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".

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.

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.

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.
