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.

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.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.

Amber Pfeiffer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ARNP, PMHNP-BC
I work with my clients to develop self-compassion, increased self-esteem, resilience to stress, encouragement during times of high stress or low motivation, better time-management, & adaptation to transitions such as starting college or a new nursing job. I find clients have excellent progress applying the practice of mind-body skills & guided imagery, especially when processing trauma, grief, or exploring attachment patterns developed in childhood.
I believe there is a place for medications, and they help many people, I also understand that many people do not benefit from medications. I can help clients reduce their alcohol intake and safely taper off of benzodiazepines and other medications.
By taking a proactive, individualized approach to your care, we can work together to develop a plan tailored to your personal goals. Clients tell me they "feel much better" after our sessions, that I am "very responsive", & they like my "vibe".

Letitia Cullens-Proctor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC
I’m a trauma therapist specializing in EMDR and KAP and supporting people heal from historic trauma and reconnect with themselves in the present. I also work with individuals navigating the “later-in-life” realizations such as receiving an adult ADHD/autism diagnosis (even without the official diagnosis) or rethinking long-held beliefs about who they are and how they want to live. My approach interweaves humor with curiosity and warmth because therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical to be effective. Whether you're processing trauma, exploring a new identity, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support you with compassion, clarity, and respect.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
I offer a therapy space where you don’t have to have it all together to be supported. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts, including the perinatal period and concerns around intimacy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, build practical tools, and create space for meaningful, lasting change. If you’re ready for a space where you can be honest, supported, and understood, I invite you to reach out.
