Therapists in Chicago, IL

The current healthcare industry has failed many people living with chronic physical and mental health diseases. People are faced with a large push for psychiatric medication, misdiagnosis, and ​a one-dimensional approach to treatment. ​It is time for a more holistic, whole-body solution to people’s health. This is the pledge that Nelmar Health Centers have made. No matter what you are struggling with, Nelmar Health Centers can help you live a happier and healthier life. We offer comprehensive diagnostic measures, counseling, Neurotherapy, cognitive rehabilitation, dietary and herb management, yoga, and meditation under one roof.

Our Mental Health and Social Justice Clinic provides comprehensive psychological evaluations and therapy to kids, teens, adults, and seniors. We provide trauma informed individual, couples, family, and group sessions. As well as yoga and mindfulness sessions, and art therapy. We are specialists in trauma informed therapy and our practice provides individual, couples, group, and family therapy services. Our licensed and skilled team of therapists is devoted to providing quality therapy services and our social justice team is committed to seeing you thrive in the community.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

You are not alone....therapy is a journey that helps you get an understanding of where you have been, and where you would like to be. It's a chance to start something new and trust in the power of new beginnings. I believe that everyone has the potential for greatness, and sometimes it's important to talk through issues that are preventing you from achieving your goals. Together we will find ways to better understand the road blocks that are preventing you from moving forward, and develop healthier coping strategies and behaviors that will achieve greater results for your new journey.

As a bilingual, Latina, first generation social worker, I know that trying new things can be exciting, unpredictable, and even scary! Wherever you are in your healing journey, therapy is a big step to take, and I'm glad you are here. While I believe you already have what it takes to succeed, a trained therapist can join you to support your unique journey and provide customized skills-training and tools to overcome life’s challenges. Bringing in several years of clinical and leadership experience, I utilize a comprehensive and strengths-based approach that incorporates various modalities, including but not limited to the below:

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Expressive Arts Therapist in Chicago, IL. My holistic framework and creative process supports the whole person improving physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual well being. Combining Psychotherapy, Expressive Arts therapies and EMDR, I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to gently explore the underlying causes of symptoms, expand self-awareness, learn valuable coping skills, embrace self-compassion, connect the mind and body, and rewrite your past narrative. All of you is welcome here. Share your voice, speak your truth, take up space.

The first step to making a change is identifying that there is a problem. Each person is so vastly different, there is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. When working with clients, I integrate tenants from various therapeutic approaches to fit the individuals needs that day. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, a significant life-event or change, the right therapist can make all the difference.

I am Dr. Sylvia Kobe, and I am a Licensed Clinical psychologist. My associate Dr. Mary-Zitta Muabe and I collaborate to cover a broad counseling spectrum. Together Dr. Muabe and I specialize in marriage, family therapy, and spiritual maturity. We also work with teens, young adults, and individuals battling anxiety, depression, or struggles to cope with every-life issues. We believe in empowering our clients, encouraging them to see that life is all about second chances, and with the right kind of intervention, the best is yet to come.

Life can be difficult and messy, but also beautiful. I believe wholeheartedly in helping others find the beauty and balance the uncertainty in their lives through a collaborative process. As your therapist, I will listen and provide support and guidance on your journey. I believe growth and change are best fostered in an environment where you feel heard, seen, respected, safe, and valued. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where growth is cultivated to find a deeper understanding of self and ultimately evolve as you discover the power within yourself to create lasting change.

You’ve been thoughtful about the direction and choices you’ve made in life but you wonder: why don't you feel good about it? What ‘s gone wrong? Or, worse: just what’s wrong with me? A part of you yearns for change, but what’s the first thing to do? It can be overwhelming facing these feelings and thoughts alone. It’s essential to find a therapist who can support and guide you through them so change can be found.
