Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of both Florida and Alabama. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

Chicago ADHD Associates
Psychologist, PhD
Do you ever feel like you're constantly battling to focus? Does getting sidetracked on a regular basis make it difficult to stay productive and organized, despite your best efforts? These challenges can be frustrating and can significantly impact your daily life. If you find yourself relating to these experiences, you may be one of the estimated 5% of the population who lives with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Far more than simply having trouble concentrating, ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can present significant challenges across various aspects of life. People with ADHD may struggle in work or academic settings due to difficulties with focus, organization, and time management. The impact of ADHD can also extend to personal relationships, as inattention and impulsivity can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or frustration for both the person with ADHD and their loved ones. Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD is the first step towards getting the support and resources you need. We have current availability and openings to provide ADHD testing, psychotherapy, and coaching.
