She creates an environment of deep safety, compassion, and presence -- something I felt from our very first session. Through her use of Internal Family Systems (IFS), I've been able to understand and connect with parts of myself that I had long ignored or misunderstood. Courtney has an incredible gift for guiding without pushing, and for holding space in a way that makes you feel seen, heard, and never judged. I felt genuinely comfortable opening up to her -- something that hasn't come easy for me in the past. With her support, I've gained tools not just to cope, but to truly heal. I'm deeply grateful for the work we've done together. If you're looking for a therapist who can meet you with both clinical skill and heartfelt empathy, I can't recommend Courtney enough.

She is more than willing to express her opinion on how you could have handled a situation better, or how you could analyze a partner's actions better. Worked with her for 5 month and thought that she provided proactive and useful feedback to my wife and I.

I highly recommend Summit Clinical Services. I had several bad experiences with previous…read morepsychiatrists and had given up on finding one, when Dr. Anna Mackender was recommended to me. She is absolutely fabulous, and I am forever grateful to have been referred to her. She is not only an extremely knowledgeable doctor, but is also caring, friendly and kind. She clearly cares for her patients and genuinely wants to help us live our best lives. I have also only had great experiences with the office staff. They are a very busy group as they support multiple doctors and therapists, but they are always friendly and responsive. I've called with questions and concerns on several different occasions and I've never waited more than a couple hours for a response. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Mackender and the entire Summit Clinical team.

No really, Kim, thanks for not getting me hooked on benzos instead. Nancy is the chillest woman in the west suburbs, so much so that I often forget the season we're in when I'm out of my clothes and on her table, in a cozy little room with several reminders to forget one's trouble. I don't care about the occasional sound from the outside world, my preoccupations fade, and I generally lose all concept of time and discomfort - physical or mental. She doesn't do the deep tissue thing, so don't call her if you prefer to get beaten a little. She has, however, helped me tremendously with my TMJ issues, back pain, and overall state of relaxation. Generally, I start out on my back, then get a little cranio-sacral work, then flip over for the back attention. I like to go for 90 minutes ($115) when I can, but 60 is great too (only $75). She's got locations in the city too - Hubbard and Damen, I think. So call her if you're looking for a laid-back massage therapist at a nice price.
