Therapists in {{providerLocation}}

My name is Susan O’Connell. I am an experienced Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master’s Degree from Loyola University Chicago and specialized training in Family and Couples Therapy at the Chicago Center for Family Health. For over 29 years, I have worked extensively with individual adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children. I create a warm, accepting atmosphere in which to work with clients and find solutions. I help identify my clients’ strengths and resiliencies.

I was drawn to therapy after witnessing mental health's impact on my peers and family. I learned early how important it is to address social and emotional well-being throughout life transitions. I enjoy helping others become their best selves. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism spectrum challenges. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients make progress and start feeling better. We'll work together to define what you want to accomplish. This starts by building a trusting relationship, collaboratively setting goals, and tracking your progress along the way.

Are you or your child facing learning, social, behavioral, or mental health challenges? You’re not alone, and seeking support is a powerful first step. With over 30 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with both neurodiverse and neurotypical children, teens, and adults to improve educational, social, mental health and behavioral functioning. Together, we’ll identify your unique strengths and concerns, set meaningful goals, and create a personalized and strength-based plan. My philosophy is to provide a validating and safe therapeutic journey together.

I’ve always been a deep feeler. As a kid, books were my escape hatch—doorways into liminal worlds where I could breathe and make sense of all the energy I was taking in. As a teen, I navigated depression and anxiety. Beginning therapy changed everything. It gave me a consistent place to be fully myself, learn how to meet panic with presence, and move toward a future I couldn’t yet see—graduating high school, then college. In 2021, I finally said yes to the path I’d always wanted: becoming a therapist. I completed my graduate work at National University and, in 2023, began training with Somatic Experiencing® International, deepening my work with the nervous system. I’ve since supported people moving through psychosis and complex trauma within a community model that centers around relationship, repair, and connection. I’ve been sober since 2022. That choice opened new layers of intuition, dreamwork, and somatic practice—more presence, more listening, more capacity.

Hi! I'm Kelly Miltenberger, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I work towards recognizing your existing skills and strengths and helping you to expand those into stronger, more adaptable ones to help you achieve your goals. For over 15 years I have been working with children and adults from diverse populations and cultural backgrounds.

My name is Heather Brown. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been a therapist for 18 years and worked with a wide-array of clients in many walks of life.

I work for you and my job is to help you have an easier time on your journey through life and help you to meet your goals.

Hey I’m Claire, I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. During my time with clients, I aim to provide a safe space through a client centered approach where we work together with what you bring to therapy. I work from a lens of creativity — meaning each session will be unique to you by incorporating your strengths and interests in order to empower you to find a meaningful way of expression that feels both comfortable and safe. I lead with empathy and my belief that people are capable of change and can use our strengths to navigate life’s bumps.

I’m someone who believes that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationships where we feel safe enough to be real. As a therapist, I show up with warmth, honesty, and deep respect for your story. I’m especially drawn to working with people who’ve had to hold it all together for others, often at the expense of themselves. If you grew up feeling unseen, like you had to shrink yourself to stay safe or lovable, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing it that way. In our work together, I’ll meet you with curiosity and compassion. I’m here to help you understand where your patterns come from, reconnect with the parts of yourself that got buried, and figure out what healing actually looks like for you. There’s no pressure to be perfect—just space to be honest, explore what matters, and feel a little more free.

I have been working with children, adolescents, and families since 1999, and have since dedicated my life work to serving families and children improve their lives. I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist since 2014.

My experience has been in school settings working with children with autism and behavioral difficulties, in government setting with children who have been marginalized and abused, and in both outpatient settings and hospital settings.

Hello there, Are you feeling disconnected? Either from yourself or others? Are you so overwhelmed that you can't seem to regulate your emotions enough to achieve your goals or be present in your relationships? Does grief, trauma, depression, or anxiety seem to be the rulers of your life? If so, I can help. I always joke that when you see what a therapist specializes in, it's because they have lived it. Intense grief, overwhelming emotions, trauma that gets in the way of relationships, anxiety, depression and disconnection are all things that I have dealt with in the past. If you relate to any of these, I can be present with you and provide true understanding for what you are going through because I have also lived it.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I believe healing begins when you’re met with both honesty and compassion. I work with adults of all ages navigating the tender in-between spaces—figuring out who they are, where they’re headed, and what’s been weighing them down. My heart is especially drawn to first-generation college students, survivors of abuse, and anyone feeling a little unmoored in life. You don’t have to come in with answers. Together, we’ll untangle the knots, explore what’s been silenced, and gently reshape the narrative. My role is to hold space, reflect your strength, and help you shape a life that feels like home.

