Bello Ahidjo
Adults
Throughout our lives we go through experiences that help us define who we are. These moments of connection and isolation, fulfillment and confusion are foundational events that make us, us. These can be life altering experiences; societal forces, traumatic events, difficult relationships, or a series of distressing events that we carry for the rest of our lives. Working through these experiences can be scary. Therapy can help us unpack these moments and lead more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
In our sessions, we will explore who you are; your world, beliefs, and values. Together, we will use this understanding to promote change and growth that will help in working through your current distress. My aim, is to aid on your journey toward finding meaning and freedom..

Kara Anderson
Couples and relationships
Whether with our intimate partners, children, siblings, extended family relations or work colleagues we are always striving to navigate relationships that cultivate joy and connection. However, these relationships can sometimes leave us feeling unheard, misunderstood and anxious about our future. Healthy relationships are something we all desire, but often have a difficult time identifying and defining for ourselves. There is no greater investment than understanding the way you connect to yourself and others. By working collaboratively toward your goals, we can explore the most effective way for you to uncover the tools and strengths that you possess to enhance the quality of your relationships. Trained at Northwestern University's The Family Institute, I have focused on creating a safe space to explore the intense and richly rewarding dynamics of interpersonal relationships. I welcome clients from all races, genders, cultures, religions and sexual orientations. I work couples addressing intimacy issues, navigating life stage transitions as well as relationships challenged by intergenerational conflict. My work with families routinely addresses trauma, interpersonal conflict, infidelity, strengthening the parent/child relationship, blended families and coping with loss or divorce.

Sharday Love
Adults
I operate from an integrative and multi-culturally sensitive approach to help individuals and couples with a variety of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, life transitions, work/life balance, mindfulness, stress management, communication issues, LGBTQ issues, and codependency. I specialize in working with relationship issues, couples therapy and marital counseling, and transition to parenthood issues. In my practice, I've found that the need for attachment, connection, belonging and acceptance are often at the core of unhappiness and can lead to depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues as well as problems within interpersonal and romantic relationships. I help clients to gain insight into attachment needs and to better communicate those needs with partners and loved ones, to heal following a break in trust, to recognize and change unhealthy patterns in relationships, and to practice self-love. As a member of the Transitions to Parenthood Team, I work with new and expecting parents as they learn to adapt to the addition of a new child as well as manage perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Kirk Riddle
Adults
Kirk has 2 Masters Degrees in Counseling. His first one was completed in 1979 from Eastern Illinois University. Upon graduation from Eastern, Kirk went on to a successful Sales and Sales Manager Career with Johnson and Johnson working with J&J for 28 years and managing in the pharmaceutical sales arena. While living in Florida and managing for J&J, Kirk’s wife Lois was diagnosed with early onset of Alzheimers. Kirk adjusted his life at that point to care for his wife and to be available to his college aged daughter. He moved back to Chicago to be near family, then went back to update his counseling credentials at Chicago State University, completing his second Masters in 2012. The changes Kirk made to his life allowed Kirk to care for Lois as well as to care for himself as a caregiver.
Kirk has worked in the field of counseling for the past 6 years and has done extensive volunteering while caring for his terminally ill wife. Kirk volunteers for the Chicago Department of Mental Health as well as Rush Presbyterian Medical Center Early on-set Alzheimers support group. At both organizations Kirk has extensive experience leading support groups. Kirk Also has worked for a counseling agency as a HUD Therapist and more recently worked in Chicago Public Schools as a contracted mental health therapist. Kirk also takes clients for private therapy including family and marriage therapy. Kirk approaches life with Christian values while being non judgmental. Kirk counsels using a philosophy that has helped him to deal with loss in his life; to live is to change, to live well, is to change often.

Chrissy Storey
Adults
*Chrissy is on Leave and not currently accepting new clients*
Whether you’re single, dating or married, relationships are dynamic or ever-changing. Families members, friends, co-workers, or children can add value to your life and can also add stress and concern. You are not the same person who entered into those relationships and neither are they. Together we can navigate what is looks like to be true to yourself, continue to grow and be in healthy relationships with others.
Sometimes we need to do the work to first uncover our wholehearted selves. This may mean working through grief, anxiety, depression or trauma. Sometimes it may be a life change, spiritual concerns or unhelpful patterns that are holding you back. Whatever may come up, you won’t have to journey through it alone. I will incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and Mindfulness approaches in our time together. Your wholehearted self and wholehearted relationships are within reach.
I would love to offer a brief complimentary phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
