✨ WELCOME TO INSPIRE, SAMARA! ✨

We’re so excited to welcome Samara Whitney, MA, ALMFT to the Inspire team in Northbrook! 💛

A Glenview mom and Marriage & Family Therapist, Samara brings a warm, thoughtful, and down-to-earth approach to therapy — along with a wonderfully unique background spanning the arts, education, child advocacy law, and entertainment law.

Samara works with children, teens, adults, couples, parents, and families, with special interests in:

🌿 Anxiety & Depression
🌿 Emotional Regulation
🌿 Pregnancy, Postpartum & Motherhood
🌿 Parenting Stress & Family Relationships
🌿 Couples & Relationship Stress
🌿 Grief & Loss
🌿 Trauma & Life Transitions
🌿 Women’s Issues
🌿 Faith-Based Counseling

As a wife and mother herself, Samara is especially passionate about supporting moms and parents through the beautiful, complicated, and sometimes overwhelming seasons of growing and raising a family.

She also loves working with couples to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, deepen emotional connection, and feel more understood by one another.

And for our younger clients, Samara brings years of experience with children through her background as a theater teacher and in child advocacy law. She understands how powerful it can be for kids and teens to have a safe adult in their corner. 💛

Samara believes that meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported — and that healthy relationships are built intentionally, not perfectly.

✨ Children • Teens • Adults • Couples • Parents • Families

We’re so happy to have you at Inspire, Samara! 💛

Does anyone else feel like back-to-school season goes from 0 to 100 overnight? 😅🎒

One minute it’s summer, and the next you’re managing earlier bedtimes, morning routines, homework, practices, carpools, lunches, school events—and approximately 47 different sign-up requests.

And while you’re trying to hold all of that together, you may also be helping a child who is nervous about a new teacher, friendships, academics, sports, or simply going back to school.

Back-to-school anxiety isn’t just for kids. Parents feel the transition, too.

So here’s your reminder as we head into another school year:

💛 You don’t have to volunteer for everything.
💛 Your child doesn’t have to sign up for everything.
💛 Your new routine doesn’t have to be perfect on Day 1.
💛 Your child’s anxiety doesn’t always need to be “fixed.”
💛 And taking care of your own mental health matters, too.

Give your family permission to ease into the school year rather than racing into it.

And before adding one more thing to the calendar, ask yourself:

Does our family need more right now—or could we use a little less?

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can add to the calendar is nothing at all. 💛

☀️ Don't Let August Steal Your July 🌿

Fall is just around the corner, but it's still July!! Have you noticed how quickly our minds jump ahead?

Even though it's still July, many of us are already thinking about school schedules, sports practices, homework, lunch packing, and everything the fall season brings.

Planning ahead is important—but don't let tomorrow's worries steal today's joy.

Summer is made up of ordinary moments that often become our favorite memories:
🍦 Ice cream after dinner
🚲 Family bike rides
🌅 Late sunsets
💦 Splashing in the pool
😂 Laughing with friends
📖 A quiet afternoon with nowhere to be

If you find your mind drifting toward your to-do list instead of the moment you're in, try one of these grounding techniques:

🌿 Take 3 slow, deep breaths.
👀 Notice 5 things you can see, 4 you can feel, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
📱 Put your phone away for a few minutes.
☀️ Focus on one small detail—the warmth of the sun, the sound of laughter, or the breeze on your skin.
💛 Ask yourself: "What's one thing I don't want to miss about this moment?"

The best way to prepare for a busy season isn't by rushing into it—it's by fully enjoying the season you're in.

Here's your reminder: August will come soon enough. Today is still July. ❤️

✨ Meet Shannon Sabol, MA, LPC (Pending)! ✨

We're thrilled to welcome Shannon Sabol to the Inspire Counseling Center team! Shannon is now accepting new clients in our Evanston office and is passionate about helping adolescents, young adults, adults, and parents navigate life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and collaboration.

💙 Shannon works with:
🌟 Adolescents (10–18)
🎓 College students & young adults
🌿 Adults
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents

She specializes in:
• Anxiety & panic attacks
• ADHD & autism
• Neurodivergence
• Trauma & PTSD
• Depression
• Self-esteem & confidence
• Emotional regulation
• LGBTQIA+ affirming care
• Grief & life transitions
• Relationship stress
• Executive functioning & school/IEP support

Before joining Inspire, Shannon spent several years providing neuropsychological assessments and working as a child and adolescent therapist, giving her extensive experience supporting individuals with ADHD, autism, learning differences, and other developmental, cognitive, and mental health concerns.

Shannon believes therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centered, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to meet each client's unique needs and goals.

As someone whose own experience in therapy helped her heal from anxiety and trauma, Shannon understands how powerful it can be to have a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. She is especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and those healing from trauma, creating an environment where clients can show up authentically and feel empowered to grow.

✨ When she's not meeting with clients, you'll likely find Shannon traveling, taking long walks, reading, playing video games, creating arts and crafts, or spending time with her family, friends, partner, and beloved cat.