Welcome to your first step into a new therapeutic journey. I aim to create a safe, compassionate therapeutic environment that allows you to explore strengths and empower you to have more control over your life. I have helped clients gain new skills and explore experiences that can get in the way of their current happiness. Whether they are struggling with depression, anxiety, identity, and/or relationships, I focus on helping clients feel happier and more confident in their everyday lives.

As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I hold deep respect for those who are new to therapy or returning to it.

My approach is informed by a blend of professional expertise and personal insights, aiming to offer compassionate, effective care to each of my clients.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will actually listen—who won’t dismiss your concerns or pathologize your pain—you’re in the right place. Maybe you're wondering if you have ADHD, autism, or anxiety. Maybe you've been masking for years and don’t know where to start. Maybe you're carrying trauma, grief, or a deep sense that something has always felt a little off. I work with people who’ve spent too long feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or minimized—and are ready for something different. You don’t need a perfect narrative. You don’t need to show up polished. You don’t even need to be sure what you need yet. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in working with neurodivergent and emotionally complex clients—including first responders, trauma survivors, and members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I have a Master’s in Clinical Counseling, a Master’s in Forensic Psychology, and I’m currently completing a Ph.D. in Forensic Psychology. I combine clinical insight with curiosity, humor, and a belief in your capacity to grow—even if it’s messy.

I have extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, applied behavioral analysis, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from one or a combination of these methodologies based on what will be most beneficial for each individual. Additionally, humanistic and Adlerian psychology have significantly influenced my perspective, shaping my practice into an eclectic framework. I believe that there is no single ‘best’ therapeutic approach—only what is best suited for the individual seeking support. My diverse training allows me to tailor interventions to meet the unique and specific needs of each client, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.

Welcome! Taking the step to seek therapy is a courageous move, and it’s a powerful indicator that you’re ready to embrace positive change. This journey can feel daunting, but it’s a testament to your openness and commitment to creating a life filled with hope, fulfillment, and new possibilities. I specialize in supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, food-related issues, and trauma. I also offer guidance to stressed parents of children with special needs. My approach is centered around two main goals: first, helping you achieve regulation in your body and nervous system, and second, fostering a compassionate understanding of your mind’s patterns to guide it towards healthier choices. Because mental health is deeply personal, I tailor my approach to what best suits your needs. We might use a top-down approach, focusing on thoughts, beliefs, and values, or a bottom-up approach that listens to your body's sensations and messages. Often, a combination of both methods works best. I draw from a range of techniques, including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and various somatic interventions. Together, we’ll explore which methods resonate most with you and create a path forward that aligns with your unique journey.

I’m a licensed therapist who combines straight talk, deep empathy, and a bit of humor to help people untangle the patterns that keep them stuck and build lives that actually fit them. I work collaboratively and experientially—pulling from CBT, DBT, and narrative approaches—to help you make sense of your story, strengthen your resilience, and create practical change in the real world.

Are you looking for a space where you can be your authentic self?

I encourage all of my clients to participate in sessions in a way where they feel most comfortable and true to themselves.

Choosing a therapist can be challenging and confusing and one might ask, what does therapy involve? From my experience Therapy involves developing a very special relationship between a professionally licensed practitioner called a therapist and one or more people seeking to collaboratively define and achieve constructive change. This relationship is referred to as the therapeutic bond and is considered one of the most important parts of successful therapy. As such our first step in therapy is, from day one, to form that bond by establishing a trusting, non-shaming environment where any adolescent, person, couple, or family will feel safe and sense the therapist listens, cares, responds appropriately and understands. Therapy on my behalf will involve empathy, genuineness, and mindful acceptance while we collaboratively establish therapeutic changes / goals which you feel are both desired and are ready to work forward and achieve. Our sessions will involve the language of change as perceived by you the client(s), and constructive finding of solutions. You will be able to present your story without fear of rejection dismissal, guilt or shame. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I am very effective with adolescents and young adults, and people working in the stressful world of business, hi tech and active military service members, and veterans. During my time as a therapist, I have built a reputation as a caring, effective therapist who has my client’s best interests at heart. If you feel a connection or that contacting me could be of value, I would be very happy to hear from you. Until such time I wish you the very best in your quest. Sincerely, Mike Michael Durrigan Ca. LMFT (131635)
