Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

Authentic Counseling Services- Richard Turnham
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S, LADC-S
Hello, I have 14 years of experience in helping people change and improve their experience. I love helping people and I am so grateful to have found this profession. I am encouraged and inspired daily by significant changes and improvements I see with the people I help.
My approach is meeting you wherever you are in life and really focusing on gaining an in-depth understanding of you. I want to focus on understanding your experiences, motivations, perspectives, emotions, struggles, and circumstances. I want to know you at the most core level. I believe that process will lead to greater self-awareness and through that self-awareness we can begin to find areas that you have control to change. The changes made will create a different, better experience for you. I understand this concept is simple, but difficult to make happen. So, I will focus on building a collaborative plan and strategy to make it easier and more attainable. We will focus on facing fears, accepting things outside of our control, and gaining intention into where we have control. We will focus on ways of thinking about situations and finding helpful perspectives. We will focus on ways to control behaviors and begin doing more of what we want and less of what we don’t. This will create a better emotional experience, but we will also learn how to manage and tolerate difficult emotional moments.
My goal is to create a place where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged. A place where things become clearer, and you feel more confident and in control. A place where you know seeking truth will be a priority because that is the only way to grow and become stronger.
I enjoy helping people with any issue they are experiencing, including anxiety of all kinds, depression, addiction, PTSD, trauma, relationships, co-dependency, boundaries, spirituality, motivation, self-esteem, and grief. I am a Christian but have been an atheist and agnostic in the past, so I am very open to all viewpoints and enjoy working with people of any faith or lack thereof. I will adjust to you. I have had a wonderful marriage of 13 years and have always had a passion for understanding what makes a relationship healthy. I have 2 kids, 10 and 6, and have learned much about parenting. I spent a long period of time in the corporate world and worked my way up to director, so I understand and have gained perspective into that world and what it is like to be successful in it and then what it is like to get out of it. If this message speaks to you, contact me today and let’s begin a life changing experience and relationship.

Arianna Place, Somatic, Nature-Based, EMDR
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC-C
Something within you wants to emerge, yet you feel stuck and bound by beliefs like, "I'm not good enough," "It's too late for me," "I am shameful," or, "I'm broken." Often you feel you're watching your life rather than living it. You love your people, but you struggle to express it fully. You are carrying the weight of broken systems and feel the ache of a deep grief you can't quite name. You started this work because you want to help; now you feel like you're always in trouble. You desperately want to connect to Spirit and community, but have been harmed by church or religion. You're ready to come home to your body, to your Self.
I seek to create a safe container in which you can explore your innermost landscapes, heal from trauma, release binds, and move from survival to thriving. Rooted in somatic, feminist, and liberation psychologies, my therapeutic work incorporates EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness, alongside nature-based and narrative approaches.
I offer a warm, attuned presence grounded in compassion and reverence for your innate wisdom and ability to heal and grow. I support adults, pre-teens, teens, couples, and families, including folks who are engaged in or exploring non-monogamous relationship structures. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey. Let's begin!

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
I offer Christian Counseling to those who desire to include faith into their therapy. I speak the language of people who consider their faith to be an important part of their identity. I also have a heart to help people who are hurting, in need of transformation, and healing. It is rewarding to help people become the best version of themselves.
