A space where your story matters.
Healing isn't linear.
It's not a fixed destination, it's a path - sometimes winding, sometimes quiet, but always worth the journey.

Questions?
Let's clear the air.
If you're wondering whether therapy is right for you, the answer is usually: Yes.
Contrary to prior belief, therapy isn't just for "serious problems". It's for anyone who wants support, clarity, or more compassionate view of moving through life. Whether you're navigating stress, identity, relationships, ADHD, life transitions, trauma, or simply trying to understand yourself just a little bit better... therapy offers a space to be, to breathe, and to be heard.
If you're asking this question, you're in the right place, and we're here to support you.
Insurance benefits typically save clients about an average of 78% on the out-of-pocket cost of therapy. With insurance coverage, that means therapy sessions will cost roughly $21 per session on average. It is important to remember that this will vary depending on your insurance plan. Check out our FAQ page to find out more about our service rates.
Finding the right therapist is a little bit like dating. It might require looking at a few (or a lot of) profiles, it might take some time, and you might even go on a few "dates". But just like finding the right partner, when you find the right therapist for you, you'll know that it's right.
So think about what feels most important to you: Are you looking for someone calm and grounding? Someone direct and solution-focused? Or perhaps someone who specializes in a specific area of mental health such as trauma, ADHD, couples, or kids?
At Emerald Path Therapy, each clinician brings their own unique therapeutic "flavor" in their theoretical orientation, therapeutic style, specialties & areas of expertise, and clinical strengths. We encourage you to read through our therapists' bios, notice who you naturally resonate with, and trust your instincts.
But don't worry! If you're still unsure and need more help, or if you simply prefer a more "professional recommendation", we've got you covered there too. Our intake team can help you find your best-fit and work with you to match you with the clinician who aligns best with your needs.If you prefer in person counseling sessions, we currently offer counseling services at 2 office locations in Illinois: Saint Charles (a western Chicagoland suburb that's nestled about an hour outside of downtown Chicago), and Arthur, IL (a small rural town about a 45 minute drive from Urbana-Champaign). We also offer online / virtual therapy sessions, with clinicians who are licensed to practice in several states including Illinois (IL), Indiana (IN), and Wisconsin (WI).
Scheduling an appointment with us is easy! Here are 2 ways you can get started today:
Book Online. If you already know what you're looking for and are ready to schedule an appointment, fill out online Contact Form, and someone from our team will assist you with setting up an appointment.
Book with an Intake Specialist. Need a little more help or guidance? If you have any other questions or concerns, or would just prefer to speak to a "real person", reach out to us via call, text message, or email, and someone from our intake team will be ready to help you with whatever your counseling needs may be.
Emerald Path providers are in network with most major insurance companies.
