Psychotherapy for adults, children and families
Brain stimulation can change how the brain is working. Therapy helps you put that change to use in daily life. We offer psychotherapy for adults, children and families at our Lombard clinic, on its own or alongside TMS, with one team that talks to each other.

Who therapy is for
- Adults working through depression, anxiety, OCD or a hard stretch of life
- Children and teens who need help with big feelings, worries, behavior or school stress
- Families, including parents and siblings, who want to work on things together
- Anyone in TMS treatment who wants support while their symptoms change, and a plan for staying well afterward
Why we offer both
TMS and talk therapy approach the same problem from two directions. TMS works on the activity of brain networks. Therapy works on the thoughts, habits and relationships those networks support.
Many people find that therapy becomes easier to use once treatment starts to help: there is more energy for the work, and new skills stick better. That is the reason we built therapy into the clinic.
What therapy looks like here
Your first session is a conversation about what has been happening and what you want to change. From there, you and your therapist agree on goals and on how often to meet. With children, parents are part of that conversation from the start.
If you’re also having TMS, we schedule therapy around your sessions and share notes within the team, with your permission, so your care points in one direction.
Family therapy
A diagnosis affects everyone in the house. Family sessions give parents, children and siblings a place to talk about what is hard, agree on how to handle it and notice what is going well. For families of autistic children, that can mean working on routines, communication and the strain that builds up between appointments.
Therapy for specific conditions
For OCD, exposure and response prevention is the best-studied therapy, and TMS was studied alongside it. For anxiety and depression, cognitive behavioral approaches have the strongest evidence. Ask us which approaches our therapists use for your situation, and whether we’re the right fit or should help you find someone who is.
