My passion lies in working with women who are seeking support while navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PMDD, perimenopause, fertility treatments and family planning, as well as those in the perinatal period. I offer an integrative approach to treatment, which includes: traditional medication, botanicals/nutraceuticals, healthy sleep habits, ecotherapy, supportive & mindfulness-based psychotherapy, healthy movement and nutrition, and forming a supportive network. I have received additional training in Integrative & Reproductive psychiatry, studying under Dr. Anna Glezer and Dr. Kate Salama.

I work with people interested in forming a relationship, primarily through therapy or therapy combined with medication work. I employ a whole-body approach and I can incorporate complementary modalities for integrative healing. I approach with understanding mental health issues through individual lens as well as family, social and cultural context. I love working with students, those from different cultural backgrounds, as well as those in the education and medical/mental health professions. My goal is to facilitate each person to find their own path in the midst of their healthcare journey.

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner and have been providing mental health services for 2 years in outpatient and in home settings. I see individuals, couples, families and I address anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, Hyperactive Disorder (ADD / ADHD), and mood disorders.

Relationship problems, struggles at work, and life events can challenge our ability to cope and ultimately to thrive in life. Patterns may emerge in your life that are confusing, that make you feel stuck, uncertain, and conflicted. Life transitions can tax our internal resources, and we may find ourselves lacking in fulfillment and happiness. Above all, I strive to support my clients to increase their life satisfaction, reduce their suffering, and strengthen their relationships and capacity for joy.

I truly believe the only path to healing is "through." I plan to help you heal through the wounds that hold you back. With a combination of medication prescribing (if needed), talk therapy, skill building, and body work you can get to a place of thriving and aligning with your desires. Using techniques that are safe, non judgemental and open, together we will come up with a plan just for you.

I provide psychiatry and mind health services for children/adolescents and adults.

Life is hard; I'm sure you've noticed. If you are one of the millions of Americans who doesn't like the way you feel, I may be able to help in some way. Most patients make an appointment because they are having difficulty in school, at home, at work, or in retirement. Some have seen a psychiatrist their whole life. Others are looking for the first time.

Greetings! My name is Dr. Theresa Towle. I have decades of experience providing holistic care to help heal hurt, process trauma, build resilience, and find balance. As a dual-certified family & psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner, I use evidence-based techniques to treat mind and body, including addressing the role of the gut-brain axis in anxiety, depression, trauma, attention issues, weight loss and a host of other issues. I am dedicated to working with you develop a holistic approach to care.

Have you been feeling unwell? Do you feel like you do not have a voice when it comes to your own mental health and wellness? Have you ever felt like your medications are continually increased or new medications added without any improvement in your symptoms? The humanity we share is more important than the mental illness we may not. As a practitioner, I strive to bring focus back to treating you as a whole rather than an isolated disorder. My focus in treatment is to provide a holistically dynamic integration of therapy and medication management with the goal of helping you lead a life unhindered by your mental health.

I look forward to the prospect of working with you. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psychiatric medication management and supportive therapy for adult clients ages 18 and above. I am double board-certified as a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of healthcare experience. I am dedicated to maximizing your health and wellness by integrating traditional healthcare with complementary/alternative therapies in order to prevent/manage chronic illness and promote a healthy lifestyle.

I am a board certified adult, child & adolescent psychiatrist. I completed medical school at the University of Illinois in Chicago, a general (adult) psychiatry residency at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and a child psychiatry fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina. The training I received in residency and fellowship has prepared me to manage essentially any psychiatric issue that comes through my clinic doors, regardless of severity or complexity.

Welcome to North Side Psychiatry. I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified adult psychiatrist who helps patients thrive in the face of life transitions. Whether a new parent, college student, recently separated person, or are at any other stage in your life, my goal is to collaborate with you to move your journey forward. I provide a supportive and validating experience as we work collaboratively to develop your unique treatment plan. I have extensive experience with perinatal mental illness, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attentional disorders.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience providing mental health services to patients across the lifespan in outpatient treatment settings.

I am most interested in collaborating in a way that allows for optimal outcomes. How this takes form depends on your individual needs. A common difficulty people face is obtaining clear information from their doctor. It can be frustrating for the patient and for the family to receive information from a team of providers in a way that sounds like individual voices that are not in synchrony as opposed to a concise, cogent summary of the available information that affects decision-making.

Since 1995, Dr. Amer Smajkic has been practicing Psychiatry in the Chicago area. As a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Smajkic is applying his knowledge and skills as a Psycho-pharmacologist, Behaviorist and Cognitive Behavioral therapist. The focus of his care are ADHD disorders, Learning disorders, Developmental disorders, Mood disorders and Anxiety disorders.

I provide medication management and therapy for many conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and other conditions. When we meet for our first video session, we'll discuss your symptoms and treatment goals and we'll carefully select medications that fit your unique needs. I am based in Chicago, and I see clients in IL, WA, OR, AZ, NM, MT, AK, ND, and DE, all via telehealth. I am accepting new clients, and I treat both adults and adolescents. I'm excited for the opportunity to work with you.
