Chicago, IL · Mental Health
Dr. Antler is a disabled, chronically ill, and queer health and rehabilitation psychologist and clinician-scientist with lived and professional experience navigating complex medical challenges. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), ADHD, and other health conditions, Dr. Antler intimately understands the barriers faced by individuals with complex and rare medical conditions. Not being diagnosed with EDS until the age of 32, Dr. Antler, like many of her patients, endured years of medical neglect and gaslighting. This experience fuels their deep empathy and passion for helping others who face similar struggles and drove her to create Antler Clinic to serve as a place patients could receive the type of care she wished she had access to herself. As the founder of the Antler Clinic, Dr. Antler provides specialized care for those grappling with rare and complicated medical conditions (diagnosed or not), offering expertise in areas such as rehabilitation psychology, health psychology, chronic pain, depression, sleep and circadian rhythms, OCD, and more. At the heart of her practice is a commitment to creating a compassionate, inclusive space where patients are supported, informed, and empowered. Drawing from both her scientific and clinical backgrounds, Dr. Antler is a fierce advocate for her patients, helping them navigate their diagnoses and treatment plans while working to ensure they have access to the care they need. With experience working in primary care, spinal cord injury, and physical rehabilitation settings, as well as conducting sleep research for organizations like NASA, Dr. Antler brings a wealth of knowledge and diverse expertise to her practice. Dr. Antler is neurodivergent, queer, trauma-informed, and strongly committed to social justice. Due to her own disabilities, she works a limited schedule and operates out-of-network with all insurance providers. She offers remote services across 42 states under PSYPACT.

Effective Artistry (Serving Illinois and Wisconsin via Telehealth)
Northbrook, IL · Mental Health
Is changing your life in the midst of contending with chronic illness feeling impossible? Perhaps you haven’t been believed by doctors. Perhaps you are exploring the intersection of the mind and body, of neurodiversity and EDS, and you’re looking for a therapist who understands. I’m ready to do the hard work with you: to face your fears, build a life that is sustainable, improve your relationships, collaborate with medical doctors to improve your physical health, and bring back parts of yourself that you miss, your je ne sais quoi. I am here, as your grounded guide, to help navigate you through exciting, terrifying, and bold life changes, with the parallel tectonic global upheaval under our feet. I will be radically present with you in your deepest hopes and fears. You may feel lonely, misunderstood, and lost, even though people in your life perceive you to be “put together.” It can be deeply overwhelming and also courageous to build a life that you know, deep down, you deserve. One where you can unmask, tap into your creative potential, recover from burnout, and be liberated to share your unique voice with the world. Having me beside you will help you stay steady and purposeful through radical, never-ending change. I believe in the power of community, and will help you build an honest, loving, supportive community. I help clients build more sustainable, joyful lives. Clients are grateful to have done the work to build strong relationships, exciting careers, and thriving creative pursuits. I will help you feel energized as you get in alignment with your inner wisdom. The voice inside of you that has been trying to guide you, but you haven’t had the tenacity to follow. The wise part of you that will accompany you for the rest of your life. As a neurodivergent person who specializes in working with neurodivergent folks (AuDHD, ADHD, autism, misdiagnosed folks, late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed), I am here to help you process the intricacies of your experience. Some of the topics I cover with neurodiverse clients are helping to foster special interest joy, exploring unmasking, empathizing with the unique struggles that come from your neurodivergence, tailoring your daily life to your sensory needs, or exploring the biases and judgements from people, society, and the environment working against you. I approach my own healing journey as it intersects with being as a therapist as: if I am willing to do the work, gain the skills, and have the courage to show up authentically in the world for myself, I gain the knowledge (intellectual, intuitive, and embodied) to guide you to do the same. Through my diverse experience in the mental health field, I have learned what helps clients grow as well as what holds clients back. I now practice neurodiversity-affirming therapy, an approach that transcends pathologies. In my practice as a therapist, I do not consider the psychology of any of my clients as “disordered”, “sick”, or “broken.” I believe this is the most effective way to approach mental health in our modern world. I believe in the importance of developing our personal philosophy, or the beliefs that influence our behavior, emotions, and thoughts. In my personal and professional journey, I explore existential crises, relationships, communication, neurodiversity, queerness, politics, liberation, authenticity, consciousness, giftedness, creativity, trauma, spirituality, purpose, holistic wellness, and the mind-body connection. I am happy to explore any or all of these topics with you. I personally navigate and help clients find a path to sustainable physical and mental health. I have built a network of like-minded practitioners for the mind and body that do their best to listen to clients, believe clients, and seek creative solutions to address their struggles. I find joy and purpose in my job. I am passionate about integrating my path as an artist (former opera singer and photographer, ceramic artist, singer/songwriter, and writer) with my path as a therapist. I am proud to provide telehealth in the United States in both the state of Wisconsin and Illinois. I am excited to explore all the facets of you. Reach out. I am happy to help.

