CBT for Anxiety

Our clinicians provide evidence-based therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and related disorders. We work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs and goals.

Care is structured and goal-oriented, with a focus on practical skills and measurable progress throughout the course of treatment.

ERP for OCD

Evanston residents (60201, 60202, 60203, 60204, 60208, and 60209) often encounter fragmented OCD care despite strong access to mental health awareness, with limited coordination between therapy and prescribing providers. Our Wilmette-based practice provides a more integrated approach.

We deliver ERP for OCD within one coordinated clinical team, ensuring consistent, evidence-based treatment for all major OCD subtypes with aligned care when medication is needed.

Psychiatric Medication Services

For Evanston residents who have been managing mental health conditions through their primary care physician, or who have been on the same medication for years without a psychiatric review, we offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations.

Our psychiatrists revisit the original diagnosis, assess current symptom burden, review medication appropriateness, and develop an updated treatment plan.

We prescribe thoughtfully, and we always prefer to combine medication with therapy when evidence supports it.

Conditions We Treat

We provide coordinated care for OCD, anxiety disorders, depression, grief, and related conditions through a single integrated clinical team rather than fragmented providers.

We work with college students, professionals experiencing burnout, adolescents under academic and social stress, adults with ADHD, patients with complex psychiatric histories, and older adults facing cognitive changes, grief, or depression.
