I started seeing Amy at the suggestion of my psychiatrist in order to help with some sleeping…read moreissues through cognitive behavioral therapy. Honestly, I was extremely resistant - I didn't want to see a therapist, I didn't want to talk through issues, and I really didn't think CBT would help at all with my sleeping problems. I finally gave in, agreeing to "time box" the sessions to 10 weeks, just to give it a shot and see if it would help. After my first session with Amy, my wife and I both noticed improvements in my ability to fall asleep, my quality of sleep, and my overall mood and energy because of my sleep, within just a couple of days. Fast forward several months later, including multiple weeks of seeing Amy more than once a week. The 10 week "time box" is obviously well past, and I've begun to allow Amy and her expertise into more of my life and to help me deal with even more issues in my life, from being a better husband, father, employee, and just a better person in general. To be completely honest, I really wanted to not like seeing a therapist, and frankly, not like Amy. But now, I can't imagine my life without seeing Amy and having her help me through things, give me my homework, and help me to learn that I can work through mental hurdles with various strategies she's taught me. Amy has always been available - she's very prompt to return phone calls and even text messages when I have needed her, has been very flexible to work around my schedule, and genuinely cares about me and my family. If you're looking for a great therapist and someone who will care about you, get to know you, and take time for you, I highly recommend Amy. She's helped more than my sleep, she's changed my life and sticking with her past 10 weeks has been the best decision I've made in a long time.

Was billed for a missed appointment but was never sent a notification email or reminder of the…read moreappointment. In the past I always received notifications and on this specific appointment that I made after coming back from medical leave of 3 months, they did not send an email reminder. They charged $100 and refused to waive it since they neglected to send the initial notification of the reminder. The appointment was made at the office but I was not given any card stating my next appointment date. I tried emailing them asking for the appointment date/time and no response, yet they still want to charge $100. Horrible customer service and billing. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL.

She is incredibly attentive, gifted, and makes sure you are comfortable. Located in beautiful, southwest Chicago suburban neighborhood. Upon opening the treatment room door, I was met with a supportive atmosphere lit by a candle in a sconce, sounds of relaxing music, and the beautiful Spirits of Tara's sacred bowls. She asked if I was having any pain at the beginning of the session; I felt some in my neck and lower back. During the session, I experienced the white Crystal Bowls, and Brass Metal Bowls carrying the Spirits of the energy that Tara channels through these magical instruments. She placed the bowls around me as well as directly on my body as she played and brought forth their beautiful, transformative sounds. This interaction with my field felt so nurturing and relaxing; I realized at one point that my earlier pain was gone. The aromatherapy at the end was a delightful surprise. This session exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be returning and referring.
