A practice with one quiet aim

Secure video appointments are available for patients throughout Illinois, using a platform that meets healthcare privacy requirements. Many patients find that telehealth allows them to engage in care more consistently — without the logistics of travel, parking, or time away from work. The clinical quality of a telehealth session at this practice is taken as seriously as an in-person one, and the same unhurried attention applies.

Where clinically appropriate, both psychiatric care and psychotherapy are available through HIPAA-compliant telehealth. The same clinicians, the same care — delivered to wherever you can find a quiet, private space within your state of residence.

• Telepsychiatry medication management
• Teletherapy for psychotherapy and couples care
• Secure, HIPAA-compliant platform
• Equal-fee, in-network billing where your plan permits

Individual therapy here is shaped around the person sitting in the room, not a one-size protocol applied regardless of fit. Our licensed therapists draw on evidence-based approaches — including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance-based methods, and psychodynamic work — and choose what is most likely to be useful for your particular situation. Sessions are held with the kind of steadiness and attentiveness that allows real therapeutic work to unfold.

Our therapists are independently licensed (LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, LPC, PsyD, or PhD) and matched to your care based on your goals and the modalities best suited to them. Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or biweekly to start.

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills
• Psychodynamic and supportive psychotherapy
• Trauma-focused care
• Perinatal and postpartum-specific therapy

Relational care at Lakefront Medical Partners takes seriously the idea that the people in the room all deserve to feel respected by the process. Couples and family sessions are structured to create enough safety for honest conversation, and the work tends to move at a pace that allows insights to settle rather than accumulate without being integrated. We work with adults navigating communication ruptures, grief, life transitions, and the longer patterns that shape how people relate to one another.

Relationships are part of behavioral health. Our couples and family clinicians are trained in evidence-based systemic and relational modalities, and care is delivered with the same evidence base as our individual treatment.

• Couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method-informed)
• Family therapy for adults and adult-child family units
• Parent guidance for adults navigating parenting under stress

Beyond general psychiatric and therapeutic services, Lakefront Medical Partners offers focused care for adults navigating specific clinical presentations — including anxiety disorders, mood conditions, trauma, and the particular weight that grief and major life transitions can carry. These specialty areas are not add-on programs but reflect the clinical depth our team has developed through sustained work with adults facing these experiences.

Some conditions benefit from a clinician with focused training. Our specialty programs are organized around the diagnostic categories that present most often in adult outpatient behavioral health, staffed by clinicians with additional training in each area.

• Anxiety disorders
• Mood disorders
• Trauma and PTSD
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions
• Workplace burnout
• Chronic medical conditions co-occurring with mental health

Psychiatric care at Lakefront Medical Partners begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation — enough time to understand your history, your symptoms, and what has and has not worked before. Medication, when it is part of your care, is introduced thoughtfully and monitored with attention. Our psychiatrists see follow-up appointments as an opportunity for genuine check-in, not a quick prescription renewal.

Our psychiatric care is delivered by physicians who completed an MD or DO, a four-year residency in psychiatry, and who hold board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Visits are scheduled at the frequency your care requires.

• Diagnostic psychiatric evaluation
• Ongoing psychiatric medication management
• Coordination with primary care & specialty providers
• Care for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions
• Telehealth or in-person at your preference
