Biofeedback (Virtual Reality)

Cutting-Edge Virtual Reality (VR) offers real-time biofeedback with data driven measures that help put YOU in control of your body and emotions.

Beyond Talking…VR is a different way to transform your life. 

In a safe and controlled environment, you can choose from thousands of settings for your VR experience. You can meditate in Rome, practice yoga in Paris, walk along the beach, stand in front of the finish line, practice standing on stage, or revisit the game-time field or court — all designed to enhance your real life.

As you immerse yourself, our advanced biofeedback sensors provide real-time data on your biological and physiological responses. Your therapist will be tracking the data and walking alongside you the whole time, with real-time insights into how your body reacts to different situations (even ones that you might not be aware of!). Your therapist will help you try new techniques to calm your mind and body and regulate your emotions–transforming negative emotions into positive ones!

In your VR sessions, you’ll be able to enhance traditional therapeutic models for increased motivation, self reflection, and understanding yourself and those around you.

People are RAVING about this new biofeedback tool. Kids are able to better regulate their emotions at school and at home. Athletes are able to keep their minds calmer during game time, seeing better stats and scores–and having more fun in the game! People have been able to reduce their everyday anxiety and reduce the impacts of traumatic memories. Young and old, this tool works different for everyone, but one thing they have in common — it produces data and results.

Data Driven Results

Data driven treatment plans that track your progress and motivate active transformation by retraining your brain and heart connection!

Through this interactive process, you’ll gain real-time insight into how your body reacts to stressors and emotions.

How do I choose my Therapist?2024-01-24T17:27:07-06:00

You are welcome to search therapists by speciality type, location, service or insurance accepted by clicking here. 

We’re here to hold your hand! Choosing a therapist is a very personal experience. Scrolling through bios is helpful, but there’s a lot you can’t tell just by reading on the internet. Our Therapist Matchmakers are here to find the right fit with the right professional for your unique situation and personality style.

To talk to a LIVE human (and part of our Inspire intake team!) just call us at (847) 919-9096 ext. 1 or email hello@inspirecounselingcenter.com

We can’t wait to help you find the right match and get you started!! It’s our favorite part.

What will the first session be like?2023-10-25T02:13:43-05:00

The first session lasts approximately 60 minutes. You’ll have paperwork to complete virtually before your session. The therapist will spend time introducing themselves and getting to know you, your story and your dreams. At the end, you’ll have the option to schedule your next session based upon your availability and goals. There is no pressure to book another session. We’re here for you to come and go as you need.
FOR MINORS UNDER 18: If the session is for a child 12 years or younger, the first session is just with the therapist and parent (s) or guardian. If the client is 12-18, we ask that a parent (or guardian) attend the first session for the first 10-15 minutes. The parent will be able to meet the therapist and help make the child feel comfortable.
PLEASE NOTE: Please share any concerns about your child with the therapist or Intake Team prior to the session— not in front of your child in the session. This is to protect your child and foster a positive start to therapy!

What will all the other sessions be like?2023-10-25T02:14:39-05:00

The second session is our unique formula for goal setting. In this session, your therapist will help you connect and understand what your heart really wants in this life. The remainder of the sessions will then be working on skills to tackle any obstacles in the way of you living your best life. In order to see lasting results, a commitment to at least 8 weekly sessions is recommended. However, we are flexible and can work with you to accommodate your schedule and goals.

FOR MINORS UNDER 18: Parents will not be required to attend the sessions but must be available for the last 10 minutes of the session in case the therapist would like to touch base with you or for any scheduling changes.

How much does therapy cost?2023-10-25T02:16:18-05:00

🏕️ Is your child excited for camp—but also feeling nervous?

Whether it's day camp or overnight camp, it's completely normal for kids to experience a mix of excitement and anxiety as summer approaches. New environments, unfamiliar faces, and time away from home can bring up a lot of emotions.

