My wife and I went in for couple's counseling and worked with Vanessa for the last 6+ months. She…read morewas a fantastic therapist to talk to about our relationship issues. She was very attentive in every one of our sessions asking about who we are, where we came from, or why we think certain ways so that she could fully understand our personas. Her diligence in her work and asking the right questions to pry into our feelings/thoughts were just what we needed to get our issues out into the air. I feel a much stronger connection with my partner after these sessions and truly appreciate the hard work Venessa put in. I feel like I'm in a much better mental/emotional place for myself and my spouse to handle any current or new issues that we'll face together.

Some time ago, we (a family member and I) have attempted to contact Dr. Elligan four times (five,…read moreactually, but one call may have been to an outdated phone number) to find out if he was accepting new patients. We have left voice mails each time. The last attempt was made via the "contact us" link on his website. This message explained the situation, including the effects of not receiving any response to our inquiries, and I asked him to contact my family member directly. I held off writing this review for a couple of MONTHS, just to give him a chance to respond to that last message. We have received no responses to any of our attempts. I understand that the COVID situation has turned the world upside down and a lot of people are seeking treatment, but all we were looking for was a simple reply. It is very difficult to ask for help--and being ignored makes it that much less-likely that my family member will reach out again.

Things in my mind were super complex and he helped me peel the onion one at a time.

Thanks for everything Dr E!

I am a regular Classpass user and cannot recommend this place enough. I've taken so many of their…read moreyoga variations, and every instructor is a joy to work with. They explain movements clearly, offer helpful modifications, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome. The studio is always clean and well-organized, and they go above and beyond by providing and setting up mats and props, which makes every class feel easy and stress-free. The overall vibe here is just unmatched. The yoga recovery candlelight classes, in particular, feel like a true reset. I leave those sessions feeling calm, centered, and relaxed for the rest of the evening. Astute offers something genuinely special, and I would confidently recommend it 5 out of 5. You can generally park right out front with city parking. So you never have to worry about circling the block and worrying about being late.

Great safe space to come for a mental and self care day. Makes you feel stress free when you walk out.

Her excellent training and intuition will support your healing process. I've worked with her myself and have seen her work with many other students, and i've never met someone who didn't rave about the quality of her work. She's so detail oriented and really does care about you. It doesn't hurt that she's highly yoga trained + a psychologist! It's a great combo. She loves what she does, and it always shows. If you can get into one of her group yoga classes or maybe even schedule a private lesson, it will seriously help you. She's a gem

She listens and sympathizes like you would expect a great friend to, and 'keeps it real' in a way that's really validating to the experiences I shared with her. Devon is incredible at offering advice. I was always able to leave sessions with practical pieces of advice I could immediately put into practice, which was helpful for me as a type-A person. She helped guide me to rethinking situations or reframing experiences by helping me reach that conclusion on my own by asking thoughtful probing questions.

How I found her was through a neighbor recommendation in a FB group called, "Real West Loop." It is refreshing that this group of neighbors is not linearly focused on family-oriented conversations or "Mom-Talk" in sourcing neighborhood recommendations. Real West Loop is a place for our community to come together for updates, recommendations, referrals & events. For me in particular, coming across a thread related to adult adhd, managing workplace performance, balancing life & finding a great therapist was really amazing & led me to match with Sharon Koys PA-C. http://facebook.com/groups/realwestloop

I was able to connect with the clinic directly by phone and they were able to schedule an appointment with the doctor I wanted to work with, but it would be a telehealth visit. That was fine with me as I live an hour away from the clinic. I will have to have 1 in-person visit per year, so that's do-able. The doctor was very patient, kind, listened to my questions and concerns, and for the first time, I actually felt heard by a psychiatrist. I'm glad I found this practice and I'm looking forward to getting back to feeling better.

I had the privilege of working with Marie for a meaningful period of my mental health journey, and…read moreI can confidently say that she is an exceptional therapist. If you're even considering working with her. Please do. I came to Marie to work on issues related to attachment, and not only did I feel heard in ways I never had with previous therapists, but I was actually excited to attend the upcoming sessions. Her presence is incredibly gentle and supportive, but what truly sets her apart is the depth of knowledge and insight she brings into every conversation. She doesn't just help you identify what's happening, she helps you understand why and how it all connects. Thanks to her, I feel like a completely different person. My self-confidence has grown tremendously, and my relationships are far healthier and more secure. Marie is deeply intuitive, adaptable, and compassionate. She meets you exactly where you are and walks beside you without judgment. No matter your background or concern, I truly believe anyone could benefit from working with Marie. That said, I also encourage you to look into her specific areas of specialty, she brings a lot of depth to those spaces as well.
