Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Chronic stress doesn't just exhaust the mind—it live-wires the nervous system, leading to physical fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and severe burnout. If you feel like you are constantly operating in "survival mode," Anne provides a warm, restorative, and collaborative space to help you hit the pause button. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a certified specialist in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she partners with individuals to unpack the roots of their chronic stress and build reliable, daily practices to regain a sense of calm and control.
By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with creative art therapy techniques, she helps clients bypass the intellectual overthinking that keeps stress trapped in the body. Together, you will develop sustainable boundaries, learn somatic grounding tools, and change how you react to pressure. Whether your stress is driven by high-functioning anxiety, professional burnout, a new medical diagnosis, deep grief, or the overwhelming "invisible load" of the parenting and perinatal journey, Anne is dedicated to helping you move from a state of constant depletion to resilient, balanced living.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You're holding too much. Work demands that never let up. Family responsibilities pulling you in multiple directions. The mental load of keeping everything running while trying to also take care of yourself, which keeps falling to the bottom of the list. You're not lazy. You're not failing. You're overwhelmed by a pace that isn't sustainable, and your body and mind are telling you something has to give. We help you identify what's actually driving the stress, where you have more control than you think, and how to build a life that doesn't require you to run on empty. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
