Gottman Method therapists in Rockford, Illinois IL
Jane Bennett-Elias
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
In my years in practice, I have heard from many clients that they have struggled to find a good therapist. Many have said that they didn't feel understood or get interactive feedback in their previous experiences. I believe that the client/therapist relationship is a partnership. We will work together to help you get to the solutions that work for your life.

Dr. Tara Thompson
Psychologist, PsyD
My goal is to help you identify and resolve issues that may be preventing you from getting more of what you want in life. My style is warm and empathic, yet I can be challenging when it is needed in order to achieve growth.
Sarah Safron-Chiu
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I offer a compassionate, collaborative treatment approach targeted to meet your treatment needs. I have expertise in a variety of treatment approaches, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, and Gottman couples therapy. In our work together, you can expect to gain insight into your thoughts and feelings and relational patterns, with the support of a caring, creative, and knowledgable therapist. Insight into past traumas, injuries, and attachment relationships, as well as current ones are explored in the confines of a caring and highly supportive therapeutic relationship. Whether it is strengthening one's self in individual treatment or one's relationship in couples' therapy, you will be provided with the space, support, and tools to embark on your personal journey towards healing and growth.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When deciding to see a therapist, it can be extremely challenging to choose someone to work with. I hope to be there with you in therapy as you work to discover new levels self-understanding, compassion, and insight. Most individuals decide to start therapy after encountering emotional distress that has left them overwhelmed, and as though they have lost control of their life. I work collaboratively with my clients to find ways in which they are able to regain a sense of control, empowerment, and purpose in their lives.
Important to our work will be the concept that our relationship, and the exploration of that relationship, will help you make discoveries about other important relationships in your life. Although this work can be challenging at times, it can lead to improvements in your social interactions, mood, and anxiety.
While I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of individuals, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, ADHD, anxiety, depression, chronic shame, couples/relationship challenges, and non-traditional relationships. I am currently seeing new clients in my Dupont Circle office, and I look forward to answering any of your questions.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Practicing as a psychologist over the last 30 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have been privileged to be invited into the lives of individuals and couples who are suffering and help them find their way to peaceful, fulfilling lives and relationships. Having walked the road from abuse, suffering, tragedy, and mental health disorders to healing myself, I feel especially equipped to help others do the same. Knowing that healing oneself and one’s relationships is possible from personal experience, I am passionate about paying forward the lessons and wisdom I was given.
