FAQ
Do you offer a consultation?
We do. You are welcome to a book your consultation with us so we can talk each other and determine if we are a good fit. You’ll be able to ask us any question that you may have, and we can learn about your situation to determine if our skill sets match your needs.
How can I book a new consultation?
You can book your new consultation here. Or, feel free to contact us online or call us at (312) 291-9570.
What do I need to bring to my first appointment?
Before an in-person appointment, your therapist will give you information about how to find and enter our offices. If you arrive early, your clinician may be in session with someone else; please make yourself comfortable in the waiting area, and they will find you at the scheduled time.
Which insurance carriers do you accept?
For psychological testing services, we are only in-network with BCBS PPO at this time. We can, however, facilitate the use of out-of-network benefits for numerous insurers and can submit claims on your behalf.
Dietitian and nutritional counseling services are currently in-network with BCBS PPO, Blue Choice, and Aetna.

What can I expect to get out of therapy?
Depending on the reasons you are seeking out therapy, what you can expect to get out of therapy differs. Generally, our clients are seeking clarity around a certain issue, want to break the cycle of bad habits, or need advice and counsel about a current life situation. Whatever is going on for you, hopefully therapy will make it easier by providing clarity, relief, confidence, or whatever you feel you need at this time.

How long does it take to feel better?
This varies from person to person. Some people feel a sense of relief after the first session, while for others it may take multiple sessions to start feeling a shift.
How can I know if we are good match?
This is a great question… it’s important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. The best way to know if we are a match is by doing a free consultation so we can speak and get a feel for each other. Usually we can determine if we’d be a good match after one conversation. Please feel free to book your consultation by contacting us online or calling (312) 291-9570.
