AMK CounselingGroup practice

What services does your practice offer?

AMK Counseling provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children, teens, adults, and families navigating a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Our clinicians specialize in treating anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, ADHD, women's health, and major life transitions, while also supporting concerns such as parenting stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and executive functioning challenges. We offer individual therapy, child and adolescent therapy, and family support, using approaches such as EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and SPACE therapy for anxiety. Sessions are available both in person at our Chicago offices and through secure telehealth, allowing clients to access personalized care in a way that fits their lives and schedules.

At the heart of our work is the belief that therapy should be a partnership and collaborative. We create a welcoming space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly about what’s difficult, and discovering new ways to move forward with greater confidence, success, and hope.

Why should I choose your practice?

Choosing a therapist is an important and personal decision. At AMK Counseling, we believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning. Our clinicians are known for being warm, approachable, and highly skilled, creating a welcoming environment where clients of all ages can talk openly and feel genuinely heard.

Most importantly, our goal is not just to help people cope, but to help them move beyond simply “getting by.” We are committed to helping clients build insight, confidence, and resilience so they can live more fulfilling lives. We don't want you just "looking" successful outwardly, we want you to actually feel successful.

Our therapists work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences, develop practical tools, and create meaningful, lasting change.

How does payment work at your practice?

We are in-network with most Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna plans, and we will submit claims directly to your insurance when applicable. Your out-of-pocket cost will depend on your specific plan and may include a co-pay, deductible, or coinsurance determined by your insurance provider.

We can also submit claims for many out of network plans. Because every policy is different, we encourage clients to contact their insurance company to confirm coverage before beginning services.

If you prefer not to use insurance, self-pay options are also available. Our rate ranges between $160-$180. Our team is happy to discuss fees, answer questions about benefits, and help you understand your payment options so you can focus on what matters most- your well-being.
