Conditions We Treat

Our therapists in Buffalo Grove work with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Below are some of the most common concerns we address:

  • Anxiety: Worry, fear, and nervousness that feel hard to control and get in the way of daily life, school, or relationships. This includes generalized anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety, and panic.

  • Depression: Persistent feelings of sadness, low motivation, hopelessness, or emotional numbness that affect how a child or adult functions at home, school, or work.

  • ADHD: Difficulty with focus, impulse control, organization, or sitting still. We support both children and adults managing ADHD symptoms, as well as the parents and families around them.

  • Trauma: Emotional responses to difficult or overwhelming experiences, such as abuse, loss, accidents, or family disruption, that continue to affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior long after the event.

  • Self-Esteem Issues: A persistent sense of not being good enough, struggles with confidence, negative self-talk, or difficulty recognizing personal worth. These feelings often show up at school, in friendships, and at home.

  • Behavioral Challenges: Defiance, aggression, emotional outbursts, or difficulty following rules and routines. These behaviors are often a signal that a child is struggling, and they can be addressed with the right support and strategies.
