Burnout isn’t just mental, it shows up physically too.

Chronic tension, fatigue, headaches, trouble sleeping… your body keeps score. And sometimes, supporting your mental health also means taking care of your physical health in a more intentional way.

That’s why we love highlighting local resources like Absolute Integrated Health.

Their approach focuses on treating the root of what’s going on, offering a wide range of services from chiropractic care and IV therapy to hormone support and more, all designed to help you feel better as a whole.

Having a team that looks at the full picture, mind and body, can make a real difference in how you heal and move forward.

If you’ve been feeling run down or out of sync, this could be a supportive place to start alongside your mental health care 🤍

If you’ve been considering therapy, working with a Counseling Associate is a great place to start 🤍

At Counseling Works, our Counseling Associates are master’s-level clinicians-in-training who bring up-to-date education, strong supervision, and a genuine passion for helping clients grow.

With smaller caseloads, they’re able to offer personalized, thoughtful care - along with flexible, reduced-rate options for those who need it.

✨ Meet two of our Counseling Associates:
Abigail Wolfe (Naperville) supports clients with anxiety, depression, and trauma, using a warm, collaborative approach grounded in CBT, DBT, and mindfulness.

Tammy Thompson (Naperville & Shorewood) works with anxiety, divorce, and relationship challenges—helping clients find calm, rebuild confidence, and create healthier patterns.

If you’re ready to take the next step, we’re here to help. Reach out to schedule with Abigail, Tammy, or another member of our team.

The finish line is finally in sight, but we know the final stretch can feel like the longest. Between planning for Spring Break, keeping your GPA up, and those "what am I doing this summer?" nerves, it’s easy to feel burnt out.

If your brain feels like a browser with too many tabs open, let us help you close a few. Our daytime sessions fit perfectly into your spring schedule—no pressure, just a safe space to vent so you can finish the school year strong and balanced.

We're here for you 🫂🤍. https://www.counselingworks.com/services/individual-therapy/college-students-twenty-somethings/

You were the one your colleagues came to before the meeting officially started. You gave feedback that actually landed. You noticed when someone on the team was struggling, and you did something about it. If mentorship has always felt less like a task and more like just... who you are, we’d love to meet you.

We’re hiring a Clinical Supervisor at Counseling Works. A fully licensed clinician (LCPC, LCSW, LMFT) who’s ready to lead, mentor, and help shape the next generation of therapists.
