Christopher Schinler
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I am passionate about supporting individuals in overcoming anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and other obstacles in life. Having faced and overcome anxiety and depression myself, I can deeply empathize with those striving to reclaim the quality of life they are accustomed to. I find fulfillment in guiding clients to set meaningful goals, overcome internal and external obstacles, and enhance their overall quality of life. My experience includes providing individual, group, couples, and marriage counseling to people of all ages and backgrounds.
My clients describe me as easygoing, laid-back, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I use aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and goal-oriented therapy, to name a few. I am a musician, so I enjoy incorporating music, art, and other creative methods to help my clients find inspiration and connect with their thoughts and emotions.
I love working with people and become energized when I can assist clients in improving their quality of life. Together, we will get to the root of your negative thoughts, reestablish control of your emotions, change behavioral patterns, and set goals that can be achieved through weekly sessions. If you feel we can be a match, I hope to hear from you soon!

Phuong Thao Nguyen
Registered Social Worker, LSW, MSW
I work with adults and couples from different walks of life. As a holistic practitioner, I’ve come to understand it’s a different dance for each person when working towards embodying their voice, choice, boundaries, and authenticity. I take into consideration your experiences relationally and with systems and how they may impact the relationship to your inner landscape. My identities: 1st generation Vietnamese immigrant, non-binary, queer, polyamorous & ex-catholic. Also being someone who is neurodivergent, along with the intersection of these identities, has shaped the way I move in the world while inspiring me to continue being curious & going outside of the box when I work with each unique human.
My approach is non-judgmental, informed-consent, and person-centered while drawing upon an intersectional lens to honor each unique human where you are seen, heard, and feel like you matter. I believe in supporting clients to lead as you are the expert of your lived experiences while collaborating and at times challenging you on your reblooming journey.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
In moments we feel inadequate, uncertain, or even confused, we often look for a helping hand. As a therapist, I perfectly understand that we all need a little extra support at some point in our lives. Together, we will work out solutions that could help you grow as an individual. Working with me can help improve your emotional well-being, make peace with your past, and live the life you’ve always wanted. Our minds can get overwhelmed sometimes, but I will help you unravel what’s causing you stress. Whether it is anxiety, grief, abuse, or even a tough breakup – there will be no judgment from me. Help is just a phone call away.
I use an eclectic approach influenced by Person-Centered therapy, so expect our sessions to be conversational. I also draw inspiration from Gestalt methods, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and other forms of trauma support I learned from working with people of all ages. I want to explore your history and understand the root causes of your stress.
Our counseling sessions will allow you to express freely and get the most out of therapy. Hopefully, my methods could help you find your voice, value your authenticity and uniqueness, and eventually reach your goals. I also believe in the power of introspection and self-acceptance, two ingredients necessary for growth and healing. I hope to hear from you!

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.
