I used to be able to feel joy. What happened?
You go through the motions, but nothing feels the same. The laughter feels forced. The hobbies don’t spark anything. You’re not falling apart, but you’re not fully here either. You keep showing up for work, family, and friends, but inside you feel flat, numb, or quietly overwhelmed.
You miss the version of yourself that could feel lightness, hope, and connection.
At Access Counseling Services in Lincolnshire and Waukegan, IL, we help individuals and families struggling with anxiety, trauma, or depression find light in their lives.
Slow down. Feel more. Live fully.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, therapy can help. Many of our clients come in unsure if therapy will “work,” but they stay because they begin to feel better, more in control, and more connected. If you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, or relationship issues, or you’re simply ready for something to change, we’re here for you.
Can I use my insurance?
Yes. We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO. As a courtesy, we will electronically submit claims to your insurance after each session. You are responsible for the session fee until your deductible is met, and then for any co-pays until your out-of-pocket maximum is reached.
For all other insurance plans, we are considered an out-of-network provider. You are responsible for payment, but if your out-of-network deductible has been met, your plan may reimburse a portion of the cost.
Please note: We are not in network with Medicare, Medicaid, or any Affordable Care Act (ACA) plan, including those managed by BCBS.
Can I see my therapist online?
Absolutely. Many of our clients choose Telehealth for its convenience and flexibility. We use secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms, and EMDR, as well as CPT, can be effectively delivered via Telehealth.
How long will therapy last?
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and the complexity of your concerns. Some structured therapies, like CPT, last around 12 weeks, while others are more open-ended. Many clients begin to feel relief in just a few sessions with their therapist and continue until they meet their goals.
Do you work with veterans and trauma survivors?
Yes. We specialize in trauma-informed therapy, particularly for veterans and adults with PTSD. Our clinicians are trained in EMDR and CPT, which are evidence-based approaches proven to help reduce trauma-related symptoms and support long-term healing.
