I enjoy working with individuals through the journey of achieving the goals they have with counseling or even just helping them figure out their goals. I feel like individuals are who they are based on their experiences and that when we give them time to view experiences from a holistic view point, they will recognize that they are powerful.

Counseling is not something that is necessarily a quick fix, but you will hopefully walk away with some insight on how you can move forward in a positive and healthy manner.

I recognize the impact being a member of a marginalized group can have on someone and respect the needs of all of these populations. I look forward to answering any of your questions and assisting you on your journey.

Hi, I’m Kat. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m passionate about walking alongside folks as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strengths. I work with kids, teens, and adults who are facing a range of struggles—whether it’s healing from trauma, coping with grief or big life changes, managing tough relationships, or exploring who they are and what gives their life meaning.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I care deeply about creating a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and stress. I believe that every person’s story matters, and your care should reflect your unique needs and goals.

Hi! I'm Stephanie. I've been in the behavioral health space for nearly 20 years, and I am so happy you are here. I would love to join you on your own journey.

Hi, my name is Dr. Mark Aghakhan and I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in a variety of therapeutic, educative, consultative, and evaluative services. I utilize interventions that best match my client’s style and approach toward everyday challenges.

My name is Nicole Washington, and while my full name is Catherine Nicole Washington, I’ve always gone by my middle name. (A fun fact: I didn’t even realize Catherine was my first name until kindergarten—I thought my mom was Catherine and my name was “Cole” because that’s what everyone called me!)

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Capella University, driven by a lifelong desire to help others—one that was deeply shaped by my own personal journey with mental health challenges. I believe healing is possible, not just because I’ve studied it, but because I’ve lived it.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including partial hospitalization programs, and I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults. My background also includes work with domestic violence survivors, DCFS-involved families, group therapy, and individuals navigating complex life transitions. Oh and I’m also a the spouse of a Veteran. Which gives me a unique perspective of the challenges that military family’s may encounter. These diverse experiences allow me to meet clients where they are—with compassion, understanding, and respect.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the mental health field for nearly 40 years, I use compassion and humor to create a space for clients to feel safe and comfortable. My aim is for clients to feel seen and heard, gain awareness of themselves and their experiences, and learn tools to navigate life's challenges and reach their goals. I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to change, to grow, and to accomplish their goals. If you are experiencing difficulties or challenges in your life, with yourself, with others, with your job, and/or with your family, I can help you get to where you want to be.

You will find my therapeutic approach is mixed with empathy, humor, and at times, directness. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and I have worked in education, predominantly in community college settings for about 14 years. I understand the unique challenges that college-aged and adults face during periods of change and uncertainty. My therapeutic approach is flexible and tailored to each individual. I integrate person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, strength-based, and solution-focused approaches to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. I look forward to working with you.

Hi, I'm Latosha Haywood, LCPC, with a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and I'm really glad you're here.

Before I became a therapist, I spent years as a 911 call taker, showing up for people in some of their scariest, most overwhelming moments. That work taught me something I carry into every session: that people are so much stronger than they realize, and that having someone truly in your corner can make all the difference.

If you're going through something hard right now, whether it's the heaviness of anxiety or depression, the echoes of past trauma, or just feeling like life has knocked you off balance, I want you to know that you don't have to figure it out alone. My door is open, and you can come exactly as you are.
