Dr. Terry Dornak, Psy.D., CCATP
Klinički psiholog | Klinički direktor
Doktorirao sam psihologiju i magistrirao na The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Svoje terapeutsko iskustvo stekao sam ne samo radeći u privatnoj praksi već i kroz rad u rezidencijalnim ustanovama.
Moj cilj je da se osjeća svaka osoba koja uđe u moju kancelariju udobno i prihvaćeno. Poštujem kulturu, pol, rasu i seksualni identitet svakog pojedinca. Ja sam strastven u svom polju i vjerujem da je svaki pojedinac koji dođe u moju kancelariju jedinstven. Koristim integrirani pristup koji uključuje kognitivnu bihejvioralnu terapiju, terapiju dijalektičkog ponašanja i psihodinamske tehnike. Radim sa svakim klijentom na izradi plana tretmana koji zadovoljava njegove ili njene lične potrebe i ciljeve. Uživam u radu sa decom, adolescentima i odraslima, pružam individualnu, porodičnu, kao i terapiju odnosa.
Imam veliko iskustvo i obuku u liječenju poremećaja raspoloženja, poremećaja ličnosti, anksioznosti, upotrebe supstanci i ljutnje. Osim toga, specijalizirao sam se za liječenje psiholoških borbi koje su često povezane s kroničnim bolom, uključujući anksioznost, depresiju, stres i poteškoće u vezi. Specijalizirao sam se i za liječenje postporođajne depresije i neplodnosti.
Pozdravljam povratne informacije od svojih klijenata. Kada klijent smatra da određena tehnika ne radi, ohrabrujem ga da mi kaže kako bismo zajedno pronašli drugu tehniku koja bi mogla bolje funkcionirati. Mislim da je terapija definitivno timski rad.

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.

A world of possibilities opens when you attend to your inner world, let go of what is holding you back, access your power, and prepare yourself to meet life with courage and purpose. My call as a therapist is to help you reach for this unique potential. Together we will discover and attend to what is important to you, go after the life you desire and deserve, and help you feel pride and joy in being you.
Over a span of 10 years, I have worked and gained experience in a variety of clinical settings: community mental health, university campus, outpatient psychiatry, and private practice. Building skills to treat a wide range of mental health issues has provided me with a strong foundation to shift more fully towards the type of therapy I love doing the most: interpersonal psychotherapy. I enjoy helping individuals and couples to overcome challenges they face in their relationships, support those who are experiencing life transitions as well as those who are seeking to make important changes in their lives.
I like to approach every session collaboratively. Together will create experiences similar to those troubling you and help you work through them in real time during the session. A lot goes into making an experience, and I will support you to examine not just your thoughts but also pay close attention to your body, emotions, values, and behaviors. In every session we’ll have courageous conversations as well as moments of lightness, opportunities to dive deep into what is important to you and opportunities to exhale and, why not, share a laugh.

Santina Bianco, LPC
Terapeut
Univerzitet Adler mi je bio važan zbog svog naglaska na socijalnoj pravdi i angažmanu zajednice. To što sam dio zajednice Čikaga otvorilo mi je oči jer sam porijeklom iz malog grada. To što sam bila mala riba u velikom ribnjaku omogućilo mi je prilike i iskustva za koja smatram da su mi pomogla da rastem kao savjetnik.
Stekao sam terapeutsko iskustvo radeći u rezidencijalnim sredinama kao što su državne škole u Čikagu, centri za smeštaj maloletnika i krizni centri. Moja strast uključuje rad sa djecom, adolescentima i mladima uz promicanje različitosti. Pružam individualnu, grupnu i porodičnu terapiju. Moje iskustvo se sastoji od liječenja niza problema mentalnog zdravlja, uključujući depresiju, anksioznost, poremećaj ponašanja, opozicioni prkosni poremećaj, poremećaj pažnje i hiperaktivnost (ADHD), poremećaj prilagođavanja i ljutnju.
Moj pristup je integriran kombinirajući prakse zasnovane na dokazima uključujući terapiju usmjerenu na klijenta, terapiju kognitivnog ponašanja, dijalektičku bihejvioralnu terapiju i Adlerovu terapiju. Moja oblast specijalnosti je korišćenje terapije igrom. Terapija igrom je psihoterapeutski pristup koji se prvenstveno koristi za pomoć pojedincima da slobodno izraze svoje emocije i misli kroz korištenje igre. Terapeutska igra je način da pomognem pojedincima s akademskim, bihevioralnim, društvenim ili emocionalnim problemima s onima koji drugačije izražavaju komunikaciju. Verbalna komunikacija nije za sve nas i može biti zastrašujuća. Više volim da upoznam nekoga dok radim nešto aktivno ili zabavno.
Moja strast je da pomognem svojim klijentima da ostvare svoj puni potencijal koristeći njihove snage za podsticanje nezavisnosti. Moj stil terapije uključuje upoznavanje sa svojim klijentima tamo gde se trenutno nalaze. Moj cilj je pružiti jedinstveno i autentično savjetodavno iskustvo u kojem se čovjek može osjećati prihvaćenim zbog toga što je svoj. Nastojim da obezbijedim siguran i prostor za saradnju kako bih pomogao u razvoju povjerenja kako bih olakšao rast u terapijskom odnosu.

