Everlight recovery
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, spiritual certified, D.D.I.V, D.H.L
I believe that healing begins when we are truly seen, heard, and understood. My path as a counselor and ordained minister has been shaped by a deep calling to help others reconnect with their inner strength and sense of purpose. With advanced degrees in Divinity and Humane Letters, my approach combines spiritual insight with compassionate listening, creating a sacred space where transformation can occur. I work with individuals from all walks of life who are seeking clarity, peace, or healing—whether through grief, transition, spiritual questioning, or emotional pain. My goal is to walk beside you, not ahead of you, offering support that is grounded, respectful, and tailored to your unique journey.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and the founder of Hold the Vision Therapy. I’m a direct, engaged therapist so if you’re looking for someone who will actively work with you to understand and shift the patterns that are getting in the way of your relationships or personal growth, we’ll likely be a good fit.
Relationships are my specialty, whether that’s with yourself, partners, family, or chosen family. I work with communication issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, trauma, infidelity, life transitions, and high-conflict situations like domestic violence, divorce and co-parenting. I’m poly- and LGBTQIA+-affirmative and kink-aware, and I bring a sex-positive, nonjudgmental approach to this work.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have immediate openings! I am a Latina therapist who believes that people need to be seen and heard, not "fixed." We are all human and all of us need support. This is a safe space for you to be validated and welcomed. I serve adults of all ages in the state of Illinois via telehealth. If you find you like my therapeutic style, that's wonderful. We can have recurring sessions. You may come to sessions with lots to talk about and other times you may find it hard to just show up. That's okay. I can create as much or little structure as you would like. I'll shine a flashlight and support you through this.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I’m glad you are here. There is a reason you are here, and I understand how vulnerable this can be. It is so brave that you are here and ready to start your healing journey. My name is Allyson Stephens and I specialize in trauma informed care. I have personally healed from generational trauma and done my work in order to better understand myself and how trauma impacts the body and mind.
I am trained in trauma interventions and in the process of getting EMDR certified. I can help you explore what your body is telling you and help explore how to heal from past experiences. I can offer support through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trouble having emotions, and many more.
When you come into my office, I want you to be able to be your true self and not have to mask your authenticity. I want you to feel heard, safe, and understood. I look forward to starting this journey with you.

Brittany Statler, Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Headline: Move Beyond Just "Coping"—Build a Life Guided by Values, Not Fear.
About Me
If you’re here, you’re likely exhausted. Exhausted by the "what-ifs" of anxiety, the rigid rules of an eating disorder, the cycles of OCD, or the heavy weight of past trauma. You’ve probably tried to "think" your way out of these feelings, only to find yourself more stuck.
I’m Brittany (she/her), co-founder of Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group. I am an action-oriented, compassionate therapist for those who are ready to stop managing their symptoms and start reclaiming their lives.
My Approach: Action-Oriented & Mind-Body Focused
In a private-pay practice, you deserve more than just a place to vent. You deserve a specialized roadmap. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based approaches to help you drop the rope in the tug-of-war with your thoughts.
My approach is individualized and somatic (mind-body). We don’t just talk about change; we practice it. Together, we create a non-judgmental space where we swap criticism for curiosity. We will:
Identify your core value system: Deciding what actually matters to you, separate from your anxiety or disorder.
Bridge the mind-body gap: Learning to process trauma and distress where it lives—in your nervous system.
Take bold action: Moving toward a "life worth living" by taking steps that align with your authentic self.
The Private Pay Advantage
Choosing a private pay therapist means your care is never dictated by an insurance company’s codes or session limits. It allows us the freedom to work at the pace and depth you actually need. I maintain a smaller, dedicated caseload to ensure you receive the high-touch, individualized support required for deep healing in areas like OCD, trauma, anxiety and ED recovery.
Next Steps
You don't have to navigate this alone. If you're ready to stop let fear drive and start living authentically, book a free discovery call here. Let's see how we can work together to get you back to the person you were meant to be.

Craig Mead
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Every decade of life brings different obstacles, challenges, and lessons for us to navigate and overcome. Therapy is a valuable opportunity to explore and understand yourself, your relationships, and what you truly need and want. I'll let you set the agenda and focus on the issues that matter the most to you. I help clients address a variety of issues including: strengthening relationships, improving communication, assertiveness, and relationship skills, working through family problems, self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, work stress, anxiety, depression. Together we'll explore what's needed and strategize actionable steps to move you forward. When you improve yourself, your relationships will also improve
