Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Hello and welcome! I'm Dr. Pam Heilman, a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth therapy to adults throughout Illinois.
I believe that therapy works best when it combines the science of effective treatment with a genuine, collaborative relationship. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, but I also recognize that every person brings their own experiences, strengths, values, and goals to the therapy process. Together, we will work to understand the challenges you're facing and identify practical strategies that can help you move forward.
Many of the individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, or the overwhelming stress that can come from feeling stuck in patterns of worry, fear, or self-doubt. These experiences can be exhausting and isolating, but they are also highly treatable. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence needed to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions so they no longer have as much control over your life.

Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
I work with people to help them be the best version of their Self. Whether we are working on anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, spiritual issues, grief or trauma, etc, We usually begin with the initial phase of getting through the issue that got them through the door of my office. After that we work on the underlying issues that contributed to the struggles they are having. I focus on developing the skills of emotional management so that a person's emotions are coloring their life rather than running their life. We look at habitual patterns of interpreting their circumstances and familiar bodily states that are keeping them stuck. We concentrate on getting control of the things they can control and letting go of those they cannot control. We also address the habits of their internal critic and the ways they respond to those judgements with the goal of developing a peaceful life that is resilient to the difficulties that may come in the future.

Meghan Luse
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC
Healing from trauma isn't just about talking about the past; it’s about physically and emotionally releasing it. With 13 years of clinical experience, I specialize in treating attachment trauma and unprocessed trauma using an integrated, mind-body approach. I utilize EMDR, somatic techniques, and attachment theory to help your nervous system find safety again. I also incorporate experiential methods, such as Jungian sandplay therapy, to help you process experiences that are difficult to put into words. If you are ready to move beyond simply coping and start truly healing, I provide a safe, grounded space for us to begin.

Rachel Purcell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe that successful therapy happens after forming a solid foundation between the therapist and the client. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to be your full authentic self. My approach is client-centered and evidence informed, with a focus on helping clients navigate emotional challenges and improve overall well-being. I also utilize healthy humor in my sessions as I believe it can be very healing in the therapeutic process. I specialize in treating teens and young adults with OCD, anxiety disorders, depression, and self-esteem issues.

Rachel Leth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide a compassionate, faith-informed space where individuals can process trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions with honesty and hope. I believe healing happens when clients feel safe, understood, and supported—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, helping clients explore patterns that contribute to stress and feelings of emotional depletion while building practical tools for lasting change. I integrate evidence-based therapy with clients’ faith when desired, honoring personal values and beliefs throughout the therapeutic process.
Many of the clients I work with feel exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Together, we work toward greater clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose. I aim to make therapy a supportive and empowering experience as you move toward healing and wholeness.
