Find a Therapist in United States

You don't have to keep carrying everything alone. Whether you're recovering from a narcissistic relationship, feeling burned out, struggling with anxiety, or questioning who you are after years of putting everyone else first, we'll work together to help you reconnect with yourself. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and practical, helping you build emotional resilience, healthy boundaries, and the confidence to move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.  

As a person-centered mental health therapist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care that honors the dignity, autonomy, and inherent worth of each individual I serve. I am committed to fostering a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment where healing can flourish, and where clients feel valued, understood, and empowered to create positive change in their lives.  

Exhausted by overthinking, people-pleasing, and holding yourself to impossible standards? From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together - you're thoughtful, capable, and high-achieving. But inside, you feel uncertain, overwhelmed, and stuck. If this resonates, I can help! I specialize in skills-focused therapy for adults who want real change, not just support. Our work together will empower you toward a life that's defined by your values, not your critical inner voice. I’ll use evidence-based strategies to teach you how to calm your mind, cope with stress, build confidence, and strengthen relationships. Call or send me a message to discuss more about what it would be like to work together.  

Welcome to a transformative space where your emotional well-being and personal growth take center stage. With over a decade of experience, I blend evidence-based practices with genuine empathy to create a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to explore your challenges and build resilience. My holistic approach helps you tackle stress, anxiety, and depression, while fostering confidence and motivation. Here, you'll find the support and empowerment you need to navigate life's complexities and unlock a more fulfilling, happier life. Your journey towards change begins with courage—let's take those steps together.  

If you’ve been holding it all together for everyone else but feel like you’re falling apart inside, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing it that way. I work with women who are navigating life’s transitions while carrying the weight of expectations, responsibilities, and emotional overwhelm. On the outside, you may look like you have it all together, but internally, you may feel exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore. Therapy with me is a space where you can be real, no pressure to perform, no need to have the “right” words. I bring a warm, honest, and down-to-earth approach, helping you make sense of what you’re feeling while also giving you practical tools to move forward. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, relationship challenges, motherhood, or simply trying to find your way back to yourself, we’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported.  

I believe therapy works best when it is rooted in trust, authenticity, and honest connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported—while also gently challenged toward the growth and healing you are seeking. Clients often describe me as warm, insightful, direct, and deeply engaged in the therapeutic process. I value authenticity in the therapy room and believe meaningful change happens when we are willing to look honestly at both the pain you carry and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My approach balances emotional depth with practical guidance. I want clients to leave therapy with more than insight alone—I want them to develop the self-understanding, emotional clarity, and practical tools needed to create lasting change in their lives and relationships. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they do the courageous work of healing old wounds, growing in self-awareness, and becoming more fully themselves.  

Are you longing for greater peace, clarity, or a steadier sense of yourself? Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to slow down, increase awareness of your inner experience, and gently explore patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I provide a thoughtful and compassionate therapeutic relationship grounded in presence, respect, and collaboration. Together, we create a steady space where insight can deepen, emotional resilience can strengthen, and a more grounded sense of self can emerge. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your own clarity and capacity for growth.  

Are you constantly giving to others while quietly carrying anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt? Do you notice yourself people-pleasing, feeling nervous in relationships, or worrying about letting down the people you care about? On the outside, everything may seem fine, but inside you may long to feel secure, confident, and more like yourself. You don’t have to face this alone. There is a way forward, and we’ll navigate it together, with me supporting you every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe trauma-informed space. Using mindfulness and somatic practices, we’ll work to help you feel empowered and more connected to yourself. You’ll leave sessions feeling seen, understood, and equipped with practical tools to care for yourself and deepen your connections with others. If you are an adult, especially a woman in your 20s or 30s, seeking compassionate individualized support, you are in the right place. Reach out today for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Your path to healing and self discovery starts here.  

I am caring and non-judgmental; I realize that talking about problems can be difficult; however, clients find that sharing their concerns with an objective therapist enables them to progress to solutions quickly. I recognize that people seek therapy when what they have tried previously did not work.  

If you are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, or other mental health challenges, I am here for you. I have more than 6 years of medical experience. I have specialized training in psychiatric mental health, and I have worked in crisis stabilization and outpatient behavioral health settings, supporting individuals with diverse mental health needs.  

