Bergen Counseling Collective

You're juggling a lot right now. Classes, relationships, figuring out what you actually want to do with your life, maybe dealing with family stuff that followed you to college. Some days you feel fine. Other days, getting out of bed feels like a win.

Maybe you're dealing with anxiety that won't shut off, the racing thoughts at 2am, the knot in your stomach before class, the way you replay conversations wondering if you said the wrong thing. Or maybe it's more like a fog, low motivation, feeling disconnected, going through the motions without really being present.

We work with college students and young adults who are navigating:

- Anxiety that gets in the way of school, friendships, or just feeling okay
- Depression, low mood, or losing interest in things you used to care about
- Relationship issues with partners, friends, roommates, or family
- Identity questions: who you are, who you're becoming, who you want to be
- Stress from academic pressure, career uncertainty, or feeling behind
- Trauma or difficult past experiences that keep showing up
- Coming out, gender identity, or finding your place in the LGBTQ+ community
- Feeling like you have to have it all figured out (you don't)

We're not going to tell you what to do or give you a bunch of homework. Therapy here is a conversation. We create a space where you can say the things you don't say out loud and figure out what's actually going on. We'll meet you where you are.

We offer in-person sessions in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood and telehealth throughout Illinois. We accept BCBS PPO and Aetna PPO insurance and are happy to set up a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we are the right fit for you.
