Adult, Couples and Family Psychiatry and Therapy

Psychiatry and therapy under one roof, so the person prescribing and the person doing the work can actually talk to each other.

Most adults do not arrive with a tidy single problem. Anxiety and sleep and work stress and a strained relationship tend to show up together, and splitting that across a prescriber at one practice and a therapist at another means nobody sees the whole picture.

What we offer adults

  • Psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with follow-up built into the plan
  • Individual therapy for anxiety, depression, stress and life transitions
  • Couples therapy where the relationship itself is the thing that needs attention
  • Family therapy, often alongside care for a child or teenager

Coordinated rather than parallel

When your prescriber and your therapist are in the same practice, a medication change can be informed by what is actually happening in therapy, and therapy can account for what a medication is or is not doing. That coordination is the practical argument for keeping both in one place.

Common reasons adults come in

Persistent worry, low mood, difficulty concentrating, sleep that has stopped working, grief, burnout, and relationship strain. Some people want therapy only. Some want a medication consultation only. Both are fine, and you are not signing up for a package.

Common questions

Can I see a therapist here without seeing a prescriber?
Yes. Therapy alone is a normal way to work with us, and so is a medication consultation alone.
Do you offer telehealth for adults?
Yes, anywhere in Illinois. Many adults do medication follow-ups by telehealth and come in for the initial appointment.
Do you do couples therapy?
Yes, alongside individual and family work.
