Holly Passi
Psychologist, PsyD
People often come to therapy when something internal feels off, even if they can’t fully explain what it is. In my practice, I offer a space to slow down, reflect, and begin making sense of what’s been difficult to name or change on your own. My work is grounded in depth-oriented and trauma-informed approaches, tailored to support meaningful and lasting shifts, not just symptom relief. If you're seeking therapy that balances thoughtful exploration with practical support, I invite you to reach out.

Jaylan Abd Elrahman
Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills into their day to day and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels liberating, life-affirming, and meaningful.
My goal is to offer a space that feels collaborative, creative and deeply human- a space where your story is met with curiosity, compassion and trust. My work is guided by Humanistic and Relational Cultural approaches, shining light on and engaging the unique wisdom you already come with and paying close attention to the cultural, racial and systemic forces that shape all our lived experiences. Our sessions might integrate story sharing, trauma processing, skill building, mindfulness and somatic practices, and expressive arts, depending on what feels most supportive to you week to week. I hope that clients experience therapy as venues for personal transformation that offer relief, clarity, levity and empowerment.
Alongside my clinical practice, I teach at several Chicago-area universities and have spent over a decade developing healing-centered programs for migrant youth and women of color in community-based settings. These experiences continue to inform my deep respect for various cultural and ancestral modalities of healing, as well as an appreciation for the many ways people continue to dream new lives into reality!
If you’re seeking a therapist who approaches this process with humility, warmth, humor and a sincere commitment in your growth, I would be eager to connect with you!

Mary Vanderplow
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have the expertise to help clients find their way to a life that doesn't revolve around food, weight, and appearance. There is a path to recovery for every individual and I take the time to get to know each and every client and give them the personal care they need and deserve. It is important to me that my clients don't feel like a number, that each client feels seen, heard, and validated through the therapeutic process.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
I help women—especially Black and Brown women—find relief from anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. If you’re tired of carrying everything on your own, therapy with me is a space to finally breathe, feel seen, and reconnect with who you are underneath the stress. Together, we’ll work through the pain, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build the confidence to move forward. You don’t have to hold it all alone anymore. You’re in the right place.

Kelly Trawczynski, LMSW
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMSW, LCSW
You don't have to stay stuck in cycles of fear, shame, or disconnection. Therapy can be the bridge between surviving and truly living. I specialize in helping adults untangle complex layers of trauma, spirituality, and sexuality so they can reconnect to their truest selves. Whether you’re healing from a traumatic event, exploring your sexuality, working through sexual shame, or soothing a wounded inner child, you are welcome here.
With over eleven years of experience, I draw from specialized training in EMDR, trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), somatic (mind-body) therapy, sex therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and DBT. Together, we’ll address both the emotional and physical imprints of trauma — building skills to calm anxiety, reclaim safety in your body, and rebuild trust in yourself.

I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.
