We are a cooperative of independent professionals dedicated to providing innovative, thoughtful, and compassionate psychotherapy.

Our cooperative is multidisciplinary and includes psychologists, social workers, professional counselors, and a nutritionist.

The Awakening Center is an outpatient private practice. While we are perhaps best known for our work with eating disorders, we also have specialized training and expertise with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and many other psychological concerns. We offer individual, family and couples treatment, as well as Substance Abuse Counseling, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Mindfulness Meditation, Art Therapy, and Movement Therapy.

We integrate the most effective elements of diverse orientations: psychodynamic, cognitive/behavioral, and experiential therapies and we approach each client as a unique individual, and strive to form a close, collaborative working relationship to facilitate lasting change.

While we are able to help most who seek our services, if you are in acute crisis or have severe or medically dangerous symptoms, you may require more intensive treatment than we can provide. For crisis intervention in the Chicago area, call Northwestern Memorial Hospital at (312) 926-8100.
