Rachel Amodu, NP — Psychiatrist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Rachel!

My main areas of focus include symptoms and medication management. I practice evidence-based, patient-centered care and always aim to provide the best care possible. I create a supportive and judgment-free space for patients.

My focus

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family, ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Sleep disorders, and Mood Disorders.

My approach

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you for treatment and decide the most appropriate ways to help you progress. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience, and I'll help you challenge those thoughts to improve your feelings.

My communication style

Initial appointment entails listening to your detailed history, talking about current stressors, and working on your goals of treatment. Our follow-up appointments will be aimed at reviewing progress and making needed adjustments until we find the best balance for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about improving access to mental health care for all. My goal is to eradicate the stigma and bias associated with mental health by rendering compassionate, holistic, and culturally competent care. This helps in living and maintaining an optimal quality of life.

My goals for you

My goal includes the provision of a supportive and healing environment where you can explore your challenges and work towards healthy mental and emotional well-being. Treatment plans are tailored to meet individual, unique needs and goals.
