Our Specialized ServicesAt Optimum Joy Counseling, we specialize in evidence-based treatments for common challenges:
Anxiety Disorders: We understand how overwhelming excessive worry or fear can be.

Trauma Recovery: Whether stemming from a single incident or complex experiences, trauma can significantly impact your well-being. We offer compassionate trauma-informed care, including specialized therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Experiencing, designed to help you process difficult memories, regulate emotions, and rebuild trust in yourself and the world.

We believe everyone's journey is unique, which is why we tailor our interventions to your specific circumstances, goals, and cultural background.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat can I expect in my first session?
The first session is an opportunity for us to learn more about you and your concerns. You'll have the chance to ask questions about our process and the therapists. We will gather information about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, and together, we'll work to establish clear goals for your treatment journey.
How do I choose the right therapist for me?
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. During your initial consultation, you can ask questions and get a sense of whether a particular therapist feels like the right fit for you. Consider factors like their therapeutic approach, areas of expertise, and rapport. We encourage you to be an active participant in this important step.
Do you accept insurance?
Optimum Joy Counseling provides quality care regardless of insurance status. While we do not directly bill insurance companies, we can provide you with super-bills that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend verifying your specific insurance benefits and out-of-pocket costs directly with your plan.
What is the cost of therapy sessions?
Our fees are based on factors like the therapist's experience and the type of service provided. We offer various session lengths and sliding scale options based on income to ensure therapy is accessible. Please contact our office at (312) 772-9796 to discuss fees and payment options.
How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy varies significantly depending on individual needs, the nature of the concerns, and personal goals. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (a few months), while others engage in longer-term work (over a year). We will collaboratively determine the appropriate length of treatment based on your progress and objectives.
