Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Carrying anxiety, holding back your voice, or tending to everyone else’s needs can feel deeply lonely. If you’re stretched thin or unsure of your next step, I want you to know that you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.
With over 30 years as a psychotherapist specializing in EFT, somatic work, anxiety, and trauma, I’ve supported countless women right at this crossroads. I’ve seen how healing becomes possible when the body is included in the conversation and the nervous system finally has room to unwind.
Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space filled with warmth, honesty, and grounded support. Using body-based tools and compassionate guidance, I’ll help you feel safe enough to explore what’s underneath—and empowered to build the life you’ve been longing for.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Amber Pfeiffer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ARNP, PMHNP-BC
I work with my clients to develop self-compassion, increased self-esteem, resilience to stress, encouragement during times of high stress or low motivation, better time-management, & adaptation to transitions such as starting college or a new nursing job. I find clients have excellent progress applying the practice of mind-body skills & guided imagery, especially when processing trauma, grief, or exploring attachment patterns developed in childhood.
I believe there is a place for medications, and they help many people, I also understand that many people do not benefit from medications. I can help clients reduce their alcohol intake and safely taper off of benzodiazepines and other medications.
By taking a proactive, individualized approach to your care, we can work together to develop a plan tailored to your personal goals. Clients tell me they "feel much better" after our sessions, that I am "very responsive", & they like my "vibe".

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
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.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, panic and phobias, trichotillomania and skin picking (BFRBs), and athlete mental health. I offer a client-focused, non-judgmental environment where you can address feelings of uncertainty, learn and implement new skills, and make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will examine the challenges you are facing, set clear goals, and develop a plan to minimize the impact of stress and anxiety on your daily functioning. Building trust is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship, and I strive to meet individuals where they are at the start of therapy. My approach is goal-oriented, supportive, and collaborative.

Jaylan Abd Elrahman
Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills into their day to day and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels liberating, life-affirming, and meaningful.
My goal is to offer a space that feels collaborative, creative and deeply human- a space where your story is met with curiosity, compassion and trust. My work is guided by Humanistic and Relational Cultural approaches, shining light on and engaging the unique wisdom you already come with and paying close attention to the cultural, racial and systemic forces that shape all our lived experiences. Our sessions might integrate story sharing, trauma processing, skill building, mindfulness and somatic practices, and expressive arts, depending on what feels most supportive to you week to week. I hope that clients experience therapy as venues for personal transformation that offer relief, clarity, levity and empowerment.
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach at several Chicago-area universities and have spent over a decade developing healing-centered programs for migrant youth and women of color in community-based settings. These experiences continue to inform my deep respect for various cultural and ancestral modalities of healing, as well as an appreciation for the many ways people continue to dream new lives into reality!
If you’re seeking a therapist who approaches this process with humility, warmth, humor and a sincere commitment in your growth, I would be eager to connect with you!
