This guide is designed to help individuals and families in Glen Ellyn, Lombard, and surrounding Illinois communities understand the types of therapy available and how to find the best support for their challenges. 

What we’re experiencing isn’t just “stress.” It’s a mental health crisis driven by two major forces: gun violence and political unrest. The good news? Understanding why we feel this way, and what we can do about it, is the first step towards regaining a sense of control. We have the power to cope and heal.

The truth is, you don’t need to wait until things reach a crisis. Kids don’t have to be in a dire situation to gain from therapy. Just as we take them for regular check-ups at the doctor, therapy is a safe and proactive way to support their emotional well-being and help them develop skills to manage their emotions as their brains and hormones respond to their environment.
