Samire Qosaj
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed practicing counselor
I strive to create a space where you can show up as your full self whether you feel loud, quiet, curious, or uncertain. If you are an immigrant, a first-generation American, or a neurodivergent individual navigating the intersections of culture, faith, and identity, you are not alone. As a first-generation Muslim American, with English as my second language, I have personally experienced many of these layered identities and continue to reflect on them in my own journey. I understand how complex, challenging, and meaningful this process can be.

Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
Hi, I’m Eric Tivers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider based in Illinois. I’m also AuDHD, queer, and deeply committed to helping other neurodivergent adults build lives that feel more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still can’t seem to keep up, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. I work with ADHDers, autistic adults, and other neurodivergent humans who are navigating overwhelm, burnout, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance. My style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and direct. I blend therapy, coaching, and practical strategies that help you turn insight into real change.
I’m also sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Many of my clients are exploring identity, communication, or relationships in ways that don’t fit neatly into a box — and that’s exactly where we can do our best work. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full self, without shame or judgment.
Outside of therapy, I host the ADHD reWired podcast and lead intensive coaching and accountability groups for adults with ADHD — communities that have helped hundreds of people connect, grow, and thrive.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for ADHD, autism, trauma, or simply wanting to feel more at ease in your own skin, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s find a way to make life work with your brain, not against it.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience. I assist high-functioning individuals in developing the skills necessary to address whatever roadblocks life presents. It may be an issue regarding a relationship with a family member, a work-related challenge, or more complex issues such as divorce, addiction, adoption, or a significant loss. Whatever it may be, I am equipped to help see you through these real-life challenges and comfort you with the wisdom that there is a solution.
Life Happens and we need to be prepared to manage whatever comes our way. Through an eclectic treatment modality, I assist individuals, couples, adolescents and The Family System to achieve and maintain their highest functioning.
Successful Psychotherapy is were stellar education meets relational artistry. Simply stated, you present the facts, feelings, and resistance, and I help you paint the picture to uncover a deeper understanding with your purposeful meaning in life. From there, I present you with a flash light to find your way. Along this path, it’s my hope and goal for my clients to develop new tools that lead to an optimally fulfilled life. Life is a process, not a destination and I'm honored to join my clients on their journey.
Finding a therapist to assist in your families well-being can be a difficult endeavor. I understand the complexities of this decision I respect that you may want to meet me in person to decide if we are a good fit for you and your family. I welcome you to come in for a free 30 minutes consultation to discuss your current needs. It is my hope and goal to help each member of the family identify their individual challenges so to strengthen the entire system. While we can not change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges that may feel

Mary Gale Gurnsey
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I became passionate about this work because I've witnessed how deeply relationship trauma affects people's ability to trust themselves and others. Many of my clients come in feeling lost, unsure of what healthy actually looks like, and carrying the weight of past relationships where they lost their sense of self.
What I love most is helping people recognize that they're not broken — they're responding logically to what they've experienced. By understanding your attachment patterns and past dynamics, we can build a different future. My goal is to help you feel secure in yourself while building relationships where you're truly valued as an equal partner.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, non-judgmental, and respectful of your pace.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
What if the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors you struggle with aren't signs that something is wrong with you—but clues that something important deserves your curiosity? Many of us spend years asking, "What's wrong with me?" I believe therapy begins with a different question: "What makes sense about the way I've learned to survive?" Together, we'll explore the patterns that have shaped your life with compassion rather than judgment, helping you develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions while creating meaningful, lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist who combines warmth, honest conversation, and evidence-based care, I'd be honored to work with you. If you'd like to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already done therapy and want something that helps them break through old patterns and grow in a new direction.
