Dr. Imuentiyan Igbinosun, PsyD
Post-Doctoral Psychology Fellow
In life, people look for answers and I believe the answers lie within each of us. I strive to help individuals make their thoughts and goals clearer so that individuals can find answers during times of heavy clouds and dark skies. Through processing, learning effective tools, and techniques to manage high stress and anxiety, I work with my clients to get them to a more comprehensive sense of self. That self they have always dreamed of being and that self they, unconsciously, already are. In doing so, processing the past and the present to develop how my clients want their future to look will be a journey of healing and finding balance.
Through online therapy, I work from an integrative approach primarily utilizing Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic interventions with Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral theories. I am extensively trained in Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic and Dialectical Behavioral therapies. I strive to help individuals identify patterns in current relationships and behaviors that stem from past experiences, both from past attachment, as well as environmentally learned. I take a collaborative approach through processing, learning effective tools, and applying techniques to manage high stress and anxiety. I have experience working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma-related concerns, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, phase of life adjustments, personality disorders, identity and LGBTQIA+ related concerns.
I earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Adler University in Chicago, IL and my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Chicago, IL. I have worked in private practices, intensive outpatient programs and college counseling settings as I enjoy working with young adults, middle-aged adults, individually, couples and in group therapy.

Dr. Breanne Taylor, PsyD
Post-Doctoral Psychology Fellow
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount in fostering change. It is through an open, nonjudgmental, and safe environment that clients can explore and grow into their most authentic selves and lead more fulfilling lives. My approach emphasizes how our past and present experiences shape how we relate to others and the world around us. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and utilize an integrative and collaborative approach that incorporates aspects of Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Feminist, Relational, and Strengths-Based approaches.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirming and sex positive therapist who welcomes clients who are part of the kink and poly/consensual non-monogamy communities. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
I have extensive experience in various settings, including substance abuse facilities, community mental health centers, and therapeutic day schools. I work with a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, developmental disorders, impulse control, and relationship challenges. I am now also offering online therapy to better support my clients.

Dr. Kristin Amicone, Psy.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Finding balance in this unpredictable world can sometimes seem unachievable. Together, we can find a balance that best fits you. My goal for therapy is teaching you the skills needed to find your balance so you can flourish in your daily life. Whatever your journey has been, I will help you implement knowledge and tools to overcome barriers from the past, present, and future. I am here to listen from a neutral perspective with expertise in psychological health and the influence it can have on the rest of our biological system. My clinical skills reflect all ages across the lifespan as I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. With this, I am flexible in aiding in treatment among various cohorts and in a multitude of settings.
Through my training in health service psychology at Kansas City University, I was able to work closely with medical students in training to become knowledgeable in the process of collaborative care. I am willing to work with you and any of your providers to ensure advocacy for your comprehensive wellbeing. You will not feel alone or unheard throughout our treatment together as I will work collaboratively with you to ensure the best care.
The evidence-based treatments I commonly use in practice include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused therapy (SFT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT). I am well versed in neurocognitive deficit interventions, mood disturbances, substance use interventions, and trauma processing. Additionally, I have done extensive research in women’s health issues including PMDD, postpartum depression and anxiety, and other menstrual conditions.
Online therapy provided in Florida and Illinois for adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Dr. Patrick Casey, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I obtained my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago IL, and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in Chicago. I have 25+ years of psychotherapy experience in different settings, including private practice, outpatient mental health clinic, inpatient neurorehabilitation unit, inpatient psychiatry and long-term care facility. I am available to provide psychotherapy in-person or online, based on client’s preference.
As I welcome and accept the individual differences (race, sexual identity, gender etc..) my client’s bring to therapy, we work together to identify and focus on the strengths inherent within them. My approach to psychotherapy is client centered, holistic and eclectic with an emphasis on creating a safe and culturally respectful environment. I firmly believe in the client as an expert of their inner self (emotions/thoughts/conflicts) as I gently guide and support them on their journey to self-actualization. Evidence based treatment techniques used can include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT); Motivational Interviewing; Mindfulness; Positive Psychology (PPT); and Gestalt Therapy, among others. We will develop a treatment plan together and reevaluate it at agreed upon intervals.
I have acquired extensive training and experience in addressing: PTSD/Trauma; anxiety; panic disorders; LGBTQIA+ concerns; gender dysphoria; depression/grief; end of life issues; bipolar disorder; diversity/culture issues; negative impacts of prejudice/microaggressions; relationship conflicts and adjustment disorders.
I offer individual and couples therapy for adolescents and adults (ages 13 to infinity), both in-person and online.