In our latest blog, Inspire therapist Ava Schenk, MSW, LSW shares tips for helping children navigate pre-camp nerves. Drawing from both her clinical experience and her years as a camper and counselor at Camp Chippewa, Ava offers practical strategies to help kids feel more confident and prepared for their summer adventures.

Some of her top tips include:
✨ Normalizing camp jitters
✨ Understanding homesickness
✨ Practicing independence before camp starts
✨ Focusing on the fun experiences ahead

Most importantly, camp can be an incredible opportunity for children to build confidence, resilience, and independence—even when it feels a little scary at first.

📖 Read the full blog at the link in our bio.

☀️ Summer isn’t just for vacations and family activities — it can also be a meaningful time to reconnect with your partner. 💛

During the school year, many couples find themselves in survival mode: busy schedules, sports, homework, work stress, exhaustion, and very little time to truly connect. Summer often brings a little more flexibility, longer evenings, and opportunities to slow down together.

This season can be a wonderful time to prioritize:
✨ Date nights
✨ Intentional conversations
✨ Reconnection and intimacy
✨ Stress reduction
✨ Strengthening communication
✨ Investing in your relationship

And just like we invest in our physical health, careers, or our children’s activities, relationships deserve support and care too. Counseling can be a powerful way to strengthen your connection, improve communication, and work through patterns that may be creating distance or stress.

Not sure your partner is open to couples counseling? 

That’s more common than you think. The good news is: individual counseling is still a wonderful place to start.

When one person begins improving their communication, emotional awareness, coping skills, and relationship patterns, it often positively impacts the relationship as a whole. In many cases, one partner beginning therapy can even inspire the other partner to become more open to counseling too. 🌿

Healthy relationships are built intentionally — not perfectly.

At Inspire Counseling Center, we offer counseling and psychiatric medication services for individuals, couples, and families.

💛 This summer, invest in your peace, your growth, and your relationships too.

📍In-person & virtual appointments available.

☀️ Summer is a great time to invest in your child’s mental health. 💛

We often fill summers with camps, sports, beach days, vacations, tutoring, and activities to help our kids grow — but emotional growth matters too.

Playing outside, getting fresh air, slowing down, and spending time in nature can do wonders for a child or teen’s well-being. And summer can also be the perfect season to support their mental health in a deeper way through counseling. 🌿

With less school stress and more flexible schedules, therapy can help kids and teens:
✨ Build confidence
✨ Learn coping skills for anxiety and stress
✨ Improve emotional regulation
✨ Strengthen social skills
✨ Process friendships, family, or school challenges
✨ Prepare emotionally for the next school year

The tools they learn now won’t just help them this fall — they can support them for life.

Mental health is not just something to focus on during a crisis. It’s something we can nurture proactively, just like physical health, learning, and personal growth.

At Inspire Counseling Center, we offer counseling and psychiatric medication services for children, teens, and families.

🌊 This summer, make space for sunshine, rest, growth… and emotional wellness too.

📍In-person & virtual appointments available.

☀️ Summer camp and summer school can help kids grow… but so can counseling. 💛

Summer is often one of the BEST times to prioritize your child or teen’s mental health. With lighter schedules, less academic pressure, and more flexibility, kids and teens often have more emotional space to open up, build coping skills, and focus on their well-being.

Therapy can help children and teens:
✨ Manage anxiety and stress
✨ Build confidence and emotional resilience
✨ Improve social skills and friendships
✨ Process school or family challenges
✨ Strengthen coping skills before fall
✨ Improve mood, focus, and emotional regulation

Just like we invest in academics, sports, camps, and enrichment activities, mental health support is also an investment in your child’s future.

And the skills they learn in counseling now can help them feel more prepared and supported when the busy school year returns. 🍎

At Inspire Counseling Center, we offer counseling and psychiatric medication services for children, teens, and families. We have weekend (Saturday & Sunday) appointments as well as evening and weekday appointments to fit into your kids busy schedules! 

🌿 Summer can be a season of growth — emotionally, too.
📍In-person & virtual appointments available.