I believe that healing happens through authentic connection, unconditional dignity, and deep equity. Therapy should always fit the person, not the other way around. As a therapist and the founder of Full Circle Mental Health LLC, my mission is to provide a soft place to land for individuals, couples, and blended families who are navigating life’s heaviest seasons. I view mental wellness through a systemic lens, understanding that who we are is deeply shaped by our environments, our relationships, and the burdens we inherit. My commitment to human rights and systemic healing extends far beyond the virtual therapy room. My clinical perspective is profoundly shaped by my volunteer work within the community, where I dedicate time to supporting foster youth navigating complex systemic cycles, walking alongside survivors of sex trafficking as they reclaim their autonomy, and advocating for immediate dignity and resources for the unhoused population. Facing these systemic vulnerabilities head-on has reinforced my belief that every human being deserves a safe, fiercely non-judgmental space to process their wounds and rediscover their innate power. In my practice, I blend this deep empathy and cultural humility with advanced clinical expertise. Holding a Master of Social Work (MSW) and a license as an Independent Social Worker (LISW), I am extensively trained in comprehensive clinical assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. I practice from an eclectic, integrative framework, drawing dynamically from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Bowenian Family Systems. Whether you are an individual untangling daily anxiety or religious deconstruction, a couple healing attachment injuries, or a blended family managing the unique friction of merging households, we will work as collaborative partners. Together, we will honor your resilience, build practical tools, and co-create a personalized roadmap toward lasting relational peace and authentic change.

I'm Jason Polk, LCSW, LAC — a licensed clinical social worker, couples therapist, and addiction counselor with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples build more connected, resilient lives. My journey into this work began in my own relationships, including a painful divorce that showed me firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in patterns of disconnection and misunderstanding. Those experiences didn’t just shape my career — they fuel it. I’m trained in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Level II PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), Clini-Coach® methods, and other relational frameworks that help people understand not just what is hurting but also why—and how to move toward trust, safety, and genuine connection. I work with couples and individuals facing communication challenges, trust injuries, life transitions, the impact of addiction on relationships, and daily stresses that quietly weaken closeness. I believe therapy should be honest, grounded, and compassionate — a space where insight leads to real-world change.  

Sally is a master at working with singles who have relationship issues (or are looking to get into a relationship). She knows how to help you figure out what you want, feel like you deserve it, and then, make it more likely that your dreams become reality. She can quickly help you identify places where you get stuck or get in your own way and work with you to make change happen fast.

She has experience helping people with relationship distress, mood disorders, anxiety, impulsive behavior, oppositional defiant disorder, and teens at risk for personality disorders. Besides singles and teens, Sally really knows her DBT and has taught the skills to all ages in groups and individual sessions. *Sally is also intensively trained in Radically-Open DBT (RO-DBT), a specialized treatment for Chronic Depression, Anorexia-Nervosa, and disorders of Over-Control (OC). Radically-Open DBT promotes openness, flexibility, and direct communication. *  

My clients typically experience some level of dissatisfaction in their lives that may manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, despair, shame, or frustration. These feelings are indicators of something deeper at work that needs attending in an environment that is safe and caring, with dignity and respect, and with competence. I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you in working through your concerns.  

You've been carrying too much for too long. The anxiety that won't quit. The depression that makes everything harder than it should be. The relationship that feels stuck. The past that keeps showing up uninvited. We help individuals and couples do the hard work that leads to real change. In-person appointments in Chicago. Telehealth across Illinois. Insurance accepted. Accepting new clients.  

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and believe relationships are at the heart of what makes us healthy and happy. I am honored to have worked in the field for over 25 years, helping people heal, grow, and have meaningful lives. My current work is exclusively with partners who are committed to strengthening and transforming their relationship. My approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, one of the most researched and effective approaches to couples therapy. In addition to certification in Gottman Method Therapy, I also bring specialized training as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, helping couples navigate intimacy, communication, desire differences, and sexual concerns with compassion and expertise. Together, we work to build deeper connection, trust, and lasting change in your relationship.  

I work with people who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—whether that shows up as emotional intensity, mood swings, or relationships that keep playing out the same way. My style is engaged, curious, attuned, and honest. We’ll take the time to understand what’s happening and why, while also building the awareness and skills needed to respond differently.  

As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their identities, heal from past experiences, and reconnect with their sense of worth. I believe healing begins in spaces where we feel seen, heard, and validated. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed care, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived story. I support clients in navigating identity development, family dynamics, neurodivergence, and gender‑affirming journeys with compassion and steadiness. My intention is to meet clients exactly where they are and walk alongside them as they build clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.
