As a physician, I'm careful about where I refer my patients. Over the years, I've had the…read moreopportunity to refer many individuals to Sara Banks at Ascend Therapy in Naperville, and the feedback has been consistently excellent. Patients frequently report feeling heard, respected, and meaningfully supported in their work with her. Just as important, I've seen tangible progress, whether in managing anxiety, navigating life transitions, or improving overall emotional well-being. It's clear that Sara brings both clinical skill and genuine compassion to her practice. I feel confident continuing to refer patients to her, knowing they are in capable and thoughtful hands.

Unfortunately, from the beginning I felt unheard and like I was the problem. As an adult going to…read moretherapy with my mother, nagla seemed to instantly and confidently choose my mother as the sane point of contact. Meaning instead of helping my mother and I bridge our gap, heal and grow; The full year became sessions focused on me and how awful I am. I had no power as the two discussed how I'll understand when I'm a "real" mom as nagla and my mother have adult children and I only have my toddler, so I wasnot seen as an equal. Sessions endured with no regard to areas that needed healing for my mother and I. I was given goals, tasks and consequences while my mother was never pressured to do any of the like. Nagla constantly forgot the very few names brought up in every meeting, a fixed weekly schedule that we brought up every time seemed to be a surprise to her each time. sadly she didn't seem to care about my concerns as I was not the one paying. I found group therapy that helped me feel the confidence to post this. I feel better after stopping seeing her. It's been about 4 months and I feel much happier and confident again. What hurt me the most was in the first meeting, I mentioned the father of my son and him being estranged. the publicity of motherhood unwed and the accusations that came with it. Her immediate response wasn't any kindness but she had the nerve to ask how i know the father of my son is the father of my son and if I was sure and how could I be sure. ​

I started seeing Amy at the suggestion of my psychiatrist in order to help with some sleeping…read moreissues through cognitive behavioral therapy. Honestly, I was extremely resistant - I didn't want to see a therapist, I didn't want to talk through issues, and I really didn't think CBT would help at all with my sleeping problems. I finally gave in, agreeing to "time box" the sessions to 10 weeks, just to give it a shot and see if it would help. After my first session with Amy, my wife and I both noticed improvements in my ability to fall asleep, my quality of sleep, and my overall mood and energy because of my sleep, within just a couple of days. Fast forward several months later, including multiple weeks of seeing Amy more than once a week. The 10 week "time box" is obviously well past, and I've begun to allow Amy and her expertise into more of my life and to help me deal with even more issues in my life, from being a better husband, father, employee, and just a better person in general. To be completely honest, I really wanted to not like seeing a therapist, and frankly, not like Amy. But now, I can't imagine my life without seeing Amy and having her help me through things, give me my homework, and help me to learn that I can work through mental hurdles with various strategies she's taught me. Amy has always been available - she's very prompt to return phone calls and even text messages when I have needed her, has been very flexible to work around my schedule, and genuinely cares about me and my family. If you're looking for a great therapist and someone who will care about you, get to know you, and take time for you, I highly recommend Amy. She's helped more than my sleep, she's changed my life and sticking with her past 10 weeks has been the best decision I've made in a long time.

What I am most impressed by is the wide range of tools I have seen her leverage over the past years during our sessions.

Most importantly she is not afraid to challenge my way of thinking and the assumptions that I make, which is very important for me as I value objectivity in my working relationship with my therapist.

I got no tools to cope with my issues, no homework, no actual 'therapy' at all! I spent several sessions listening to my therapist drone on and on about her issues! Every time I tried to bring the conversation back around to me, she would continue with her issues. And of course when I complained, I got zero response. I had to go in to the business to speak with a live person. I was told that I would get a reply, and of course 'crickets'! Please don't subject yourself or your loved ones to this sorry excuse of a business! Do better ABHS!
