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.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I've devoted my career to helping people effectively manage anxiety. Most of the tools you will learn are quick and easy strategies that require very little time out of your busy schedule. You'll learn why your prior methods have failed and what to do differently.
A unique service I provide is allowing you to answer three pages of questions and anything else you want me to know, prior to our first session. I read that, write it on paper, sometimes research (e.g. medications or disease), such that I know you pretty well before we even meet. This gives us a great head start before we meet!

Dr. Nichole Vincent
Psychologist, PsyD
You’ve been pushing, pulling, and trying your damnedest to hold it all together. But let’s be real – deep down, you know something’s gotta give. Life wasn’t meant to feel this hard, this stuck, this… much.
And if you’re being honest? You’re SO over it.
Here’s the truth: you’re not broken. You’re navigating a world that doesn’t always make it easy to thrive. But that doesn’t mean you can’t reclaim your power, find your flow, and create a life that feels exactly right for YOU.
Let me guess…
• You’re caught in relationships that leave you feeling unseen, unheard, and unfulfilled.
• Your brain races at night like it’s training for a marathon – replaying every conversation, obsessing over
what you “should’ve” done, or worrying about what’s next.
• Your to-do list owns you. You make them, you lose them, and even when you cross things off, you still feel
like you’re falling short.
• Every day feels like you’re stuck on autopilot, and you can’t help but wonder: Is this it?
• You’re holding your sh*t together on the outside but are so effing drained on the inside.
• You thought you’d buried it, but those old painful memories still find ways to show up and shake your
foundation.
• You don’t let anyone in because you don’t want to “burden” them with your struggles.
What if it doesn’t have to be this way?
Therapy With Me Is More Than Just Talking – It’s About Transforming
I’m here to shake things up. To get to the root of what’s really holding you back – the stories, patterns and cycles that keep you stuck – and disrupt the sh*t out of them. To help you stop spinning your wheels and start moving toward a life that feels good.
You deserve a life that feels aligned with who you are – not just who you’re “supposed” to be. I’m here to help you:
• Finally figure out why you keep saying yes to less and start asking for (and getting) what you deserve.
• Turn off the mental replay and get the deep, restorative rest you’ve been craving.
• Stop letting your to-do list define your worth – and start finding joy in your days again.
• We’ll figure out what you really want and how to get it. Yes, even the big, scary, “am I allowed to want this?”
stuff.
• Heal the sh*t from your past so it doesn’t keep showing up in your present.
• You’ll feel free to show up fully as yourself. No more shrinking, silencing, or second-guessing.
You’re worthy of a life that feels spacious, joyful, and ease-filled – and I’m here to help you create it.
It’s Time to Step Into Your Mentally “Well-thy” Life
You’re not here to settle. You’re here to thrive. To rise. To reclaim what’s been waiting for you all along. And while this journey might feel scary, overwhelming, or even impossible right now, I promise you this: I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t leave you there.
I see you. I’ve got you. Let’s do this.

I offer online, evidence-based therapy for adults located in Illinois, Wisconsin and Florida. Conditions treated include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) & related disorders, such as anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, illness anxiety, and body-focused repetitive behaviors, or BFRBs - hair pulling/trichotillomania and skin picking/excoriation. I also work with athletes experiencing performance anxiety or coping with pressure in their sport. Sessions begin with a discussion of symptoms and a brief history, goal setting, and working together to develop strategies to make improvements important to you, emphasizing your values and goals to guide the process.

Dr. Brian M. Berman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Teletherapy, also known as online therapy or telehealth, offers numerous benefits and advantages for both therapists and clients. Teletherapy breaks down geographical barriers, allowing clients to access mental health services regardless of their location. This can be especially beneficial for individuals living in rural areas or areas with limited access to mental health resources. Teletherapy also offers convenience, as sessions can be conducted from the comfort of the client's home or any other location with internet access. This eliminates the need for travel time, transportation costs, and scheduling conflicts, making therapy more accessible and manageable for busy individuals.

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!

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.
