Oak Brook, Illinois therapist: Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness, counselor/therapist
Serving Black / African American

Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness

Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt, Adlerian, and Solution-Focused approaches to support clients in pursuing goals that are meaningful and aligned with their values. I view therapy as a team effort and strive to show up as a clinician who works alongside you, honoring the whole person rather than focusing on isolated parts or symptoms. My style is relaxed, genuine, honest, and collaborative, with an emphasis on building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I am always open to clients' feedback on what they want to work on in session, giving them agency. As a former Division I rugby player, I bring a strong appreciation for positive sports psychology and am especially passionate about supporting athletes in the Chicagoland area as they navigate performance pressures, identity, transitions, and overall mental wellness.

Chicago, Illinois therapist: Alyssa Lorenzo, licensed professional counselor
Serving Black / African American

Alyssa Lorenzo

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma, grief, and disconnection may shape us, but they don’t define us. We can free ourselves from the shame and guilt we’ve inherited by asking for and accepting care from our community, because healing happens when we are in connection with others. I partner with folks, exploring how past experiences impact their well-being and relationship dynamics to find their bespoke path toward healing. Together, we’ll untangle patterns rooted in pain, rebuild trust, and foster self-compassion. Therapy is a space to unburden yourself and create a life of deeper meaning and connection. Let’s begin your healing journey together. I strive to create a warm, reflective, and supportive space where authenticity is practiced. Laughter and playfulness are some of the ways I like to build a connection with clients! Whatever brings you to therapy is reason enough, and I’m honored to hear your story. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit!

Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.
