Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt, Adlerian, and Solution-Focused approaches to support clients in pursuing goals that are meaningful and aligned with their values. I view therapy as a team effort and strive to show up as a clinician who works alongside you, honoring the whole person rather than focusing on isolated parts or symptoms.
My style is relaxed, genuine, honest, and collaborative, with an emphasis on building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I am always open to clients' feedback on what they want to work on in session, giving them agency. As a former Division I rugby player, I bring a strong appreciation for positive sports psychology and am especially passionate about supporting athletes in the Chicagoland area as they navigate performance pressures, identity, transitions, and overall mental wellness.

Alyssa Lorenzo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma, grief, and disconnection may shape us, but they don’t define us. We can free ourselves from the shame and guilt we’ve inherited by asking for and accepting care from our community, because healing happens when we are in connection with others. I partner with folks, exploring how past experiences impact their well-being and relationship dynamics to find their bespoke path toward healing. Together, we’ll untangle patterns rooted in pain, rebuild trust, and foster self-compassion. Therapy is a space to unburden yourself and create a life of deeper meaning and connection. Let’s begin your healing journey together.
I strive to create a warm, reflective, and supportive space where authenticity is practiced. Laughter and playfulness are some of the ways I like to build a connection with clients! Whatever brings you to therapy is reason enough, and I’m honored to hear your story. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit!

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing.
