Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Experiences related to infertility and adoption can bring intense emotions, stress, grief, uncertainty, and complex relationship challenges for couples. Gottman Method couples therapy offers a supportive space to navigate these experiences together with greater understanding, communication, and emotional connection. Therapy actively guides couples through difficult emotions, strengthens their partnership during periods of uncertainty, and creates space for both shared and individual experiences within the journey to parenthood. Whether couples are coping with fertility struggles or exploring adoption, they often are confronted with difficulties in their sexual life. Therapy opens conversations so sexuality can be a source of love, connection, and healing during these tumultuous times.

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.