RecoverRx Physical Therapy
Oakbrook Terrace, IL · Physical Therapy
We help athletes and active adults recover from pain and injury, rebuild functional movement patterns, and redefine their future performance, allowing for a return to the sports and activities they love. A little more about Megan: Megan knew she wanted to be a physical therapist in 5th grade when she began learning about the importance of preventing injury from a physical therapist at her club gymnastics gym. She then went on to compete as a Division I Gymnast at Central Michigan University. During her first year as a DPT student at Northwestern University, she fell in love with the world of pelvic health. From that moment on, she immersed herself in the world of sex, poop, pee, pregnancy, menopause and many other pelvic conditions. She now practices with a belief that all of her patients are athletes, whether their goals involve lifting children or a heavy barbell. In addition to her pelvic specialty, Megan also enjoys treating patients with hypermobility disorders and common sequelae associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. When Dr. Megan isn’t treating patients, she’s working out at her CrossFit gym or trying out a new brewery, cuddling her cats, or playing a board game with her husband.

Relationship Solutions Center, P.C.
Schaumburg, IL · Other
Here at Relationships Solutions Center, we believe the foundation of your mental, emotional, psychological, and physical health is self-esteem. You might wonder, how we came to this conclusion and how we are defining and thinking about self-esteem? We believe self-esteem is defined as the level of value and worth you assign yourself. This goes hand-in-hand and has a reciprocal relationship with self-confidence – believing yourself to be competent and capable. We have found a helpful metaphor, is to visualize self-esteem as the foundation of a house. The rooms that are built upon a strong foundation are healthy, secure and stable. Those rooms include your physical health, your level of success at school and/or work, your level of success at managing your physical living space, daily tasks of life and your relationships with others. While there are environmental factors such as financial stressors, frequent moves and/or the quality of parental interactions and relationship that help determine the strength of your foundation; there might also be biological or medical issues – yours or others (e.g. temperament, parent’s mental health, ADHD) that impact the foundation and stability of your home. You might have noticed that we believe YOU are responsible for judging and determining your level of self-esteem. YOU have influence, power and control. This is an important concept, as we feel our job is to help you examine and understand how you see yourself in both your intra- and interpersonal relationships. We also know that self-esteem isn’t static or fixed. Our passion is to help you become aware of your ideal self-image, while exploring and creating change in values, beliefs and behaviors that align with and support your ideals. When your beliefs and feelings about yourself and others are in a positive, healthy place, you will likely feel free to accept challenges, seize opportunities and deal with difficult situations. You are also more likely to take responsibility when you make mistakes or if things don’t go well. Our clinicians realize there are many of you who did not develop a positive self-esteem, or you might have experienced situations that created a lot of self-doubt and loss of self-esteem and confidence. Metaphorically, this might mean your foundation was not strong or you did not receive necessary reinforcements before the rooms were built on top of it. It could also mean that some outside forces created cracks or damage. Sometimes the cracks in foundation or damaged rooms present as symptoms of depression, anxiety or even physical/medical symptoms. We will help you fill in those cracks and reinforce areas that need additional support. This could mean working with your current medical providers or referring you to appropriate clinicians.
