Craig Mead
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Every decade of life brings different obstacles, challenges, and lessons for us to navigate and overcome. Therapy is a valuable opportunity to explore and understand yourself, your relationships, and what you truly need and want. I'll let you set the agenda and focus on the issues that matter the most to you. I help clients address a variety of issues including: strengthening relationships, improving communication, assertiveness, and relationship skills, working through family problems, self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, work stress, anxiety, depression. Together we'll explore what's needed and strategize actionable steps to move you forward. When you improve yourself, your relationships will also improve

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with intrusive thoughts, constant mental noise, compulsive behaviors, or unresolved pain can make it feel like you’re trapped in patterns you can’t escape. If you’re ready to do meaningful work and want a therapist who is direct, genuine, and grounded, I’m here for that. My approach is straightforward but deeply compassionate—we’ll take an honest look at what’s keeping you stuck and develop practical tools that support lasting change.
I work extensively with OCD, anxiety, panic, trauma, men’s issues, body dysmorphia, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and the unique pressures faced by those in creative and entertainment fields.

Springfield is the Illinois state capital and the hometown of Abraham Lincoln, whose legacy pervades the city's identity and draws significant heritage tourism, and the mental health landscape here reflects the particular pressures of a mid-size state capital—government and public sector employment, political uncertainty, and the economic challenges of a city that has struggled to grow beyond its role as an administrative center. Memorial Health System and HSHS Medical Group both provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress and bureaucratic burnout, economic anxiety in a city that has faced population decline, anxiety, depression, and the tensions of a state capital navigating chronic fiscal challenges and political conflict in Illinois state government. The city's central location also makes it a regional resource for mental health care across rural central Illinois.
