Support for your child to navigate life's difficulties
Psychological services available In-Person and Online
[separator type=”hb-fw-separator”][spacer height=”40px”]Hi, I'm Matthew Harings, Psy.D., MSCP.
Pronouns: He/him
Navigating the rigors of life causes distress and dissatisfaction for many youth. The pressures of academia, social interactions, and of the family are difficult to manage never mind to thrive in these same environments. My emphasis on empirically based treatments ensures you are getting the most up-to-date and research based interventions for yourself or your child. Empiricism also tells me a one-size-fits-all approach is in fact not for everyone. Receiving services with me means science and individual needs are woven together for effective results. Feel the difference this can have for yourself. Schedule an appointment today!
Hi, I’m Lindsay Mickelson, MS, LPC
Pronouns: She/her
I am a licensed professional counselor with many years of experience in and around mental health recovery. Prior to a sole focus on mental health, I was a vocational rehabilitation counselor working with individuals with disabilities. Specifically, navigating one’s strengths and finding accommodations in the employment field. This also encompasses instilling social and life skills as well as providing resources to those who are in need. I come with expertise in anxiety and stress management, grief and loss, self-esteem and personal growth, and well as conflict resolution. I am trained in motivational interviewing. I believe in a holistic approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered therapy. Together, we’ll explore your unique strengths and develop practical strategies for positive change. Outside the therapy room, I’m an avid hiker and a professional coffee drinker. My commitment to your well-being extends beyond our sessions—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My Purpose
My work and ambition are about evolving psychological practice.
Developmentally Minded
As a child and adolescent clinical psychologist my doctoral degree educated me on the needs of those navigating the developmental range of 0-25 years of age. From fostering supportive environments, parent training, and individual skills development I am suited to address the needs of individuals across the lifespan.
Prescribing Psychology
Continuing my training and education, I completed a Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology (MSCP) simultaneously with my doctoral degree. The dual degrees move me one step closer to becoming a child and adolescent prescribing psychologist. This revolutionary position would allow psychological and pharmacological treatments to be provided under a single treatment provider.

Professional Experiences
Experiences over my 5+ years of training and professional practice include affiliations with Northwestern Medicine, Aunt Martha’s Health and Wellness, Adler University, Purdue University: NW, and various successful private practices throughout Chicago. From integrating medical and psychological practice in medical settings to one-on-one therapy, my skill set is suited to the need.
