Greg Welikson
Psychologist, PhD
For many men, the expectation to be the "rock" leaves little room to process fear, exhaustion, or doubt. When emotional pressure builds, it often manifests as pulling away or reacting with frustration—leaving both you and your partner feeling isolated.
My practice offers a confidential, strength-based space to understand your relational pattern (attachment style) and break out of reactive cycles. We focus on transforming surface-level frustration into clear communication and emotional connection, giving you a strategic blueprint to navigate life’s pressures without sacrificing your relationships or well-being.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You were taught to handle things on your own. Push through. Don't complain. Provide. And maybe that worked for a while, but now something's off. The anger that flares too fast. The numbness that's settled in. The sense that you're going through the motions but not really present in your own life. Asking for help can feel like failure when you've been told your whole life that needing help is weakness. It's not. It takes more strength to look at what's not working than to keep pretending everything's fine. We offer a space where you can be honest without judgment. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In addressing men's issues, I provide a supportive and understanding space to explore the challenges and concerns unique to men. Through therapy, we examine various aspects such as societal expectations, gender roles, relationships, mental health, and identity. I offer strategies to help men navigate issues such as stress, anger, depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties. Additionally, we explore ways to promote emotional expression, build resilience, and foster healthier coping mechanisms. The goal is to empower men to prioritize their mental health and well-being, develop a more authentic sense of self, and lead fulfilling lives.
