Northbrook Therapists specializing in Parenting

Jessica Myszak

I like being able to help guide families toward treatments that will be most beneficial. I take a lot of pride in being able to help individuals learn about themselves or their child and learn what they can do moving forward. I want you to walk away from an evaluation with clear steps of your or your child’s strengths and needs, along with what to do next.

Denise Ambre

Denise’s practice specialties include treating adults and adolescents struggling with depression, stress and anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, relationship concerns, and attachment issues. She also provides couples counseling, family therapy, and parenting support.

Ilyssa Lasky

Do you feel that anxiety, stress and panic are taking a toll on you body and the mind? Have you been hit with anxiety about your child's wellbeing or concerned they have anxiety? I know what you're feeling. Being a parent is hard work. If only there was a guide book, right? I am here to support you and work with you, your children, and/or your spouse. Mindfulness based practices can reduce anxiety significantly, and I look forward to teaching tools to take back your life.

Christina Vargas

Are you longing to feel emotionally safe and secure despite being buried under life stressors and mental obstacles? This is a part of being human, but that does not mean you have to go through it alone. If you are ready to commit to the journey of self-love to see and live your full potential and be the best version of yourself, I look forward to guiding you through therapy. Investing in your mental health is worth it and you deserve to prioritize yourself, your health, and your happiness.

Angel Buchanan

Pressures from society often create a fear of judgment and shame. In turn, we learn to edit our thoughts and emotions without realizing it and feel further away from living an authentic and meaningful life. I believe that having a regular place where you can expect to speak freely and without judgment can bring you closer to feeling a sense of control in forging your life. I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating and aim to support you in this initial transition.

Meggie Twible

I specialize in supporting folks around concerns of gender and sexual identity development, intimacy, anxiety, depression, and grief. My work is organized around trauma. I see trauma in painful and self-shattering violence, and in the daily task of living under oppressive systems that seek to isolate and dehumanize us. I understand that there are many paths to healing, and I look forward to supporting you in yours.

Carly Wolfram

Therapy is an important place to explore many different areas within a person’s life. I believe that developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship is key to therapy. I strive to personalize the treatment of every client because therapy is not a 'one size' fits all concept. Empower yourself by mastering hard to manage emotions and build a mindful life. I strongly believe in the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, as every individual is unique.

Michelle Magida

Individual therapy is one step in the therapeutic process. Parents are encouraged to be an active member in the process by supporting their child as they venture through their feelings to elicit change.

Hilary Davis

Our lives are filled with small and large challenges that we learn to navigate daily. But what happens when you get stuck? When there is difficulty finding ways of handling issues on your own? Challenges can be viewed negatively but they can also be used as a positive tool for change that can lead to stronger relationships with the right support. I encourage my clients to increase their resilience by developing the skills to grow whether individually, as a couple, or in a family system.

Amy Wagner

On the journey through life we move through an ever changing landscape. We encounter both predictable challenges precipitated by typical life cycle events as well as the unpredictable and unexpected. Sometimes we veer off course, lose our way or hit a road block. Lifecycle Therapy provides the guidance needed to try a new path and find our way forward again. http://www.lifecycletherapyt.net

Dana Rivera

I work with teens and adults who are looking to make change in some area of their life, obtain personal growth, and gain better understanding of themselves. Life is hard; there's no easy way to put it. We all need support from time to time and I hope that I can be a consistent support system for my clients to help them get to where they want to be.

Megan Brady

I work with Kids (8+), Teens, and Adults dealing with Grief and Loss, Medical Issues, Life Changes, Teen Issues, Depression, Anxiety, Family Changes and Challenges, and School Issues.

Kenan Pojskic

Have you ever found it difficult communicating with those closest to you? Or maybe have a difficult time handling arguments and disagreements with your loved ones? Communication is the key to every healthy relationship, and I am willing to join you and those closest to you on a journey to having a richer and more meaningful relationships. Throughout this journey, we will explore how anxiety, depression, and other obstacles are preventing you from reaching your full potential.

Elizabeth Bierbaum Clarke

I see adults of all ages, genders and identities. I sit with my clients to address a wide variety of mental health and wellness challenges such as depression and anxiety, grief, perinatal and postpartum care, ADD/ADHD, parenting, self-image/self-esteem, and adjustments to big life changes. I also provide clinical supervision and consultation on practice development to fellow psychotherapists.

Sergio Hernández

I strive to help clients through transitions. Anxiety and depression, like other psychological maladies, arise when people stop looking at themselves honestly and acceptingly. They are also recognized by their ability to disrupt the balance of the mind, resulting in unwholesome behavior which may give rise to suffering for ourselves and others. I aim to restore balance and to create honest acceptance.

Rachel Albers

l have experience working with people of all ages who are struggling with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief/loss, parenting difficulties, other life stressors, & LGBTQIA+ folks. I am passionate about helping you understand your inherent value & form a holistic sense of self, through the therapeutic relationship.

Catherine Boyce

You deserve a life without the grip of anxiety and loneliness. You have a lot of responsibilities and many people rely on you, but there has been little energy left to take care of yourself. You may look successful and like you have it all together but on the inside, you don't feel connected in your relationships or even with yourself. You wonder if it is always going to be this way. From panic, to anxiety, to feeling utterly alone, I am here to help.

Cheryl Weiss

Are you aware of the intention about not doing the work or correcting the behavior or feeling unmotivated? Are you afraid of your feelings exploding when there are unpleasant events happening in your life? I can perhaps break that down for you to help with unpacking the things that you have been putting on hold because of shame & pain you dealt with. These feelings & thoughts are totally valid & I hope to help you engage in the process of stepping outside of your comfort zone to heal & grow.

Anna Grinshpun

Taylor Newendorp

A vast majority of the clients I have had the privilege of working with are highly intelligent, creative, and kind people who have recognized that doubt, fear, and other symptoms of Anxiety and OCD are interfering with their ability to live their lives the way they would prefer. I am passionate about helping others improve their overall quality of life and work towards meaningful, fulfilling personal goals.
