IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES IN ILLINOIS

Where Expertise & Compassion Meet Care

Professional psychiatric support

At Lily Counseling, our psychiatric services are designed to help you feel balanced, focused, and well from the inside out. We know that managing mental health can be complex—and finding the right medication or treatment plan shouldn’t add to the stress.

Our licensed psychiatric providers specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, attention challenges, and other mental health concerns. We offer comprehensive evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and personalized treatment plans that address both emotional and physical well-being.

A Personalized Approach

Psychiatric care at Lily Counseling is never one-size-fits-all—it’s a collaborative partnership designed around you. Our providers take a personalized, integrative approach, blending traditional psychiatry with therapy, lifestyle, and, when appropriate, functional medicine support. Sessions are available in person or virtually, offering flexibility and continuity of care.

Who Psychiatric Care Helps

Medication can be a powerful tool to help restore balance, focus, or energy when things feel off track. It doesn’t have to be forever—it can simply provide the extra stability you need in this season of life. Your provider isn’t here to “throw pills” or offer quick fixes. They’re here to listen, understand your story, and explore whether medication may be a helpful part of your care.

If you’re medication-curious, that’s more than okay. Many clients come to us having never tried medication, or having tried it in the past and not liked the experience. Others simply want a second opinion on their current regimen. Whatever your starting point, your provider will meet you where you are, offering pressure-free, evidence-based options that align with your goals, preferences, and values. Our goal is to help you achieve stability, clarity, and lasting balance—so you can feel like yourself again.

        You may benefit from psychiatric services if you’re experiencing:

          • Anxiety or panic that interferes with daily life
          • OCD symptoms such as intrusive or obsessive thoughts, obsessions or compulsive behaviors
          • Depression or persistent low mood
          • Trauma-related concerns or PTSD, including intrusive thoughts, hyperarousal, or sleep disturbances such as nightmares
          • Body-focused-repetitive-behaviors (BFRBs e.g., skin-picking, hair-pulling, nail-biting)
          • Attention, focus, or executive functioning challenges
          • Sleep disturbances, such as nightmares or insomnia
          • Emotional dysregulation or difficulty coping with stress
          • Medication adjustments, second opinions, or management
          • A desire for coordinated care that supports therapy, health, and performance

        a partnership for progress

        At Lily Counseling, psychiatric care is more than medication management—it’s a collaborative relationship that supports your whole-person health.

        Here’s how we do it:

        • Comprehensive Evaluation: Understanding your full mental health history, symptoms, and goals.
        • Medication Management: Evidence-based treatment designed to restore balance and enhance well-being.
        • Collaboration with Therapy: Integrating psychiatric care and counseling for cohesive, whole-person treatment.
        • Integration with Functional Medicine: When appropriate, bridging the mind-body connection through root-cause exploration.
        • Ongoing Support: Regular follow-ups, medication adjustments, and continued guidance as your needs evolve.

        Integrative, Client-Centered Care

        Our psychiatry team works hand in hand with therapists and functional medicine providers to ensure care is coordinated, comprehensive, and connected. You don’t have to choose between therapy, medication, or holistic support—our integrative model allows all three to work together for your mental and physical well-being.

        This Is Care That Looks Deeper

        Psychiatric care at Lily Counseling is about more than symptom relief—it’s about helping you feel grounded, clear, and capable.

        This is whole-person care—looking deeper and empowering you to unlock greater health, wellness, and vitality.
