About

Center for Emotional Wellness of the Northwest Suburbs is a group counseling practice whose Crystal Lake office on South McHenry Avenue serves McHenry County, with a second office in Arlington Heights, plus telehealth across Illinois and several other states where its clinicians hold licenses. The team of licensed clinical professional counselors, clinical social workers, psychologists, a board-certified music therapist and a registered dietitian works with children, teens, young adults, adults, couples and families. Its approach is practical and skills-based, so sessions focus on hands-on strategies clients can use at school, at work, at home and in relationships, using CBT, DBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), EMDR, play therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness. Common concerns include anxiety and OCD, depression, school refusal and school anxiety, ADHD and executive functioning, autism and other neurodivergent needs, self-injury, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, eating disorders with nutrition counseling, addiction, domestic violence, perinatal mental health, chronic pain, and sports and performance. Care is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and some clinicians have WPATH training for work with gender-diverse clients and their families. For children, the team can work with pediatricians and schools and can attend 504 and IEP meetings. Group therapy, offered through the Arlington Heights office, includes DBT, social skills, anxiety and art groups for elementary, middle school and high school students. The practice also offers parent coaching, college and career counseling, and life coaching, and selected clinicians can meet clients on college campuses. To start, complete the online Request an Appointment form, call or text 815.322.9699, or email the intake team, who will match you with a clinician. The practice is in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and Aetna for all clinicians and with United Behavioral Health for some, and provides superbills for out-of-network plans. Self-pay rates are posted on the website. Beyond therapy, the center runs workshops and continuing education for schools, employers, athletic teams and clinicians.
