Chris Peters
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, EMDR, IFS
Hello! Welcome to my listing. Feeling a part of you that is overwhelmed? Is it making you want to stop and just give up? Hopefully I can help.
I specialize in working with individuals and relationships (of all varieties) from tween to adulthood, in the areas of trauma, shame, relationship distress, life transitions, self esteem, body image, depression/anxiety, and LGBTQ related issues. My approach is non-pathologizing, so you are not going to be labeled with a problem that needs to be fixed. Instead, we are going to understand why things are going the way they are and how that, at some point, may have actually helped your system. Then we have a chance to renegotiate it instead of just saying "go away". Knowing something is a challenge is not enough, we need to help the part of you that is carrying the burden to release it.
My practice is LGBTQ and gender affirming, sex positive, kink-allied, takes on all relationship types (couples, triads, poly, families, platonic, etc) and body sizes.

Bill Hoekstra
Psychologist, Psy.D., LP DBSM
Sleep troubles and emotional challenges can be overwhelming. Getting the right help shouldn't add to your stress. I am passionate about improving sleep and mood for my clients! I'm a board-certified diplomate specializing in sleep disorders. I also specialize in the treatment of psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality issues.
For sleep issues, I focus on evidence-based approaches, including CBT-I, a gold-standard therapy that effectively addresses insomnia, nightmares, and sleep routine disruptions.
For trauma, anxiety, and depression, I offer effective treatments such as:
CBT: This well-established therapy provides valuable skills for managing negative thoughts and behaviors.
A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): This evidence-based approach helps process and resolve troubling experiences efficiently.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This therapy can help alleviate the emotional impact of trauma or other distressful events.
Together, we can build a personalized plan to address your concerns and empower you to move towards a healthier, happier life. Contact me today for a free consultation and let's discuss how I can help you achieve your goals. I can help you find relief and move towards a healthier, happier life!

Dr. Eric Fields
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a new approach to addressing gambling addiction problems, one that is not based off of antiquated ideas, very flexible and individualized, and an alternative to the very dogmatic philosophy of Gamblers Anonymous (GA). I use my wealth of experience that I have gained throughout the years as well as a host of evidence-based strategies to really help you make the best possible progress. Most importantly, I work with whatever goals are meaningful to you and treat all of your problems and concerns (as your compulsive gambling behavior is very often not your only struggle or issue).

Thriving Therapy Chicago PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being a social worker means that I value the "person in context" approach. I recognize that social, historical, and cultural surroundings impact our lives and well-being. As a result, this approach lets me better understand my clients. I value making the therapeutic environment a safe one and one in which clients are free to speak without fear of judgement or shame. I recognize the privilege that I hold, especially in regards to the power dynamics at play in a therapeutic relationship. I will always encourage clients to be in the driver's seat regarding their care.

Joy Powell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA Socio, MSW, LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree in Sociology, my therapeutic practice is built on a deep understanding that healing does not happen in a vacuum, it is shaped by the systems we live within, the roles we are asked to play, and the identities we carry. This dual lens allows me to support clients in ways that are both deeply personal and socially aware, bridging emotional insight with an understanding of the wider cultural and structural influences on our lives.
In our work together, I will help you explore not only your internal landscape—your thoughts, emotions, and patterns—but also how your lived experiences have been shaped by family systems, societal expectations, and cultural norms. Together, we will cultivate a therapeutic space where your humanity is deeply acknowledged and your full self is supported and respected.
Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, not just for what they are going through, but for the context in which those struggles have taken root. This kind of care can be transformational, especially for those who have felt misunderstood or pressured to “fix” themselves without first feeling safe enough to truly BE themselves.
Therapy with me is not about offering quick fixes, it is about co-creating a relationship that is grounded in trust, reflection, and steady support. I offer a warm, down-to-earth, and thoughtful presence that invites curiosity, connection, and sustainable change. If you are seeking a therapist who honors both your personal story and the world that shaped it, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward deeper understanding and lasting well-being.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.
