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.

A Psychologist holds a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) and is licensed to provide therapy and to conduct Psychological Testing. A psychotherapist is a broader term for licensed clinicians — including Psychologists, clinical social workers (LCSW), professional counselors (LCPC), and marriage and family therapists (LMFT) — who provide talk therapy. Grand Oaks Behavioral Health employs both, and we match you with the clinician best suited to your needs.
Start with the concern you want help with and the person the care is for — a child, a teen, yourself, or your relationship. Look for a licensed clinician who specializes in that area, accepts your insurance, and offers a format (in-person or telehealth) that fits your life. At Grand Oaks, our Intake Team does this matching for you: call (847) 549-1189 and we'll recommend the right clinician on our Northbrook team.
