Our approach
Why families choose Grand Oaks
Matched, not assigned
Tell our Intake Team what you need and they choose the clinician who specialises in it, at whichever office suits you.
Treatments with evidence behind them
CBT, DBT, Gottman Method, Cogmed, and trauma-informed care — picked for your situation rather than for our convenience.
Care that respects who you are
Sensitive to culture, race, faith, gender identity, and sexual orientation, because none of that is incidental to the work.
Two offices, plus all of Illinois
Northbrook, Libertyville, or secure video from home — the same clinicians and the same standard either way.
In-network, including Medicare
Medicare, Medicare Advantage and BCBS Community Medicaid alongside the major commercial plans — and your benefits verified before the first appointment, not after.
Testing under the same roof
Psychological Testing for ADHD, learning differences and diagnostic clarity — done by our own Psychologists, so an evaluation and the therapy that follows are one plan.

I've been with Grand Oaks now for at least 6 months. My therapist listens to all my problems and helps guide me in the right direction. When I'm in tears she makes me feel so good by telling me I am a good person, always building me up and my confidence. And the ladies at the front office are the best — everyone there makes me feel right at home.
