Nina Dismukes, Therapist

Nina Dismukes has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling with attention issues, learning disabilities, substance use, self-esteem, expressing emotions, trauma, coping skills, and more. Nina believes that effective therapy is a soulful-healing process that takes time, patience, loyalty, self-love, and the openness to communicate. Nina feels that it is important to help empower patients by allowing them to express themselves in a way that makes them feel comfortable and safe. She works collaboratively with clients, encourages them to be themselves, and motivates them to help ensure their personal goals are met and that treatment has been successful. Nina Dismukes has received her Master’s Degree from Marquette University in Clinical Mental Health with a specialization working with children and adolescents. During her time at Marquette, she was the Diversity Leader for her class and felt strongly about diversity and inclusion in the world of mental health involving people of color and the stigma behind those factors. Nina has experience with DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), Narrative Therapy, Strength Based Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and more. Although Nina has used different approaches, she does not believe in one therapy working for one individual or a specific diagnosis. Nina strongly believes that therapy is art and there is beauty in all therapeutic approaches that all can be useful and beneficial depending on the individual. Nina is proud to work with a range of ages as well as a variety of reasons for treatment. Nina feels that therapy can be very cathartic and therapeutic for individuals and enjoys being a part of their journey.

Samantha Sadler, Therapist

Hi, my name is Samantha “Sam” Sadler. I’m a therapist in Northbrook, IL with a License in Social Work (LSW). I’m excited that you are considering scheduling an appointment for therapy, whether you have done therapy before or this is your first experience. I have been told by a client in the past that my presence in the office feels like they have “walked into a spa.” I would like to create a safe, calm, and “Zen-like” experience for you. It is hard to start this process, so I hope to make it as comfortable for you as I can! I have experience working with a variety of age ranges – I feel prepared to support you whether you are in the early stages of your life facing anxiety or depression, working through challenging adult decisions, and/or need support working through relationship struggles with your partner and/or family. If you are a kid looking for an easy-going and playful therapist, I think I could be a great fit for you as well! We can break out the Play-doh or you are welcome to challenge me in a game of Connect 4! I feel strongly about the benefits of using mindfulness tools to help ease anxiety and discomfort. I want to help you practice focusing on the present moment instead of worrying about the unknowns of the future. I value creating an inclusive and affirming environment where you can feel seen, respected, and empowered to work through life’s challenges. My work blends warmth and insight with clinical expertise, allowing me to meet you exactly where you are. Outside of my clinical work, I find balance and inspiration in nature, classical music, and literature. I enjoy walks in forest preserves and quiet moments with a good book. Let’s work together to add more joy and peace back into your life!

Erin Kelly, Therapist

Erin Kelly, LSW, I’m here to walk beside you as you navigate whatever life has thrown your way. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or unsure what’s next, my goal is to offer a welcoming, safe space where you can feel seen, understood, and ready to heal. I offer one-on-one sessions for all ages. Whether you're facing worry that won’t quit, sadness that drifts in and out, or the challenge of substance use, I’m here to help you find ways forward that feel authentic to you. My aim? To help you feel more in control—of your thoughts, your emotions, and your life. Many folks I work with are exploring how trauma, difficult memories, or behaviors that began early in life still show up today. I deeply care about supporting individuals dealing with those long-standing stresses, including families with children whose behaviors feel hard to understand—or adults who are still trying to make sense of early experiences. We’ll focus on what you need, whether that’s building connection, calming your mind, or finding new ways to cope. I draw on tools like mindfulness, parent-child connection, and practical strategies that empower—not overwhelm—because therapy should feel like something you’re actively building, not just talking about. I also have experience supporting people with developmental differences—like autism—as well as those navigating foster care, adoption, or the layers of trauma and systemic challenges that come with that. I understand how complex and brave that journey can be, and I bring patience, respect, and flexibility into our work together. If you’re on the path of recovery from alcohol or drug use, and are also facing emotional or mental hurdles, I’m committed to meeting you where you are—with warmth, steadiness, and real understanding. When we’re not in session, I’m a proud dog mom (trust me, pups are the best teachers of unconditional love), a craft lover, and someone who cherishes time with family and friends. I bring the same gentle care and attention to our work as I do to my own life. If that feels like someone you’d like on your journey, I’d love to meet you.
