Aaron Homan, LPC

With over 15 years in the field, I feel empowered, eager, and fortunate to be working with individuals that possess strengths and skills to move forward in their lives. I was born and raised in Kenosha and it is my duty is to work collaboratively with people to establish a peaceful, respectful and empathic relationship. Drawing on years of experience and familiarity with a number of therapeutic styles and interventions such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, holistic therapies and mindfulness and meditation, I continue to be amazed at a client’s ability to grow.

Every person has the power to change, regardless of personal, historical and relational challenges.

It's my intention to equip clients to develop their own self-awareness, compassion, clarity, internal sense of peace so they can continue to move forward and experience more meaningful lives. I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with my family, the Chicago Cubs, playing and listening to music, reading and practicing meditation. This directly informs my work and understanding of the human spirit.

I blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with other evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Exposure Response Prevention. If you have found yourself in a place where you want to work through trauma, grow your relationships, or have support while you navigate big changes in your life, therapy can be a game changer.

Kyle Butler, LPC

I primarily work with children and adolescents aged 7 years and older, young adults, and the LGBTQIA+ community. I specialize in working with Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Adjustment Disorder, ASD, ADHD, and Conduct Disorders. It is important that I provide a comfortable and safe space where anyone can be themself and grow while having fun doing so. I use Play Therapy with younger children and I use Motivational Interviewing, DBT, and Mindfulness with adolescents and adults.

I find it important to collaborate with children and adolescent's parents to foster a space for growth and development in the child's life and within the family. I have parents join in for family-style sessions as needed, teach collaborative skills to use at home, and assist with navigating the difficult transitions between different developmental stages of children. 

Each person experiences life in a different way, and it's my privilege to have the opportunity to learn what makes you, you.

Jeremy Schmidt, LPC

Many people seek therapy when they feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelming thoughts. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in genuine understanding. My goal is to create a comfortable, open space to discuss what you’re experiencing without judgment, helping you build awareness of habits, thoughts, and experiences that may no longer serve you. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship first, focusing on what makes you unique and using your experiences as a foundation for progress.

I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders and body-focused concerns, as well as those experiencing anxiety-related concerns, including phobias, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and a particular emphasis on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related issues. My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which help create meaningful behavioral change and support lasting emotional stability. I also integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients develop greater self-awareness, flexibility, and self-compassion.

In therapy, we focus not only on reducing symptoms but on building practical skills and resilience to maintain meaningful change. Together, we identify the strengths and values you already possess and use them as a foundation for growth that feels both manageable and sustainable. Whether that means facing your fears and worries, improving your relationship with food and your body, or processing difficult emotional experiences, my aim is to help you feel more capable and aligned with living the life you want

Lexy Ulrich, LPC

Sadness, stress, and shame tend to multiply in our hearts when we put off dealing with what’s causing them. This avoidance is something like a “miracle grow” for all the pain in our lives. And the only way to counteract it is through a moment of courage when you finally face what’s standing in your way.

I’m here so that you don’t have to take that first step alone. My therapeutic approach helps your heart and mind work together to approach the problems in your life with education, emotional insight, and a full repertoire of coping skills and self-care strategies.

I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy to help you access whatever you need or are missing the most in your life.

I specialize in presenting issues relating to anxiety, include Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety, General Anxiety and Phobias. I also work with depressive symptoms due to Grief, Loss, and Major Adjustment, as well as relationship distress between spouses or partners. I particularly love working with teens, for the above issues and for self-esteem, bullying, and school concerns. I have practiced therapy for over five years, seeing individuals, couples, teens, and young adults.

Zara Abu-Hamdan, LPC

There are a lot of challenges that cannot be handled by yourself and having an open and caring mind that listens to those issues can help in ways that are non-imaginable. Everyone’s challenges deserve a space to be heard no matter how big or small they may seem. My goal as a therapist is to have a strong working connection with my everyone that comes through my door. I strive to create a space that is judgement free and accepting for all.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have worked with trauma throughout my career. I have experience working with many different populations such as children, LGBTQIA+, POC, people from different multicultural backgrounds, and a wide assortment of different religions. I also have knowledge of working with people that are in federal custody and people that have felonies/criminal backgrounds. I also have a history working with people that are in active addiction to recovery, ranging from substance addictions to process addictions (i.e. gambling, shopping, etc.). All of my clients will be met with their own unique treatments whose goals will be catered to individually.
