phased out our consulting services and became solely a counseling-based practice.
Since then, we have helped thousands of clients reach their treatment goals! We strive to make every client feel welcome, respected and safe while in treatment with us and give one hundred and ten percent of our energy in helping you navigate your way through treatment successfully. Our compassionate, hardworking approach to counseling has become our trademark.

Dr. Ruth Viehoff
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP
Hello, I'm Dr. Ruth Viehoff, and it's a pleasure to virtually meet you. I specialize in working with anxious overachievers, perfectionists, and adults with ADHD. My clients are often worriers and people who struggle to meet their own exacting standards, even though to an outsider's view, they may appear to have it all together. Often my clients are so concerned and caring towards others, but can struggle to care for themselves and advocate for their own needs. In therapy, we work to introduce self-compassion and shift personal standards that may get in the way of enjoying your life. While I'm physically located in Indianapolis, IN, the majority of my clients see me virtually. Whether you live in Indiana, New York, Massachusetts, or a participating Psypact state, I'd love to connect with you and help you to live a more authentic, embodied, and joyful life. Reach out to me today to book a free consultation call!

Jaylan Abd Elrahman
Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills into their day to day and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels liberating, life-affirming, and meaningful.
My goal is to offer a space that feels collaborative, creative and deeply human- a space where your story is met with curiosity, compassion and trust. My work is guided by Humanistic and Relational Cultural approaches, shining light on and engaging the unique wisdom you already come with and paying close attention to the cultural, racial and systemic forces that shape all our lived experiences. Our sessions might integrate story sharing, trauma processing, skill building, mindfulness and somatic practices, and expressive arts, depending on what feels most supportive to you week to week. I hope that clients experience therapy as venues for personal transformation that offer relief, clarity, levity and empowerment.
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach at several Chicago-area universities and have spent over a decade developing healing-centered programs for migrant youth and women of color in community-based settings. These experiences continue to inform my deep respect for various cultural and ancestral modalities of healing, as well as an appreciation for the many ways people continue to dream new lives into reality!
If you’re seeking a therapist who approaches this process with humility, warmth, humor and a sincere commitment in your growth, I would be eager to connect with you!

Our work together will focus on evidence-based strategies to calm your mind, manage stress, increase confidence, improve relationships, and start living a life that’s aligned with your values.
