Robert Nick Giannasi

I work primarily with adolescents (ages 10-25), marriages, and men's issues. I currently supervise a team of therapists through Unbroken Family Counseling. I work within this team and, when necessary, work with schools, psychiatrists, and other community resources to help my clients. My ideal client is a teen who doesn't think he/she needs counseling, a marriage that is on the rocks, or a guy dealing with guy stuff (guys know what I'm talking about). If I cant help you I can help find someone who can.

As a Southside native, I love working with the communities that have shaped me and given me so much. I am aware of how our decisions can affect our entire family system and therefore, using a culturally sensitive approach, we will work together to find solutions and set goals based on what is important to you. I am especially passionate about helping clients build their self-esteem and challenge those negative thoughts that can make our day-to-day seem so much more difficult.

Joseph Paul Perkins

Therapy is a place where you can be open and honest about yourself and have no judgment about who you are. We all need to be willing to ask for help when needed. I feel therapy can help a variety of people and I look to work with clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I also look to help clients who deal with a variety of other challenges such as issues at home or challenges in school.

Xiya Akande

Hello, my name is Xiya Akande, and I am an LPC Intern. I am currently pursuing my Masters through Governors State University. I believe that change is best implemented in a space that doesn’t just claim to be “safe” but an environment that creates that sensation upon entry. When the environment sets that standard, the official therapeutic work can begin. I aim to work with you to address feelings and thoughts regarding concerns brought to sessions. The space that supports you and your experiences should be inclusive and completely free of judgment.

Meghann Overbey

Hello! My name is Meghann. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming at times. I understand the difficulties of navigating dysfunctional relationships and trauma. Together we will work through your areas of concern, collaborate on goals, and identify your strengths. My goal is to provide a safe environment where we can develop trust; you can process your feelings, increase your self-awareness, and learn coping skills. I will do my best to make sure you’re comfortable and that therapy goes at a pace that you choose. We will identify ways to manage stress, self-care, and increase positive self-talk.

Catalyst Clinical Group Inc

I believe every person has the ability to effect change in their life. Sometimes, though, we need someone to walk along side us to help navigate through difficult and trying times.

My hope is to provide you with the highest quality mental health services to help you achieve your goals and live a healthy, productive life of your design.

Marie Torchia

Hello, my name is Marie Torchia. I am so glad and proud of you taking the steps towards your healing journey. Life can come with so many emotions, thoughts, and experiences that leave us to feel alone, unheard and no supported, as it can be difficult, weather it is small changes or traumatic experiences that have occurred in our lives. I believe that our lives offer opportunities for growth and development, which I can help you identify, explore in a compassionate, warm, supportive relationship to find the strength to address and overcome difficulties and begin to heal.

Courtney Thompson Lsw Psy.d. Candidate

Living in a city as big as Chicago offers many opportunities yet it can sometimes feel overwhelming, lonely, and even isolating. Are you hiding certain pieces of yourself from your friends or family to avoid conflict or to fit in? You might feel like no one knows the real you. You’ve noticed a shift in how you deal with stress. Maybe it’s coming out as increased drinking, binging or restricting food, or turning to other coping behaviors. Or maybe you’re in recovery but other parts of your life continue to feel unmanageable which feels frustrating. You no longer need to feel trapped. Change is possible and hope can be found.

Changing Phases

My outlook on life is that we are all on a journey. Some people move faster than others. Some need a helping hand along the way; but we can all arrive to where we are going, where we want to be…every single one of us. I am here to help motivate when you lack motivation. I am here to listen when you feel unheard. I am here to push when you feel weak, or pull when you don’t feel strong enough. I’m also here to sit with you when you aren’t ready or feel unable to make a decision. I am here at your pace.

Andrea I Washington

There are times in all our lives when we don’t quite feel comfortable with ourselves or with our situations. These times can bring about overwhelming feelings of stress, depression and anxiety. We began to think and or act-out in ways which can be self-destructive and non-productive. As a highly skilled and supportive cognitive-behavioral and psychoanalytic therapist, I will assist you with moving beyond traumatic experiences, challenges and un-resolve conflict via personalized evidenced based therapeutic intervention.
