Depression
New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Specializing in treating depression involves a holistic approach aimed at understanding the unique factors contributing to each individual's experience. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness practices, I work to address both the emotional and cognitive aspects of depression. By creating a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment, I support clients in exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while also empowering them to develop effective coping strategies and resilience. My specialized expertise enables me to assist clients in uncovering underlying issues, fostering self-awareness, and ultimately facilitating meaningful change toward a more fulfilling life.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Depression
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Depression can feel like a disconnection from yourself, others, and the parts of life that once felt meaningful. I support clients in gently exploring what sits beneath feelings of sadness, numbness, or low motivation while also working to reduce the heaviness that can make daily life feel difficult. In our work together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and reconnecting with a sense of purpose and self-compassion. My goal is to help you feel less alone in what you’re experiencing and to support you in gradually rebuilding energy, hope, and emotional balance.

Depression
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Depression can make it extremely difficult to move through the world. Maybe you are feeling down, questioning your worth, or struggling to find pleasure in things you usually enjoy. When people are depressed, it can be extremely difficult to engage in the world. Finding a therapist who specializes in treating depression is an important step that can help you to start re-engaging. I provide a supportive space to process your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can work on helping you identify small steps you can take to gradually increase your energy and motivation over time. We can also focus on helping you to identify and challenge distorted ways of thinking that are likely worsening your depression. You don't have to stay stuck and isolated. I would be honored to help you work through this difficult season.

Depression
Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I approach depression by helping clients reconnect with meaning, values, and a sense of agency, rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction. Our work blends emotional processing with practical, values-aligned action to gently restore momentum, self-trust, and engagement with life. Therapy with a client experiencing depression is collaborative, paced, and centered on the whole person, not just the depression.