كانت جامعة أدلر مهمة بالنسبة لي بسبب تركيزها على العدالة الاجتماعية والمشاركة المجتمعية. كوني جزءًا من مجتمع شيكاغو قد فتح عيني لأنني أصلاً من بلدة صغيرة. كوني سمكة صغيرة في بركة كبيرة أتاح لي الفرص والخبرات التي أشعر أنها ساعدتني على النمو كمستشار.
لقد اكتسبت خبرة علاجية من العمل في البيئات السكنية مثل مدارس شيكاغو العامة ومراكز إقامة الأحداث ومراكز الأزمات. شغفي ينطوي على العمل مع الأطفال والمراهقين والشباب مع تعزيز التنوع. أقدم العلاج الفردي والجماعي والأسري. تتكون خبرتي من معالجة مجموعة من مشكلات الصحة العقلية بما في ذلك الاكتئاب والقلق واضطراب السلوك واضطراب العناد الشارد واضطراب نقص الانتباه وفرط الحركة (ADHD) واضطراب التكيف والغضب.
نهجي متكامل يجمع بين الممارسات القائمة على الأدلة بما في ذلك العلاج الذي يركز على العميل ، والعلاج السلوكي المعرفي ، والعلاج السلوكي الجدلي ، والعلاج Adlerian. يشمل مجال تخصصي استخدام العلاج باللعب. العلاج باللعب هو أسلوب علاج نفسي يستخدم في المقام الأول لمساعدة الأفراد على التعبير بحرية عن مشاعرهم وأفكارهم من خلال استخدام اللعب. اللعب العلاجي هو وسيلة بالنسبة لي لمساعدة الأفراد في القضايا الأكاديمية أو السلوكية أو الاجتماعية أو العاطفية مع أولئك الذين يعبرون عن التواصل بشكل مختلف. التواصل اللفظي ليس متاحًا لنا جميعًا ويمكن أن يكون مخيفًا. أفضل التعرف على شخص ما أثناء القيام بشيء نشط أو ممتع.
شغفي هو مساعدة عملائي للوصول إلى أقصى إمكاناتهم باستخدام قوتهم لتعزيز الاستقلال. يتضمن أسلوبي في العلاج مقابلة عملائي حيث هم حاليًا. هدفي هو تقديم تجربة استشارية فريدة وحقيقية حيث يمكن للمرء أن يشعر بالقبول لكونه على طبيعته. أسعى لتوفير مساحة آمنة وتعاونية للمساعدة في تطوير الثقة لتسهيل نمو العلاقة العلاجية.

لدينا جميعًا نقاط قوة فطرية فريدة من نوعها تخلق ذهولنا الداخلي. ومع ذلك ، في بعض الأحيان ننسى أو نفتقر إلى المهارات اللازمة لرعاية هذه الصفات عندما تستهلكنا فوضى حياتنا اليومية. من خلال التعرف على هذه الصفات وتطويرها ، سنتعرف على و "نمتلك ما لدينا من روعة." معًا ، سنتخذ الخطوات الأولى في رحلتك لتعظيم إمكاناتك الكاملة. سنحدد ونعمل على المجالات التي تتعثر فيها ، لزيادة توافقك مع قيمك ، بينما نطور ممارسات تخلق تحولات تغير حياتك ونتائج دائمة.
أنا مستشار محترف مرخص. أكملت ماجستير التربية في استشارات الصحة العقلية السريرية من جامعة ديبول في شيكاغو. طوال مسيرتي المهنية ، شغلت مناصب في العلاج في العيادات الخارجية وبرامج العلاج الداخلي. لقد عملت مع مجموعات سكانية وأعمار متنوعة بما في ذلك المراهقين والمراهقين والبالغين والأفراد الذين يعانون من مشاكل الصحة العقلية والصحة البدنية المزمنة. أستخدم نهجًا تكامليًا لتقنيات ديناميكية نفسية تعتمد على نقاط القوة وتركز على الشخص. أنا أؤمن بشدة بأهمية التحالف العلاجي وأن العملاء يجب أن يشعروا بالأمان والدعم. سنتعاون في كل جلسة على علاجك لمساعدتك على تلبية احتياجاتك وأهدافك الشخصية.

Real change starts when you decide you’re ready for something different.

Over the past 7 years I have worked with individuals navigating crises, managing chronic mental health conditions, and working through complex emotional and life challenges. Providing a safe place for all to be vulnerable is a top priority, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community as I recognize and understand the importance of affirming care.
You can expect honesty, compassion, and clarity in our work together. I’m direct in my communication, but always guided by your goals, values, and pace.

I received my Masters’ degree from the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and my Bachelors’ degree in Sociology from Vanderbilt University. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I have spent most of my career working in community outpatient behavioral health, but have also spent a substantial time in a multi-disciplinary medical group setting and a child advocacy center. I enjoy and have training in working with individuals across the life- spectrum, as well as with families and couples.
As a seasoned therapist, I see myself as more than just a facilitator—I aim to be a partner in unlocking your inner resources and strengths.

