Therapy for Stress, Grief, and Life Transitions
Individual counseling for adults in Illinois
Hello! I’m Tommy Nimrod
Licensed Therapist
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) providing individual therapy to adults in Illinois. My work focuses on supporting people navigating grief, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions, with an emphasis on helping clients feel more grounded, resilient, and connected in their daily lives.
My clinical approach integrates psychotherapy with evidence-informed strategies aimed at supporting emotional regulation and stress response. When appropriate, this may include mindfulness-based or breath-focused techniques to support treatment goals.

My Approach
Life can feel heavy when your thoughts won’t slow down or when old coping habits leave you more empty than relieved. On the outside you may look fine, but inside it feels like too much to carry alone.
I offer a safe space where your emotions are respected and your story is honored. Together we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and build practical skills to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded in daily life.
You don’t need to have it all figured out, just a willingness to begin. I’ll meet you right where you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I have to do all three services to work with you?
No. Each service stands on its own. Some people come only for counseling, others for the sauna and cold plunge. You choose what fits your needs.
2. What insurance do you accept for counseling?
I currently accept BCBS PPO, Cigna, Aetna, United, and Medicare for counseling sessions. Wellness offerings such as contrast therapy are self-pay and not billed to insurance.
3. Is counseling virtual or in-person?
Counseling sessions are offered in-person:
Chicago, IL 60604
and virtually for your convenience. This makes it easier to attend regularly, no matter where you are in Illinois.
4. What can I expect at an Embodied Connections workshop?
A small-group (2–8) experience combining mindfulness, stress education, and contrast therapy (sauna + cold plunge) to help you reset, recharge, and reconnect.
5. What is your style as a therapist?
Clients describe me as relaxed, authentic, and easy to connect with. I focus on creating a safe and supportive space where you can feel understood and not judged. I’ll encourage insight and growth while honoring your pace.
