Dr. Nefertiti Nowell, MS PHD NCC LCPC CLC
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.

Jennifer K. Ferris, LCSW
My main objective is to help clients feel like they are the center of initiative in their own lives: not just reacting to all that impinges upon them, not just doing what other people want them to do all the time and not just feeling at peace when they are all alone. Instead, clients can become the center of their own connections. Since obtaining my Master’s from The University of Chicago in 2006, I have been providing traditional psychotherapy, as well as, utilizing behavioral techniques including CBT and DBT to make sure clients meet their desired outcome goals. This can be done through individual, couples, family, group and mediation sessions to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger management, social phobias, self-injury, eating disorders, substance use, medical illness and more. I also value working with diverse populations of all ages. I think pets and animals can also help speed recovery while providing necessary comfort and companionship. Currently, I have three dogs that I love to pet, walk, train and just spend time with. I am committed to helping clients be the change they want to see in their lives. It is a challenge to see yourself differently; here you can.

Julie Berg-Einhorn, LCSW, CADC
I feel passionate in the work I do with individuals, couples and families as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Licensed Marital and Family Therapist and a Certified Addiction Counselor. I view my work with clients as a partnership. We each bring expertise to the work we do together: I, through my many years of practice experience and education as a clinician and yours through unique individual life experience. We can achieve the goals you set for yourself as we work through the topics that have kept you from moving forward in a positive direction. My style is supportive yet will challenge you to look deeper at the issues that have been identified with oneself, relationships and/or in your career path. Life is a journey with many twists and turns that sometimes can hold us back from getting where we would like to be in our life. I welcome beginning this exploration together.
As for my background, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Iowa, my Master’s degree in Social Work from Yeshiva University and my post graduate certificate in couple and family work from the Family Institute/Northwestern University.
I believe in work-life balance, so when I am not working I am either reading, tending to my family, or playing hockey.

Rayeshundra Henderson LCPC
In life, there’s not always a “right place, right time” but rather a “I’m making this the right place and time.” Life is all about decisions good or bad, but how you deal with the outcome is up to you. For the last 10 + years, I’ve worked with teens from various backgrounds helping to transform their current situation by providing the outlet they could not find in many places. I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.
In my personal life, I’ve provided the light and guidance that many people need to think clearly about their situation and make the next step. Light tends to lead the way, and that path is on the other side of your next decision.

Kim Kali-Schultes LCSW
I am grateful to engage with others in the life changing and healing work of therapy. It is in healing our wounds, and breaking old patterns that we learn to embrace who we are. I believe every single person has the capacity to heal and it would be my honor to work with you to unlock your natural strength and resilience. Together, we can find your way home to yourself.
I work with adults and my primary focus is on relationships, trauma, codependency, divorce & life transitions, family of origin issues, mindfulness, spirituality, and shame resiliency.
My 25 years of experience includes working with diverse populations and organizations, to include federal and state governments, hospitals, schools, non-profits and community agencies.
I am certified as a Relational Life Therapist (RLT) in working with couples. I am a Certified Daring Way Facilitator (CDWF), based on the research of Brene Brown. This approach gives language to the universal, and often unspeakable experience of shame with tools for moving through these stuck places.
