I’m a licensed psychologist and coach whose work sits at the intersection of healing, growth, and alignment. My practice centers on creating spaces where individuals and communities can reconnect with purpose, restore balance, and feel whole again. I specialize in helping people navigate burnout, heal from trauma, explore identity, and gain clarity for next steps. My approach combines culturally conscious care with evidence-based practices and includes a Roadmap Appointment—a comprehensive screener and collaborative discussion to determine the best level of care, whether therapy, coaching, or group work. As a Black woman, former professor, and first-generation doctoral graduate, I understand how layered and complex the journey toward healing and purpose can be. I bring my whole self into this work and believe everyone deserves spaces where their story, culture, and dreams are honored. Outside my practice, I love writing, community connections, and time in nature.

Dr. Stephen Bryant, PsyD, LCPC, offers an integrative and deeply personalized approach to mental health care, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. He works collaboratively with clients to address mood disorders, trauma, stress, addiction, personality disorders, neurodevelopmental conditions, and interpersonal difficulties. Dr. Bryant is known for creating a thoughtful and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered to make lasting change. With a strong emphasis on relational health and emotional resilience, he helps clients navigate complex life transitions and improve their sense of self and connection to others. Patients choose Dr. Bryant for his clinical depth, compassionate presence, and commitment to holistic, individualized care.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating generational trauma, people-pleasing tendencies, and the lasting impact of physical and sexual abuse and domestic violence. My approach combines trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and person-centered care to create a personalized path to healing. Generational trauma and people-pleasing often feel like invisible chains—deeply ingrained patterns passed down through families that can hold you back from living authentically. I work with teens and adults of all ages to identify and heal these wounds, empowering you to set boundaries, reclaim your voice, and redefine your self-worth. As a Hispanic therapist, I offer culturally sensitive support and provide services in English and Spanish, creating a safe and inclusive space for clients from all backgrounds. Together, we will explore the roots of your experiences, build resilience, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
Jane Ballis, LCPC, CADC, is a licensed clinical professional counselor at Suburban Behavioral Health Services, which has locations in Wheaton and Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. She appreciates working with people of varied ages and abilities as a therapist. Jane seeks to understand differences in various cultures, races, and religions and strives to be as knowledgeable as possible in treating people with diverse backgrounds.
Jane’s background includes many years of helping children, adolescents, and adults express themselves through various artistic mediums such as painting, drawing, photography, and multimedia. She completed her masters in clinical psychology at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. Jane learned behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy and trained and worked under a clinical psychologist’s supervision for many years, learning psychodynamic theory, play, and family therapy while specializing in children, adolescents, adults, and families at an APA-approved training site. Jane has practiced in child welfare and substance abuse settings. Jane has worked with at-risk men who were involved in prostitution as well as many issues such as LGBTQ, homelessness, medical, and employment challenges.
Jane has completed her EMDR Level 1 training and obtained specialized training with Ana Gomez, an author and specialist in EMDR and dissociative disorders with children. EMDR is used to treat many issues, from mild to very complex, such as PTSD, trauma, anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive and generalized anxiety disorder, and excessive grief. Children and adolescents have alleviated their symptoms using EMDR, including depression caused by disturbing life experiences. Studies have shown that many crime victims, police officers, firefighters, and field workers were no longer disturbed by the aftereffects of violent assaults and/or the stressful nature of their work. Victims of sexual assault, natural and manmade disasters, accidents, surgeries and burn victims, family, marital and sexual dysfunction, and involvement were also assisted. Clients at all stages of chemical dependency, sexual deviation/addiction, and pathological gamblers have also been treated successfully, along with people with dissociative disorders.
Many people with performance anxiety or deficits in school, business, performing arts, and sports have benefited from EMDR as a tool to help enhance performance. People with somatic problems/somatoform disorders, including migraines, chronic pain, phantom limb pain, chronic eczema, gastrointestinal problems, CFS, psychogenic seizures, eating disorders, and negative body image, have attained relief from suffering with the help of EMDR.
Adults and adolescents have been successfully treated for diagnosed depression. Clients with acute trauma and a wide variety of PTSD and trauma-based personality issues experience substantial benefits from EMDR. There are many applications for EMDR, which has been used by many major treatment facilities, such as the armed forces.
Jane also has completed levels one and two of the Gottman Institute in couples therapy. This is a research-based couples therapy that has three phases. For nearly four decades, Dr. Gottman has conducted research on all facets of relationships, including parenting issues. At the Institute, in collaboration with Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, he developed an approach that not only supports and repairs troubled marriages and committed relationships but strengthens happy ones. One goal of the research is to make the services accessible to the broadest reach of people across race, religion, class, culture, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
