Cicero Therapists specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Craig Mead

People typically come to therapy to improve themselves, their relationships, or both. I can help you work through and understand the mental and emotional root causes of your thoughts, feelings, fears, and anxieties. Sometimes, we must reexamine long-held beliefs to see if they still serve us. I can help you understand yourself and others better, deconstruct stressors, and build resilience in the face of difficulty. We'll harvest the past for wisdom but keep a moving forward future orientation.

Lee Rotem

I aim to help you to figure out the source of your anxiety, depression and recognize the barriers to the actions you wish to take in your life, and remove them. In my therapy space, you will find lightness and humor that can allow you to feel comfortable, and dig into everything that is weighing on you in life. I utilize a warm and collaborative therapy space, which is the best foundation for self-reflection and for finding courage to make changes, while feeling supported and seen.

Ellie Schwartzman

You want to connect, but too often your efforts end with feeling more alone. There are many miscommunications and hurt feelings. You’re trying to be authentic – but it feels like you’re not heard - not really seen. The last thing you want is to set yourself up to be hurt again. Your plans and interests are little comfort when you feel so isolated and disconnected. Know that this is not how it has to be. You can have the relationships and experiences you want – not settling for what is available.

As the expert of your own experience, you deserve to be listened to and understood. I intend to hold space for all aspects of your unique identities.
