About us
Our Libertyville therapists and licensed Psychologists have served families across Lake County for nearly 20 years. Grand Oaks Behavioral Health is a group of experienced Psychologists and psychotherapists with specialized training, recognized by national professional organizations. Our highly qualified, state-licensed clinicians average more than 15 years of experience in their respective fields.
The commitments behind that are plain ones: to treat you with concern, dignity, and respect; to provide competent, compassionate therapeutic services; and to be sensitive to culture, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. Whether you are coming from Mundelein, Vernon Hills, Gurnee, or Lake Forest, you are seen by the same clinical team and held to the same standard of care as at our Northbrook office.

Learn more →What we treat
Our Psychologists and psychotherapists can help with the emotional and behavioral health problems below. One or more of them may be affecting you as an individual, as a couple, or as a family, and they rarely stay in one part of a life for long. When a difficulty starts to get in the way of managing day to day, the right therapy makes a difference — and the first step is simply naming what you are dealing with.
Our approach
Our Intake Team asks what you are dealing with and who the care is for, then matches you to the clinician whose training fits — not simply to whoever has an opening.
CBT, DBT, the Gottman Method, Cogmed, and trauma-informed practice, applied to your situation rather than run to a script.
The practice states it plainly: competent, compassionate therapeutic services, sensitive to culture, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation.
Just off Milwaukee Avenue and Route 137, minutes from the Libertyville Metra station — or by secure video if the drive is the thing standing in the way.

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.
