Mariko Roberts
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCPC
Women navigate a unique intersection of roles, expectations, and physical and emotional experiences — and that deserves dedicated, thoughtful care. I specialize in supporting women through identity shifts, relationship challenges, motherhood, self-worth, and other health-related transitions. Our work together goes beyond symptom management — it's about unpacking the patterns and stories that have shaped you, strengthening the mind-body connection, and helping you feel genuinely empowered, grounded, and whole.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Anne provides a warm, deeply validating, and collaborative space dedicated to the unique emotional, physical, and psychological landscapes of women's mental health. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with women across the lifespan to dismantle the "invisible load," heal from self-doubt, and find a authentic voice in their relationships, careers, and personal lives.
Anne’s integrative approach is specifically attuned to how stress, trauma, and identity shifts uniquely manifest in women. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she offers alternative somatic tools to quiet a hyper-vigilant inner critic and process complex emotions. Whether you are navigating the profound identity shifts of the perinatal and motherhood journey (PMH-C), weathering professional burnout in a demanding field, coping with a chronic medical illness, or processing complex grief, Anne is dedicated to empowering you with practical coping strategies to reclaim your personal agency and well-being.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
The glass ceiling has shattered, and I understand the unique challenges that women face today. Balancing the demands of raising children—whether married or single—while pursuing a rewarding and efficient career can feel overwhelming. As you navigate significant life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, or other life stage changes, the sense of being stretched to your limits can be intensified.
I am dedicated to empowering women to address all aspects of their health and well-being. Together, we will explore the emotional, relational, and professional challenges that arise during these times of change. I emphasize the importance of self-care as a cornerstone for optimal functioning, both as an individual and within your family system. Through personalized guidance and support, I will help you reclaim your strength, build resilience, and foster a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and aspirations. Let's work together to transform obstacles into opportunities for growth and empowerment!

Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Many women seek therapy under the crushing weight of expectations and the persistent feeling of “not good enough.” This can show up in relationships and friendships, caregiving and parenting roles, career and workplace stress, body image, healthcare experiences, finances, fertility and pregnancy, and the daily impact of sexism, discrimination, and unequal emotional labor. I help women explore what they’ve been carrying, reconnect with their needs, and untangle themselves from harmful conditioning and messaging. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-trust, stronger boundaries, and a more authentic life guided by your values.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The expectations are relentless. Be successful but not too ambitious. Be a good mother and a good partner and a good daughter and a good employee, and make it all look effortless. Your needs end up last, if they make the list at all. And when you struggle, you wonder what's wrong with you instead of questioning the impossible standards. We work with women navigating the particular pressures that come with being a woman in this world: identity and role transitions, relationship dynamics, body image, reproductive challenges, career and family tensions, and the simple exhaustion of doing too much for too long. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
