Part 4: Medication + Therapy. Better Together

Here is the thing. Medicine can steady the floor. Therapy helps you build the room. Many folks do best with both. We coordinate with your therapist so your plan works in real life.

If you are new to care, we can help you start with therapy, medication, or both. The path is your choice. We will walk it with you.

Appointments are usually available within 72 hours after you complete intake paperwork.

Start today. 888.870.1775 or ardentcenter.com.

Serving Illinois and surrounding regions. Most major insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare accepted. Telehealth available.

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic.

Sometimes it’s racing thoughts at night. Or the tightness in your chest when nothing seems “wrong.” Maybe it’s avoiding things you used to enjoy because it all feels too much.

At Ardent Counseling Center, we help children, teens, and adults understand what anxiety really is and how to manage it. Our therapists use practical, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help calm the body and quiet the mind.

You don’t have to live in constant worry. Relief starts with one conversation.
Appointments available within 72 hours, both in-person and by telehealth.

Because life feels different when anxiety isn’t in control. 💙

When “just stop thinking about it” doesn’t work, there’s a reason.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t about being “neat” or “particular.” It’s living with thoughts that won’t turn off and urges that feel impossible to ignore. It can be exhausting, for kids, teens, and adults alike.

At Ardent Counseling Center, we understand how intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors can take over daily life. Our therapists use evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) to help retrain the brain and reduce anxiety’s hold.

If you or someone you love feels stuck in that cycle, we can help you find balance again.
Appointments available within 72 hours, both in-person and by telehealth.

Part 2: What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first appointment is a conversation. We ask about symptoms, sleep, stress, and what has or has not helped before. We may review labs or past notes if you have them.

If medicine is a good fit, we explain options in plain language. You get a clear plan, a timeline, and what to watch for. Follow-ups are usually short and focused. You can bring questions. Please do.
Appointments are usually available within 72 hours after you complete intake paperwork.

Ready when you are. 888.870.1775 or ardentcenter.com.
Timely access. Licensed prescribers. Team-based care with your therapist if you have one.

When traditional antidepressants aren’t enough, there’s another option.

Spravato® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved treatment for adults with depression that hasn’t improved with other medications. It’s given as a nasal spray under medical supervision and works differently from standard antidepressants, targeting brain pathways involved in mood and connection.

When mornings turn into battles, it might be more than “just not wanting to go.”

Some kids refuse school because of deeper worries—anxiety, depression, bullying, or overwhelming stress. It’s not defiance. It’s distress. At Ardent Counseling Center, our therapists specialize in helping children and teens understand what’s driving those feelings and build healthy coping strategies that make returning to school feel possible again.

We partner closely with parents, schools, and pediatricians to create supportive, realistic plans that fit each child’s needs.

If your child struggles with school avoidance or anxiety, we can help.
Appointments available within 72 hours, both in-person and by telehealth.

Because every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and capable of showing up for their day. 💙

Part 3: Safety, Side Effects, and Checking In

You deserve to know what you are taking and why. We review common side effects, rare risks, and ways to reduce them. We use the lowest effective dose. We adjust only when it makes sense.
You know what? Most people feel better with a mix of small changes over time. Sleep, movement, and routine can boost the impact of medication. We will check in, track progress, and change course if needed.

Appointments are usually available within 72 hours after you complete intake paperwork.

Questions are welcome. Reach us at 888.870.1775 or ardentcenter.com.

Medication decisions are personal. Talk with your prescriber before starting or stopping any medication.

Kids deserve to feel like themselves again.

Depression can look different in children. Sometimes it shows up as irritability, loss of interest in friends, frequent stomachaches, or just not seeming “like themselves.” At Ardent Counseling Center, our therapists understand how hard it can be to watch your child struggle and not know what to do next.

We offer therapy designed specifically for children and adolescents dealing with depression and other emotional challenges. Our team provides a safe space for kids to share, learn coping skills, and rebuild confidence step by step.

If your child has been feeling down, withdrawn, or anxious, we are here to help—both in-person and through telehealth.
Call 888-870-1775 or visit ardentcenter.com to schedule an appointment within 72 hours.

Early support can make all the difference. 💙

Part 1: What “Medication Management” Means

Medication management is a guided process to help you feel better with the fewest side effects. A licensed prescriber reviews your history. We talk about your goals. We choose a plan together.
Some people stay on the same dose for a while. Others need small adjustments. The goal is steady progress that fits your life, not a quick fix.

Appointments are usually available within 72 hours after you complete intake paperwork.

Call 888.870.1775 to schedule, or visit ardentcenter.com.
Care for adults, teens, and children. In person and telehealth. Most insurance plans accepted.
