I provide specialized interventions for clients struggling with a variety of challenges including peer relationships, mood, and career changes. My clinical focus is working with individuals with anxiety and ADHD. Through a warm and collaborative approach, I address unique concerns and support you or your child in learning skills to better function in day-to-day life, building peer relationships, gaining confidence, and overcoming challenges.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and occasionally the entire family. Whether I am currently working with an individual or couple, at whatever stage of life or relationship they may be in, I am always keenly interested in learning about their relationships. Connection to others is the underlying foundation for psychological and emotional health. Psychological health and strong connections enable people to not simply enjoy their own lives, but use their talents to meet the world's needs. This is my true calling, to help individuals, couples and families to lead their very best lives.

Do you and your partner love each other, but you are not lining up when it comes to sex and intimacy? If sex has become a chore . . . if one of you has a way lower drive than the other . . . if you want more passion in your love life . . . reach out and let's talk! When left unchecked, sexual issues can become the elephant in the room and can even lead to the end of the relationship. I know this from personal experience! But, there is so much you can do to diagnose the real issues and get you back on the right track. Sometimes you just need a guide who has been down that road before.

My approach to therapy is centered on the belief that everyone has inherent strengths and wisdom. Working together in our sessions, we will explore a path to meaningful insights into your life. In the process, you will learn new skills that will allow you to bring about thoughtful, positive changes.

I help individuals, couples, families, and executives improve their relationships to others and themselves. I combine insight, mindfulness, and experiential models of therapy to increase awareness of the process and patterns that keep people stuck and identify and implement new ways of being with themselves and others. I actively guide clients through different ways of thinking and communicating in session and will often assign “homework” to deepen this work outside of session. Trained at Northwestern University, I am an integrative and systemic therapist who pulls from a number of different evidence-based models of therapy.

Working with moms and their families is my passion. While becoming a mother is often a long-awaited and magical experience, it can also be a vulnerable time for many of us. When we become mothers, we often re-experience childhood trauma which causes unresolved emotional pain to unexpectedly surface. These triggers may disrupt what would otherwise be a smooth transition into our parental role. Without understanding why, we may become increasingly anxious or depressed as new mothers and need additional support. Or we may feel that we have lost our identity somewhere between dishes, nap times, and ferrying kids to their activities.

I work with a diverse range of clients who are seeking support and guidance in navigating life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I am here to help. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through a collaborative and client-centered approach, I work with you to develop insight, coping skills, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

As a therapist I seek to foster and provide a calm, inviting and compassionate space for my clients. I work to create a space where my clients feel intentional and complete support as they navigate difficult as well as joyful circumstances in their lives. Through therapeutic support and an understanding that every person and situation necessitates a uniquely crafted approach, I engage the needs of individuals, couples, and families.

Do you feel that anxiety, stress and panic are taking a toll on you body and the mind? My approach to therapy is to create a safe space where you can explore and heal the difficult and painful issues that are showing up in your life. Together we will move beyond problem-solving into releasing the mistaken beliefs and core unresolved issues behind your symptoms. My body-centered and mindfulness approach allows me to work directly with your nervous system to address symptoms like anxiety, racing thoughts, and irrational fears as well as feeling stuck, depressed and unavailable or unresponsive to life and relationships.

My main goal as a therapist is to see my clients grow and to help them recognize their abilities and strengths as an individual, so that they can feel they’re leading the life that they want. I approach each client with respect and compassion and motivate them to reach their own personal goals, so that they can continue to see self-growth. I have experience working with clients struggling in new phases of life, as well as ones who have a history of working through mental illness. As your therapist I will guide you to get on the path to get to know yourself better and help you to move in the direction you would like.

I specialize in providing therapy to couples. As a relationally-trained therapist, I bring curiosity to the ways circularity works in couple relationships: how are patterns co-created and maintained? Through a collaborate and creative process, clients will grow individual and relational self-awareness. Together, we will consider the importance of validation and curiosity in reducing conflict. I support clients in naming emotions, needs, and hurts, so that they may become bids for connection, instead of hidden sources of detachment.

Greetings, I'm Karissa. I'm here to be your partner on your journey to healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. As a dedicated and experienced mental health therapist, I understand that life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, I firmly believe that every individual has the innate capacity to overcome obstacles and create positive change in their lives. My mission is to provide you with the guidance, support, and tools you need to unlock your potential, find inner peace, and build a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.

It is not always easy to admit when we need help – and then to ask for it. Taking the step to seek therapy is an important one, and I want to help make it a positive experience for you. Sometimes our worlds on the inside and on the outside can leave us with overwhelming feelings that may not be easy to manage on our own, and you don’t have to. As you work with me, you will find that I am compassionate and easy to talk to. I support clients in a number of areas, including: trauma; questions around identity and expression; relationships; family of origin; life transitions; anxiety; and depression, to name a few.

Struggling with the challenges of anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or grief can feel overwhelming. The weight of these struggles is often heavy, making life's journey more demanding. In such times, having a supportive ally can make a significant difference. At Monarch Insight Therapy, the focus is on creating a safe and supportive environment where compassion and care are foundational. While empathy and understanding are core to the practice, the power of lightheartedness and humor is also embraced to foster healing and resilience, offering a path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Does it feel like something has to change? Maybe things don’t feel as easy or as fulfilling as they used to? Life might even feel overwhelming and it’s getting more difficult to cope with the stress. If you have ever thought "I can't keep going on like this," it might be time to explore professional counseling.

This is your journey! You already have ideas, knowledge and strengths you are bringing to our work together. You can already envision a better life for yourself. Maybe something is getting in your way and keeping you from enjoying the loving connection with family members or friends that you hope to have. Maybe your goal is to support your young child and grow in your parenting skills as your child moves through challenging life events. Perhaps an external catalyst is causing you to re-think your current path in life...a work change, a relationship shift. How will you make the healthiest choices for yourself moving forward?

Life is difficult and we don't have to do it alone. I look forward to having the chance to understand who you are. I have over 20 years of experience working with clients of all ages who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger, family conflict, coping with grief and loss, relationship issues, addiction, co-dependency, self-esteem and trauma. My approach to counseling is person centered. I believe you are the first and best expert on yourself. I focus on truly hearing what you believe about your own needs and concerns.

Hello, I'm Dr. Chris Chroniak. For 38 years I have assisted individuals struggling with depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, divorce, OCD, a relationship or lack of one, as well as numerous other psychological and emotional issues. I begin therapy by developing a warm and genuine relationship with my client. We then work together to explore and work through the underlying issues that block growth and cause pain or discomfort. I also teach my clients practical and effective tools that help them deal with painful and troubling thoughts and feelings, as they occur, moment by moment.
