Chicago Therapists specializing in Marriage Counseling

Brittany Gray

My clients are adults and couples who seek to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and how they show up in this world. I want to assist people in becoming their fully realized emotional selves by creating a non-judgmental and sex-positive space for them to safely explore their feelings and share their vulnerabilities. The therapeutic relationship, and collaboration within it, is a crucial component of my work as well as something that I build and honor throughout the therapeutic process.

Are you someone who is looking for help or support in your non-traditional relationship structure or sexuality? Are you struggling to feel seen or heard in these identities? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections with others are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know. I desire to work with people who are seeking to flesh out their sense of identity and strengths, and through doing so, relate to others more authentically and skillfully.

I enjoy working with people diverse in culture, ethnicity, race, gender identity, age, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, spirituality, and social capital. Frequently addressed topics include relationships, grief and loss, chronic stress, trauma, discrimination, depression, anxiety, sexuality, gender, school problems, addictions, and court-involvement.

Jeff Levy

The one thing all my clients have in common is the courage and desire to live differently. Most everyone has found that survival strategies that were once necessary and even helpful, no longer work in the ways they used to and, in some instances rather than being helpful, they have become counterproductive. My clients, ages 18-80, want to understand the origins of old survival strategies, strengthen them where they remain useful, and replace them where necessary.

Michael Bricker

I pride myself in working with a diverse client base, and work best with individuals who may feel stuck in or overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions, and/or who are eager to make changes to the way they build, manage, and maintain relationships with others in their lives. Ideal clients are those individuals who want to develop greater curiosity about their experience and who are looking for a change from traditional, overly analytical talk-therapy.

Feeling obsessive thoughts swirling around? Does it seem like your emotions and behaviors are controlling you more often than not? Life is feeling just too much? I hear you. You are stressed out. Everything you do to try and be in control isn’t working anymore. I know anxiety, relational stress, and sadness are overwhelming, and confronting it seems almost impossible. I want to tell you, you are not alone. Together we will develop healthy strategies to break free from what's holding you back.

Sebastino Aviles

I will accompany you to a place where you can better understand who you are and who you are becoming. Therapy is not one size fits all, I truly believe people are the experts in their lives and it is imperative for me to honor and accept my clients exactly where they are and how they show up. Practicing from a relationally oriented lens, I help clients evaluate relationships in their lives with people, places, and problems to gain more clarity and insight to their preferred and authentic lives.

E Ardron

You are resilient, capable, and not willing to settle for the status quo. Your reluctance to fit the mold may complicate things, but it’s worth it. Sometimes, we get lost along the way, and life can overwhelm our capacities to cope - and in those times, it takes bravery to reach out for support. Together we will celebrate your uniqueness, investigate the barriers to your progress, and build on your existing strengths to cultivate an authentic future full of possibilities.

Nik Wilson

Being human is messy and the relationships we have with ourselves and others can often feel even messier. However, you, through your lived experiences, have a significant amount of important data about what is working for you versus what is not. Together we can use that data and determine what variables have been supportive as well as what elements may need a revised approach.

Jennifer Bradtke

The to-do list is never-ending and what’s done never feels quite enough. You are diligent about keeping on top of things and it’s gotten you pretty far. But, you find yourself asking “I’m running myself ragged for this?” Well, you are not alone. My clients are busy, successful, professionals who feel stressed, anxious, and struggle with imposter syndrome. They seem put together on the outside but struggle with burnout and feeling like they are one step away from catastrophe.

Carmen F Juneidi

Painful past experiences cause you to have a hard time trusting others, yet you keep finding yourself in unhealthy relationships. Your anxiety may be making you feel tense, irritable and afraid of taking risks. You alternate between feeling angry, scared and numb. You may feel ashamed for what has happened to you and you can't imagine ever feeling happy again. You don't have to let old wounds dictate the rest of your life. You can feel confident, empowered and optimistic about the future again.

John Hughes

My clients tend to be individuals and couples between 20 and 50 who have noticed an acute or recurrent struggle with effectively managing self and relationships. Some client's concerns are isolated to a specific or current relationships and others have a more systemic struggle that has historically complicated all relationships. My clients have told me they appreciate my compassionate yet direct approach that balances science with emotions and skills with acceptance.

As a Couple and Family Therapist, I specialize in virtual services for couples, families, polycules, and individuals. Research suggests therapy is most effective when there is a good fit between therapist and client. While expertise in what you’re dealing with is one area that predicts a good fit, personality, approach, shared experiences, values, and world view can also be important.

Amy Markley

When your relationship is suffering, you're suffering. Sometimes, incredibly so. Maybe the person you used to feel so close to now seems more like a distant stranger. Maybe a betrayal has left you outraged and alone. Maybe all the fighting and miscommunication makes you wonder at times what you ever saw in your partner at all. My clients are couples, individuals and families who want to love each other more fully and strengthen their bonds.
