We are an independent private practice of mental health professionals dedicated to helping people affected by a chronic physical illness. We have expertise in working with people diagnosed with digestive conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and eosinophilic diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis. Taking care of your mental well-being is as important as taking care of your physical well-being. Our providers can help you cope with your diagnosis, manage your medical treatment, and improve your quality of life. We also work with people who are trying to improve healthy habits and manage their weight, or who are considering bariatric surgery. Conveniently located in Oak Park, Illinois with easy access from public transportation (CTA Blue Line) and major expressways. Some insurance accepted. Evenings and weekend hours are available.
