Hinsdale’s Premier Counseling Practice
We make getting help simple so you can live
a life that delights you.
Our Focus
We are here to help.
At Life Insight, we offer the therapy you need for the season you’re in.
Anxiety Counseling
If anxiety has made even the simplest tasks in your life feel overwhelming and kept you from experiencing all the good in your life, we are here to help.
Teen Counseling
The only thing harder than being a teenager is raising one. Let us help you find harmony and connection as your teen becomes a happy, successful adult.
Depression Counseling
There is hope and a way out. Let us lead you there. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If you struggle to find joy in your life – we are here to help.
Family & Relationship Counseling
Whether you’re struggling with major conflicts, or want to improve relationships, our team of therapists can help you build better connections.
Child Counseling
Kids today have to face pressures we, as parents, never had to deal with. Our therapists work with children that struggle at home or school.
Eating Disorder Treatment
The battle against an eating disorder has little to do with food. If you or someone you know might have an eating disorder, we want to help.
EDMR & Hypnotherapy
EDMR & Hypnotherapy practices can help you free yourself from trauma and PTSD and manage your reaction to it.
Grief & Loss Counseling
We know how traumatic it can be to lose someone close or to experience another major life change. If you feel like your life is out of control, we can help.
Trauma & PTSD Counseling
You are not defined by the bad things that have happened to you. We will give you the tools you need to process through what happened so you can heal.
Life Coaching
If you have big dreams, but don’t know how to achieve them, then you might be a good fit for life coaching. You’ve got goals. We’ll help you reach them.
Stress Management Counseling
Life is stressful. We will assist you in developing the coping skills you need to handle your stress so it doesn’t keep you from living the life you want to live.
Life Transition Coaching
Life is always changing. We are here to help you deal with the range of emotions that can come with major life transitions and handle them with grace.
We make getting help simple.
Life Insight is a full-service counseling practice in the heart of Hinsdale. We’ve been a resource for the families of this community for over 15 years, providing care to all ages.
Our clients are people just like you, juggling the demands of work, family, and community involvement. They, like most of us, have a clear vision of where they want life to go – but aren’t quite sure how to get there. That’s where we come in.
Our therapists are incredibly skilled guides, helping you and your family navigate through even the hardest of seasons in a way that best meets your needs.
Our Vision
I started Life Insight with the sole purpose of creating a home for our clients and therapists – a place where they could be supported, achieve the goals they set for themselves, and thrive in their lives, their work, and their relationships. We are proud to serve Hinsdale and the surrounding community and are honored by the meaningful relationships we experience with our clients.
