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.

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.
