A year ago, I finally told my doctor that I'd been experiencing at least mild depression and anger…read moremanagement issues for years. My father and grandfather tended toward depression, and I assumed that my negative thoughts and angry reactions were just the way my mind worked. The doctor suggested that I might benefit from counselling, specifically Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Fortunately, Diane Doll at Hinsdale Professional Associates was available to help me. Working with Diane over the last year or so, I have come to understand that I had it backwards: my thoughts and reactions were not the product of an inborn and unchangeable negative mindset. Rather, my negative way of reacting to people and the world largely created the negative mindset. Under Diane's guidance, I'm making good progress in how I approach and react to people and events. I feel happier, less angry and more at ease with myself and others. Diane is obviously knowledgeable and experienced in the science of psychology, and was able to suggest great resources that I found helpful. Her approach is supportive, encouraging and compassionate. Our sessions are conversations in which she takes the role of a coach or really good friend who doesn't tell me what to do or think, but rather helps me to discover a path consistent with the person I want to be. If you're reading this, you may be looking for help to make changes in your life and hoping that change is possible. If you are, and if you get a chance to work with Diane, you should do it.

BE VERY WARY if you are a high-conflict couple; in my experience (60 sessions!) with the head…read morepsychologist of the Hinsdale clinic, there was a lack of assessment and understanding of covert emotional abuse and a lack of holding accountable the power and control dynamic at play...which would have been the one intervention that could have saved my marriage. Unfortunately, an "everything is 50% your fault" mentality is very strong and the Christian bias of valuing marriage over an individual's wellbeing is likely at play. I eventually quit therapy and quit my marriage and am doing much better, though the grief of the trauma from my marriage therapy is still with me. I recommend Relational Life Therapy - they will take sides and defend victims. My individual therapist is also here- and she is wonderful. IFS and EMDR has really provided breakthrough and emotional freedom from deep-seated early childhood traumas.

I have been a patient at Stillpoint for well over 7 years. I've recommended them to many friends…read moreand family members throughout the years. Never had any issues. I received a voice message from Kim @ Stillpoint in June 2020 regarding 2 office visits in 2019 that were never paid by my insurance company. I was told that the insurance company needed to verify some information. I called my insurance company and was told that I needed to verify if I had other medical insurance. I told them that I didn't and gave them the dates Stillpoint said they weren't paid. I was advised by the insurance company that they would process the visits and send payment to Stillpoint. I called Kim back and left a voice message advising what I was told by the insurance company. I asked her to call me back if she needed any additional information. Fast forward to August 2020. I received a letter from my doctor stating he would have to drop me as a patient due to non payment. Now I didn't hear anything about these missing payments until I received the voice message from Kim on June 2020. I'm under the impression that I resolved the issue because I did not receive a callback or mailings regarding it. What it comes down to is that Stillpoint had contacted me, a loyal 7 plus years patient, once in June 2020 regarding payments not received for 2 dates in 2019. I did exactly what they asked and rectified the issue with my insurance company and left a voice message letting Kim know it had been resolved. Instead of contacting me if there was still an issue, they decide to drop me. This type of behavior I can do without. Not to mention, they're dealing with people who have mental health issues, who are trying to make it thru a pandemic which is causing extreme anxiety and depression and now I need to find another psychiatrist to manage my medications. I would not recommend Stillpoint to my worse enemy.

Stillpoint Mental Health has been a tremendous asset to us during our daughter's difficult mental…read morehealth journey. Specifically, Dr. Vermani is easy to talk to and listens to our concerns. When in crisis, he is always available to check in with us and/or schedule an appointment. I appreciate his honesty, compassion, and communication. He always calls back, responds to our concerns, and has our best interest at heart. I have had nothing but good experiences with the staff, despite less than stellar insurance that caused all of us misery. I would highly recommend this practice.

I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking to give therapy a chance.

They only communicate vial email, and they don't have enough staff to handle patients. They brag as if being this small is a good thing.. in reality, it caused much confusion for my family and the school district that helped set up our eval. Find another provider for this service. During the last month and a half, their communication has been spotty at best. Then they cancel because of this. She doesn't care about patients. They canceled because they cannot handle any criticism and left us a month and a half behind when it comes to getting help with no concern for my child.

She held confidences over a period of more than 4 years, patiently helped me identify issues I was having that I was unprepared to deal with initially, but came to understand with time, and continues to help me become a better person for myself and for others. Because of my experiences with her practice, I cannot help but think the negative reviews listed either never actually had any session with her, or were fabricating their issues due to not being able to con her into seeing things their way. That can be very aggravating to people who are used to manipulating others easily. I highly recommend Paula and her counsel to anyone looking for help and a patient, but steady prodding to be a better human being.

It is a painless, and incredibly effective tool that brings energy to those areas of your brain that need more energy, without nasty side effects.

And, if you're going to treat your depression with TMS, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better, more professional, kind and compassionate provider than the team at Mindful TMS. At the heart of the team is TMS technician, Ann Marie. She is incredible!
