Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Hello and welcome! I'm Dr. Pam Heilman, a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth therapy to adults throughout Illinois.
I believe that therapy works best when it combines the science of effective treatment with a genuine, collaborative relationship. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, but I also recognize that every person brings their own experiences, strengths, values, and goals to the therapy process. Together, we will work to understand the challenges you're facing and identify practical strategies that can help you move forward.
Many of the individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, or the overwhelming stress that can come from feeling stuck in patterns of worry, fear, or self-doubt. These experiences can be exhausting and isolating, but they are also highly treatable. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence needed to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions so they no longer have as much control over your life.

Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Does setting boundaries feel uncomfortable or even unsafe? Do you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection while quietly feeling exhausted? I specialize in helping women and helping professionals break free from burnout and reclaim their time, energy, and sense of self. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and REBT, I offer a supportive space where real, practical change happens. If you’re ready for therapy that actually helps you move forward, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

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.
