Grounded, practical therapy for real life

At Yes and Therapy, I offer therapy for adults and couples in Illinois through a warm, grounded, and practical approach. Growth isn’t about choosing one truth over another — it’s about learning to hold the whole picture, improve communication, and develop tools you can actually use in daily life.

Therapy that balances insight and real-world change

I help individuals and couples build clarity, improve communication, and develop practical skills they can use every day. My approach combines directness and curiosity with grounded techniques drawn from DBT, attachment theory, and mindfulness-based practices.

  • Collaborative sessions focused on understanding patterns and building flexibility
  • Practical tools you can use between sessions
  • Clarifying insight that helps you see the bigger picture

“I’ve worked with Seth the past two years, and I wish I could add more adjectives to describe him. He’s authentic, kind, compassionate, and not afraid to call you out on your stuff. I’ve had many therapists, and Seth is one of the best.”

“Seth takes the time to understand my background and offers thoughtful, individualized guidance. He’s professional, honest, and doesn’t give cookie-cutter advice. He’s also recommended books and movies that helped me feel less alone and more confident in facing my struggles.”

If you’re wondering whether therapy might help

People come to therapy for many reasons. Sometimes it’s in the midst of a crisis; other times it’s because something feels off, familiar patterns keep repeating, or the ways you’ve been coping no longer feel sustainable.

Therapy offers a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and work toward change with curiosity rather than judgment — whether you’re feeling overwhelmed right now or simply wanting something to feel different.

If having a grounded, supportive place to explore these questions feels useful, therapy might be worth considering.

Considering your next step

If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, questions around identity, or patterns related to addiction or recovery — therapy can offer a place to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and work toward change at a pace that feels manageable.
