North Riverside Therapists specializing in Anxiety

Allison Scolaro

My clients usually are struggling with complex anxiety, phobias, OCD, or complex traumas and PTSD.

Lori Bolnick

My clients prefer telehealth services. Whether they feel more comfortable accessing therapy from home or have difficulty attending "in person" sessions because of chronic and acute health issues, my schedule allows for weekly appointments with little to no wait time. I always keep my caseload small to accommodate my clients needs, so they feel like they can access support whenever they need it. My PsyPact APIT allows me to provide support whether you are at home, away at college, or traveling.

Karla Rennhofer

Clients whom I’ve worked well with are often experiencing issues such as relationship problems, work stress/burnout, life transitions, low self-esteem, emotional abuse/neglect, childhood trauma/injuries, work/secondary trauma, anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging behaviors. I've worked with creative people, such as writers and actors, to help bring their work to fruition. I also work with people in the medical/mental health/health fields, and those that work in high-tempo environments.

Jennifer DiCostanzo

My ideal client is someone who is wanting to make changes and appreciates a direct, but empathetic approach that will sometimes include humor. As a therapist, I will not give you advice but rather help you identify maladaptive patterns, coping skills, behaviors, etc. and work with you on changing those things that are a barrier to happiness and contentment. I believe my clients are their own experts and as such, believe they should drive their treatment and their goals.

Samire Qosaj

Are you an immigrant or a first-generation American navigating the intricate intersection of culture, religion, and identity? I am a first generation Muslim American. Albanian is my first language, and I am happy to work with clients in Albanian. English is my second language. I have tackled my own issues around identity with religion and the western world, and continue to do so as I navigate my own intersectionality.

Amy Springer Robinson

Maybe you have been living with depression and anxiety or feeling outcasted in life for as long as you can remember. Perhaps you're an adult who was recently given or self-diagnosed as neurodivergent. You could be an individual or couple seeking out new ways to build and maintain healthy intimacy or looking to explore your varying personal and sexual identities. No matter what brings you to therapy, I firmly believe that human connection is at the center of each of our lived experiences.

Caitlin Ruby Miller

Are you ready to build a more authentic life for yourself in 2025, one that reflects your growing sense of who you are? I specialize in working with clients exploring neurodiversity, autism, "giftedness", creativity, ADHD, queerness, relationships, perfectionism, gender, anxiety, and depression. I utilize an eclectic style tailored to each client, with experience in creating lasting, meaningful changes for folks who have previously had difficult therapeutic experiences or are new to therapy.

Margaret Shouse

The ups and downs of everyday life can not only cause you uncertainty and exhaustion but can also make individuals feel stuck with what to do next. This can lead to us doubting our self-worth and our ability to live a more fulfilling life. As a therapist, I am here to meet you where you are at in this moment. I want to lend you a listening ear and provide you comfort in knowing that you have my full support.

Katherine Work

I am especially helpful for people who struggle with anxiety or self-esteem issues. If stress management matters to you, then I’m your gal. To me, it is important that therapy is not just about talking: it is also about taking action. You are dealing with specific problems. We will try specific approaches to work on them while learning and practicing adaptive strategies that you can utilize for the rest of your life.

Nathan Schuyler

I have a passion for working with those confronting uncertainties around their sense of identity and how they express themselves. These uncertainties may stem from issues related to gender identity and sexuality, difficulties with body image, or feeling lost in the transitional stages of life. I also deeply value understanding the unique background of every individual and how the intersectionality of various identities impacts the equally unique nature of everyone's lived experiences.

Online Therapy

Jessica Ryan, Psy.D.

When we find ourselves held back or stuck in life, it can be difficult to see another way. We may go through the motions of each day, but know deep down that we feel unhappy, anxious, vulnerable, scared, and hurt. Our history, identities, and relationships are key to understanding why we feel stuck, and how we can feel free. I am committed to helping you feel free to be your authentic self, to choose what you want in life, and to let go of or make peace with the things that no longer serve you.

Online Therapy

Dawn Leprich-Graves

I work with clients who share a common desire: to break free from the grip of perfectionism & control, genuinely connect with others and live in-alignment with their values. Many of my clients are women who are self-diagnosed/newly diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, and they're ready to embrace their authentic selves. In our sessions, my clients enjoy a blend of humor & compassion, creating a space where they feel understood and supported on their journey towards acceptance & fulfillment.

Do you often feel anxious, sad, or stuck? Maybe you're having trouble in relationships or with your family, dealing with the effects of a difficult experience, or going through a tough period.

I will support you where you are and guide you toward becoming the person you want to be.

Amy Brinkman

Anxiety is exhausting and can feel completely overwhelming. I look forward to teaching you new skills that will lead to relief of these symptoms! OCD is an extreme form of anxiety, and there are tools that work including ERP therapy, mindulness and more. In addition, past unresolved traumatic memories are often the root of compulsive/obsessive thinking. EMDR therapy is a way out of this. I look forward to working together to find just the right tools for you.
