Carpentersville Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Sammie Mayerck

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by worry, weighed down by sadness, or disconnected from your sense of worth, you're not alone—and you're in the right place. I understand how difficult it can be to break free from the constant cycle of negative thoughts and emotions. It can feel isolating, as though you're trapped in a mental space where nothing seems to change. Whether it’s anxiety about the future, feeling stuck in a depressive state, or battling with a critical inner voice, I'd like to help

Karissa Tobey

Do you find yourself struggling with shame or anxiety that people will reject you if they knew who you are? Do you feel depressed and anxious because you feel like you are emotionally starving, but terrified the cost to yourself or others is too great? Whether you identify with these feelings because of codependency, gender incongruence, or social anxiety, I don't want you to hold those struggles alone. I want to sit with you and empower you to take the steps to value a beautiful person: you.

Robin Poage

My clients tend to be super creative and intuitive but often struggle with confidence and self-esteem because due to deep processing, they're overwhelmed and feel less productive. They may also be called"quirky" or "too sensitive". They may be told something is wrong with them even though they have amazing gifts that the world silently depends on. They are overstimulated and have empathy overload.

I like working with clients who want to heal through trauma that they have experienced. I work with clients who have C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, emotion dysregulation issues, low self-esteem, and limited emotional expression. I like to help clients develop emotional awareness, skills, and information on what can help you move forward on symptoms you are experiencing.

Fact: uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and emotions are a part of life. This is not to say that one must accept & endure a life of unhappiness; however, learning how to balance acceptance AND change is a crucial part of therapy & growing. I want to listen, ask questions, understand your story... & help you learn & practice skills that you can utilize for the rest of your life. Just need to vent? Are you wanting an objective perspective on your own subjective views? I'd love to be your audience.

Joy Walsh

It always amazes me the complete turn around clients can do with the tools they already have, they just needed to discover, reorganize or sharpen a few things. Clients who typically seek me out are looking for a therapist who specializes in trauma, perinatal or postpartum issues, women's issues, anxiety or who can help support them in a significant life transition. I am excited to offer you a space to heal, learn and feel you are not alone.

Amy Springer Robinson

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.

Dr. Divya Jain

I enjoy working with adults who are seeking support in finding balance - be it in their identity, relationships, or other realms of life. Often, major transitions, depression, anxiety, and grief make this balance particularly difficult to achieve. As a career changer and mom of two, I relate well to the struggle of repeatedly rediscovering and redefining one’s identity. I am also skilled in helping folks struggling with acculturative stress, sense of belonging, and/or intergenerational conflict.