Eleanor Wolfe, LCSW
Psychotherapist
I am a Licensed Psychotherapist/Certified Addictions Counselor/Certified Grief Counselor, and I offer interactive, action-oriented therapy with a personalized approach. I meet with emerging adults, families and seniors who are challenged with mood disorders, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, vocational challenges, life transitions and self-esteem issues. I entered the psychotherapy profession with the core belief of that my mental health work was to relieve the suffering and heartbreak of people trying to cope with the most difficult moments of their lives. Finding success in healing that pain can lead to hope and strength.
My experience spans a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties and encourages the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. Through this powerful relationship, clients learn to explore meaningful connections in their lives; relationships with partners, spouses, friends, co-workers, children, grandchildren and strengthen the connection to the self. Stuck in the past or fear the future?
As a witness and a guide, I am at your side to navigate the difficult and the uncertain with confidence and courage. I integrate a variety of tools (psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavior, acceptance commitment theory, dialectical behavior, solution-based theory and evidence-based intervention) to support your needs in the moment. You will be able to learn how to use your own special ability to cope and thrive. Most importantly, I provide you with a safe space to feel heard while challenging you to sort out and defeat obstacles that have kept you living the life you want and deserve. To your resilience and health!

Joey Ye, LPC
Psychotherapist
I believe every person carries an innate capacity for growth and self-understanding, even when life experiences, relationships, and societal pressures have left them feeling isolated, ashamed, or inadequate. My work is grounded in psychodynamic principles, with a focus on helping clients know themselves more deeply, uncover the roots of their struggles, and move toward lasting change. I aim to create a space where you can slow down, step away from the noise, and truly listen to yourself.
My goal is to offer a collaborative environment where you can gain insight, develop new ways of relating to yourself and others, and live more authentically. In our sessions, we may explore the stories you tell yourself, the relationships that have shaped you, and the coping strategies you’ve adopted — even those that no longer serve you. This is not about quick fixes, but about fostering the safety and space for insight, healing, and meaningful change to take root. I believe therapy works best as a shared journey where your voice, pace, and readiness guide the process.
I have experience working with clients navigating depression, anxiety, anger management challenges, and complex trauma histories, as well as individuals from diverse cultural, ethnic, and sexual orientation backgrounds. I value meeting each person where they are, approaching our work together with curiosity, respect, and compassion as we explore your history, relationships, and present concerns.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I offer therapy for individuals and couples in English and Mandarin.

Eden, Conroy, LPC
Psychotherapist
I believe every person carries a unique capacity for growth and healing. Progress isn’t always linear, and it never looks exactly the same for two people. My goal is to be a steady, compassionate partner in your process—offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, identity exploration, and depression. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from person-centered and strengths-based therapy, integrate cognitive behavioral strategies, and—when helpful for younger clients—use play therapy to support expression and skill-building. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan that fits your goals and keeps us focused on what’s working.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Iowa. My clinical experience spans work with kids, teens, and adults in a variety of settings, and I value bringing curiosity, cultural humility, and practical tools to each session.
I offer therapy in person (both Evanston and Ravenswood) and online for clients across Illinois.

Nicole Yan, LSW
Psychotherapist
My approach to therapy is grounded in mutual respect, openness, and acceptance. Together, we create a safe space to explore the personal and emotional challenges you may be facing. I believe that each person has an innate capacity for gentleness, warmth, wisdom, and compassion, and I support clients in reconnecting with these qualities to heal their own suffering.
I enjoy walking alongside individuals on their journeys and helping them nurture both their inner and outer worlds with kindness and awareness. My work draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic techniques, client-centered approaches, mindfulness, self-compassion practices, and Buddhist psychology. I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, spirituality, relationship issues, substance use, and gender identity.
I hold graduate degrees in both Social Work (MSW) and Divinity (MDiv) from the University of Chicago. My background also includes work as a hospital chaplain, where I integrated contemplative practices into patient care. For several years, I have facilitated a weekly meditation group to support community growth and healing. I am fluent in both English and Chinese.

Adam Glickman
Counseling Intern
I view therapy as a meaningful opportunity for self-discovery, growth, and positive change. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves and exploring the experiences that have shaped who they are. I recognize that each person brings unique strengths, identities, relationships, and life experiences to therapy, and I strive to meet clients with openness, curiosity, and respect. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding while building on the strengths clients already possess.
My therapeutic approach draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Adlerian theory. Through CBT, I help clients explore the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and identify patterns that may be contributing to distress. My Adlerian training emphasizes strengths, relationships, belonging, community, and the social contexts that influence our lives. My education at Adler University has also strengthened my understanding of social justice and the ways cultural, societal, and systemic factors can affect mental health and well-being.
I am interested in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other personal challenges. I am especially committed to creating an affirming and inclusive therapeutic environment for clients across diverse gender identities, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. I want clients to feel that they do not need to minimize or set aside important parts of their identity in order to feel understood and supported in therapy.
Prior to my clinical training, I worked on the Justice Beat and Justice Youth Talk Shows, where I explored issues related to incarceration, the criminal justice system, and social justice. These experiences deepened my interest in understanding not only the individual challenges people face, but also the relationships, communities, and larger systems that can shape their experiences.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from DePaul University and am currently completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adler University. As a counseling intern, I provide therapy under clinical supervision as I continue developing my skills and experience as a mental health professional.
