Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, ALC, BSW
Many believe expressing your feelings is a sign of weakness, creating a stigma surrounding mental health. However, the exact opposite is true! Knowing when to ask for help shows courage, strength, and wisdom. Physical and emotional health are tightly intertwined. When we know precisely what is wrong, we can face the problem head-on, allowing us to see firsthand that knowledge is power!
I was first introduced to depression and anxiety through a wiry, slightly rumpled, highly cantankerous psychology professor when I was only 19 years old. I will never forget that lecture as long as I live. As he presented the 'day’s topic,' he peered intently around the room as if he could read our very thoughts. Then, he threw down his book and left the room without warning, leaving us there in stunned silence. After what seemed like an hour (probably only five minutes), he returned with 25 lb. weights strapped to each arm and leg and a pack filled with two 50 lbs. fastened to his back. As he began to lecture, he proceeded to pace up and down each row of the classroom. He was not a young man, and as he talked, he became winded and was forced to stop and catch his breath. He was an excellent orator, by history, but on this day, he seemed entirely out of his comfort zone. He was confused, preoccupied, stressed, and somewhat fragile. As the class concluded and we began to slowly make our way to the door, the professor said, “Oh, and by the way, living with depression and anxiety is much like trying to do a simple daily task with over 200 lbs. of weight strapped to your very soul. Now, go and have a good evening.”
Having struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my adult life, and now as a counselor, I will have to say that the professor’s illustration was prophetically spot on! In fact, it was brilliant!

Chicago ADHD Associates
Psychologist, PhD
Do you ever feel like you're constantly battling to focus? Does getting sidetracked on a regular basis make it difficult to stay productive and organized, despite your best efforts? These challenges can be frustrating and can significantly impact your daily life. If you find yourself relating to these experiences, you may be one of the estimated 5% of the population who lives with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Far more than simply having trouble concentrating, ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can present significant challenges across various aspects of life. People with ADHD may struggle in work or academic settings due to difficulties with focus, organization, and time management. The impact of ADHD can also extend to personal relationships, as inattention and impulsivity can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or frustration for both the person with ADHD and their loved ones. Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD is the first step towards getting the support and resources you need. We have current availability and openings to provide ADHD testing, psychotherapy, and coaching.
