Amy Look
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Exhausted by overthinking, people-pleasing, and holding yourself to impossible standards? From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together - you're thoughtful, capable, and high-achieving. But inside, you feel uncertain, overwhelmed, and stuck. If this resonates, I can help! I specialize in skills-focused therapy for adults who want real change, not just support. Our work together will empower you toward a life that's defined by your values, not your critical inner voice. I’ll use evidence-based strategies to teach you how to calm your mind, cope with stress, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. Call or send me a message to discuss more about what it would be like to work together.

Kathy Pflederer
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, B.S.Nursing, MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling,
I believe therapy is a place where you can slow down, feel truly heard, and begin making sense of the patterns, experiences, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, and I draw from evidence-based approaches while honoring each person’s values, faith, and unique story. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, and a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.

Peoria is a central Illinois city historically associated with the phrase 'Will it play in Peoria?'—a cultural benchmark for mainstream American taste—and home to major Caterpillar Inc. operations—the company that has shaped the city's industrial identity and workforce for generations. The city has faced significant challenges from deindustrialization and population decline, and OSF HealthCare's large integrated health system—including behavioral health services—is one of the most significant mental health resources for central Illinois. Bradley University contributes a student population and some counseling capacity, and a private therapy sector serves the professional and healthcare community. Common therapy concerns include economic anxiety tied to Caterpillar's global business cycles, depression and anxiety in a community navigating population and economic decline, industrial workforce stress, and the mental health challenges of mid-size Midwestern cities working to reimagine their futures.
