I have helped others like you improve their relationships, overcome anxiety, depression and anger. Even if you have lost hope, together we can build self-confidence, strengthen resilience, and find motivation to overcome the obstacles. Whether you come for individual, or for couples therapy, my clients are often surprised what can be overcome and how much better things can be.
Most people spend weeks or even months contemplating getting professional help. During that time, most continue to do what hasn't worked and things can deteriorate fast. When you contact me today, you are opening the door to relieving distressful symptoms and living a better life.

Relational Psychotherapy
Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
I work with people to help them be the best version of their Self. Whether we are working on anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, spiritual issues, grief or trauma, etc, We usually begin with the initial phase of getting through the issue that got them through the door of my office. After that we work on the underlying issues that contributed to the struggles they are having. I focus on developing the skills of emotional management so that a person's emotions are coloring their life rather than running their life. We look at habitual patterns of interpreting their circumstances and familiar bodily states that are keeping them stuck. We concentrate on getting control of the things they can control and letting go of those they cannot control. We also address the habits of their internal critic and the ways they respond to those judgements with the goal of developing a peaceful life that is resilient to the difficulties that may come in the future.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.
Relational Psychotherapy
Maria Mirza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As far as most people know you have your "life together." But deep down you feel stuck in a routine that feels overwhelming. You want to take the next step in your career or perhaps you want to ask an acquaintance out on a date but the fear of change, failure and self-doubt are holding you back. You have brilliant ideas that you want to share with others but you hesitate to act or speak because you are tormented by thoughts of "I'm not good enough." When you reach out to your friends, your colleagues, or your partner you feel unheard or misunderstood.
You want to do things differently but you feel lost. You want to have a balanced personal/ work life, feel confident about yourself, and be heard in relationships. I can help you recognize the obstacles that are getting in the way of your success and collaboratively work to create change that is meaningful to you.

Lillian Gecker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re going through big life changes, figuring out who you are, and finding your people. You’re ready to look inward, explore how your past is impacting the present, challenge your relational patterns, and connect with your identities and values. I take a collaborative and warm approach in helping you develop concrete strategies to manage stress and daily struggles, while supporting you in strengthening your connection with yourself and your community. You already have a lot of insight, strengths, and supports – and I’m here to help you bring those forth and integrate them into your day-to-day. You’re ready to go beyond tips to manage symptoms and look deeper to make lasting change.
I work with adolescents and adults managing depression, anxiety, life transitions, traumatic stress, healthy relationships, and identity exploration. I will hold your inner life as well as social, political, and cultural factors; bring authenticity and attention to your individual needs; and engage in depth-oriented approaches to help you increase insight into yourself.
I love working with a variety of mental health concerns, and am also passionate about working with activists, artists, helping professionals, adult/teen children of alcoholics, and individuals exploring identity issues related to gender, sexuality, and/or religion. Please reach out to connect for a free initial consultation.

Fatma Aydin, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It is often difficult to ask for support in the face of life’s challenges, and I appreciate you taking this step! I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and identity and self-esteem concerns, among others. My goal is to create a comfortable and safe space where we work collaboratively to help you face those challenges and make the changes you desire to live a more fulfilling life. We all have vulnerabilities, and strengths we often don’t realize. I therefore work with my clients to build on their strengths and resilience, and develop self-compassion.
I recognize the impact of culture on our identities and experiences and I have enjoyed working with clients from diverse backgrounds at outpatient, community mental health, and university counseling settings. These included the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Northwestern University, DePaul University and University of Illinois at Chicago.
I welcome clients from all walks of life and feel humbled by their willingness to invite me to be a part of their journey.
