Online therapy in Illinois.
Thoughtful psychological care with Dr. Alexis M. Westbrook, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Chicago. Meet from a private space in Illinois, with evening appointments available.
Support for what you are carrying.
Work demands, relationships, caregiving, and major transitions can leave little room to attend to your own needs. Therapy offers time to understand what is happening and work toward changes that matter to you.
BrownSkinPsych welcomes adults of all backgrounds seeking support for depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and PTSD, burnout, relationship concerns, and adjustment to life changes. Your culture, identity, strengths, and lived experience are part of the conversation.
A collaborative approach.
We begin by discussing your concerns, relevant history, and goals. Dr. Westbrook integrates cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and trauma-focused approaches according to your needs.
Sessions may include identifying patterns, practicing coping strategies, strengthening emotional regulation, and exploring boundaries or relationships. Your treatment plan develops with you and is adjusted as your needs change.
Meet Dr. Westbrook or explore psychotherapy and evaluation services.
Evening appointments.
Online therapy is available to adults physically located in Illinois at the time of their appointments. Evening appointments are offered Monday through Thursday, subject to availability.
You will need a reliable internet connection and a private space where you can participate comfortably. We will discuss whether online care is appropriate for your needs before getting started.
In-person psychological assessments and evaluations may be arranged when clinically indicated. Ask about the referral question and available options.
Start with availability and fit.
The practice accepts Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum, as well as private payment. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific plan and are verified before scheduling.
Review insurance and rates, then contact the practice with your preferred appointment times and insurance plan, if applicable. An inquiry does not reserve an appointment.
