Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
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!

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you reach out. In my practice, therapy is a space where the messy chaos is welcome — where you can explore your stress, identity, relationships, or life transitions without judgment. I specialize in supporting college students and young adults who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of what’s next. Together, we’ll process the chaos, find clarity, and create a version of healing that actually feels human.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
I have over 34 years of experience working as a clinical psychologist. The bulk of my career was spent at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, where I provided comprehensive, evidence-based psychological assessment and intervention for a range of mental health difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, substance use, sleep, chronic pain, personality disorders, and psychosis. In addition to my clinical work, I served as the overall Director of Training for the APA-accredited doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency training programs. Throughout my tenure in this position, I have had the honor of providing clinical supervision and mentorship to over 300 psychology interns and postdoctoral residents.
Since retiring from my position at the VA, I have continued to…
- Maintain a private practice providing individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment
- Serve in several volunteer leadership roles involved in the national management and coordination of psychology training and education and the overall profession of psychology
- Serve on the Minnesota Board of Law Examiners
- Serve as an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota's Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program
- Teach graduate-level courses at local psychology doctoral programs
On a more personal note, I have a passion for travel and the thrill of discovering new culinary adventures and restaurants. Cooking, art, and photography are creative outlets that I cherish, along with a love for nature and outdoor activities. My commitment to health and an active lifestyle is evident in my lifelong engagement with endurance sports, including marathon running, cycling, ironman triathlons, and hiking. These activities not only challenge me physically but also provide a strong sense of accomplishment and joy.
My practice is anchored in the belief that my clients are more than just their symptoms or diagnoses. I collaborate closely with them to thoroughly understand their unique struggles and customize a treatment approach that utilizes proven methods to address their specific needs. My objective is to apply my years of knowledge and expertise to every individual I assist.
I have extensive experience working with adults from diverse ethnic, racial, gender, sexual, and religious backgrounds. Additionally, I have developed specialized skills to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals.

Fernanda Cutrone Krumm, LPC/LCPC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL), LCPC (IL)
Life can be messy, confusing, and intense. You might be navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, or just trying to figure out how to feel more like yourself.
Maybe you’ve been stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or unsure how to respond to the challenges in your life. Whatever your story, therapy can help you move forward with more clarity, balance, and confidence.
My work isn’t about blaming the past or staying stuck in old stories. It’s about understanding how your mind, body, and emotions all interact — and helping you respond to life in ways that feel more manageable, authentic, and aligned with who you want to be. In our sessions, we talk about everything: thoughts, habits, relationships, emotional patterns, and how your body experiences life. It’s a space to slow down, get real, and see yourself more clearly.
Together, we develop practical strategies and insights that help you manage overwhelm, navigate challenges, and make decisions that truly support your life. We curse, we cry, we laugh — and we work toward letting go of what no longer serves you while building the skills to thrive. Growth happens when we change how we think, believe, and act, and I am here to guide you through that process.
I offer telehealth sessions in Alabama and Illinois, so you can work with me wherever you feel safe and ready to do the work. My approach is grounded, real, and adaptable — for anyone looking to feel more capable, connected, and alive in their own life.