Radim sa ženama ili pojedincima iz ženskog spektra, uključujući LGBTQ+, specijalizirana za traume i kompleksne traume. Simptomi koji se najviše povezuju s traumom uključuju anksioznost i napade panike, strah, ljutnju, razdražljivost, opsesije, kompulzije, šok, emocionalno otupjelo, odvojenost, depresiju, stid i krivicu. Trauma može biti povezana s jednim događajem, poznatim ili nepoznatim pojedincu, ili se može smatrati složenim, a to je produženo izlaganje uznemirujućim okruženjima i okolnostima. Imam veliko iskustvo u radu sa osobama koje su bile žrtve porodičnog ili intimnog partnerskog zlostavljanja i nasilja. Osim toga, radim sa životnim promjenama, niskim samopoštovanjem, međuljudskim odnosima i pronalaženjem ravnoteže.
Moj pristup uključuje stvaranje sigurnog prostora za regulaciju simptoma anksioznosti i procesiranje emocija kako bi se izliječili, pronašli smisao i postali osnaženi u životu. Koristim pristup usmjeren na osobu u radu s jedinstvenim brigama svakog pojedinca. Također integriram desenzibilizaciju i reprocesiranje pokreta očiju (EMDR), kognitivnu
Bihevioralna terapija (CBT), psihodinamička, psihoedukacija i egzistencijalna terapija.
Teleterapija se pruža u Illinoisu i Teksasu
Jing Han, LPC
Therapist
I believe we’re naturally good and unfortunately taught to feel shame, worthlessness, inadequacy, and the ideas of “bad” and “wrong”. I’m dedicated to providing a non-judgmental environment to support clients, explore their situations, and achieve their goals. I strive to hear and understand your feelings, past and current experiences, as well as to provide information and new coping strategies to help you deal with your concerns, difficulties, and struggles. We will sort out what’s going on in your life and sort it out together.
I received my Master’ degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adler University. I have received training in CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and personality disorders treatment and management. It is my goal to keep enlarging my toolbox in order to provide more efficient and effective support to my clients.
The differences between cultures, languages, and environments may cause frustration or even conflict, and having new information and ways to handle them will create fresh insights and help you accomplish your goals. I hope after every session my client feel more confident, having healthier boundaries, and enjoy their lives more.
I offer therapy to individuals, couples, and families in English, Mandarin, and Japanese.

We all have unique innate strengths that create our inner awesomeness. However, sometimes we forget or lack the skills to nurture these qualities when we are consumed by the chaos of our day-to-day lives. By recognizing and developing these qualities we will come to recognize and “own our awesome.” Together, we will take the first steps on your journey to maximize your full potential. We‘ll identify and work on areas where you get stuck, to increase your alignment with your values, as we develop practices that create life-changing shifts and lasting results.
I am a licensed professional counselor. I completed my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University in Chicago. Throughout my career, I’ve held positions in outpatient therapy and residential treatment programs. I have worked with diverse populations and ages including adolescents and teens, adults, and individuals with chronic mental health and physical health issues. I use an integrative approach of strengths-based, person-centered, and psychodynamic techniques. I strongly believe in the importance of the therapeutic alliance and that clients should feel safe and supported. Each session we will collaborate on your treatment to help you meet your personal needs and goals.
