Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I’m Dr. Thomas Ballas, a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), trauma, and perfectionism. My professional background includes hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer within the U.S. Army, where I gained invaluable experience addressing diverse mental health challenges. These experiences have shaped my commitment to offering compassionate, individualized care that empowers clients to overcome obstacles and create meaningful, lasting change.
I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tailoring each method to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll work to improve your emotional well-being, break free from unhelpful patterns, and guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Meg Lukan
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Hi, I'm Meg! I help capable, driven people pause, untangle what’s been weighing them down, and find their way back to a version of themselves that feels clearer, lighter, and more grounded. Many of my clients look "fine" on the outside but may be dealing with overwhelming and anxious feelings they aren't quite sure how to navigate. With over three decades of experience in counseling, I bring my humor, positive attitude, and clinical experience to encourage clients to embrace their struggles, understand their patterns, and shift their mindsets.

Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
Hi, I’m Eric Tivers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider based in Illinois. I’m also AuDHD, queer, and deeply committed to helping other neurodivergent adults build lives that feel more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still can’t seem to keep up, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. I work with ADHDers, autistic adults, and other neurodivergent humans who are navigating overwhelm, burnout, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance. My style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and direct. I blend therapy, coaching, and practical strategies that help you turn insight into real change.
I’m also sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Many of my clients are exploring identity, communication, or relationships in ways that don’t fit neatly into a box — and that’s exactly where we can do our best work. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full self, without shame or judgment.
Outside of therapy, I host the ADHD reWired podcast and lead intensive coaching and accountability groups for adults with ADHD — communities that have helped hundreds of people connect, grow, and thrive.
Whether you’re seeking therapy for ADHD, autism, trauma, or simply wanting to feel more at ease in your own skin, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s find a way to make life work with your brain, not against it.
