You deserve support that sees the full picture,

Therapy for the entire arc
of becoming -and being- yourself.


Whether you're:

Navigating the wild terrain of fertility, postpartum, or parenting

Untangling family dynamics that no longer serve you

Supporting your child through big feelings

Or realizing you want a different life than the one you were handed—

Parenthood, healing, breaking patterns, or just trying to get through the day—none of it is as simple as we’re led to believe.

We're a collective, not a clinic.

You’re not just a case or a diagnosis. You're a whole person. Our team brings warmth, humor, and genuine presence to the therapeutic space—combining evidence-based approaches with somatic and creative modalities that meet you where you are.

what makes us different

We know healing doesn’t happen on a schedule.

We offer virtual sessions through Illinois and Indiana. Additionally we see clients in our offices in Chicago, IL Mt. Prospect, IL and Crown Point, IN locations—plus resources and workshops that support you beyond the therapy hour.





We hold the messy middle.

This work is never linear. We’re here for the moments when things feel stuck, chaotic, or uncertain—when the old ways don’t work but the new ones haven’t arrived yet. That liminal space? It’s our favorite place to start.

choice

At EMC, we believe that healing begins with agency. Everyone deserves to feel ownership over their body, their story, and their care. We honor consent—informed, ongoing, and freely given—as a vital part of every therapeutic relationship. We support our clients in making choices that feel right for them, understanding that empowerment grows when people feel respected, heard, and in control. In every step of the healing process, choice isn’t just offered—it’s centered.

wisdom

 At EMC, we honor the wisdom that exists within each of us—our bodies, our experiences, and our intuition. While life may have made it difficult to listen, we believe in reclaiming that inner knowing and staying open to learning from ourselves and others. As clinicians, we are committed to deepening our own wisdom through ongoing growth, reflection, and curiosity. Healing is not about finding all the answers but about trusting the knowledge that already exists within us.

community

At EMC, we believe in the power of the collective—because healing, parenting, and life itself were never meant to be done alone. We recognize the importance of “building the village,” creating spaces where support is mutual, voices are heard, and no one has to carry their struggles in isolation. Whether in motherhood, healing, or personal growth, we are stronger when we have our people. EMC is committed to fostering a community where connection, belonging, and shared wisdom thrive.

compassion

At EMC, we know that compassion—especially for ourselves—is often the hardest to practice, yet it is essential for healing. Many of us are quick to offer kindness to others but struggle to extend the same grace inward. We believe in creating a culture of care that acknowledges struggle without judgment, encourages self-forgiveness, and nurtures the understanding that we are all doing the best we can. In a world that can be harsh, we choose to meet ourselves and others with softness, knowing that true healing begins with compassion.

healing

At EMC, we believe healing means learning to feel safe in your body, reclaim your voice, and trust your capacity to move through pain with support. We see our role not as fixers, but as guides—helping each person access the wisdom, resilience, and strength that already exist within them. We know healing isn’t linear. It may unfold slowly, in layers, with setbacks and breakthroughs along the way. But every moment of reconnection matters. With care, consistency, and the right support, healing becomes not only possible—it becomes yours.
