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. Learn how to regulate your responses real-time in virtual reality, in a safe environment with your therapist helping you navigate. Transform negative emotions into positive 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

Ever wish you could hit “reset” before the day is over?

Consider booking a "lunch date" with your therapist! 

✨ Lunchtime or daytime therapy appointments can make it easier to care for your mental health in real time — not just after the day has already taken everything out of you.

🕛 Lunchtime and daytime therapy sessions can help you:
🌿 Take a pause in the middle of the day
🌿Process stress while it’s happening
🌿Head back to work feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded
🌿Talk through stress as it comes up
🌿Avoid carrying emotional weight all day
🌿Use your lunch break for actual self-care
🌿Protect your evenings for rest, family, or fun

Therapy doesn’t have to live at the end of your day. Sometimes, the most powerful reset happens right in the middle.

In-Person and Virtual sessions available! Book your "lunch date" now 😉

🌿 Living With Chronic Illness Is More Than Physical 🌿

Chronic health conditions don’t just affect your body.
They touch your emotions, identity, relationships, and sense of safety—especially during the winter months.

You might be carrying:
• Grief for the life you imagined
• Anxiety about flares, illness, or uncertainty
• Guilt for needing rest or accommodations
• Frustration when others don’t understand
• Exhaustion from simply trying to keep going

Working with a therapist can help you:
🌿 Process the grief that often goes unspoken
🌿 Separate self-worth from productivity
🌿 Cope with anxiety, depression, and medical trauma
🌿 Build tools for pain, fatigue, and unpredictability
🌿 Reconnect with who you are beyond your diagnosis

Therapy isn’t about “giving up.”
It’s about receiving support in a reality that already asks a lot of you.

✨ We recently shared a blog with gentle tips for navigating chronic illness—especially during cold and flu season.

💛Sneaky Signs of ADHD You Might Be Overlooking 💛

ADHD doesn’t always look like hyperactivity or being “bad at paying attention.”
For many people—especially teens and adults—it shows up in quieter, more confusing ways.

You might be missing ADHD if you experience:
🌿 Chronic overwhelm from “simple” tasks
🌿 Difficulty starting things—even when they matter to you
🌿 Hyperfocus on some things, but avoidance of others
🌿 Emotional intensity or quick frustration
🌿 Time blindness (everything feels now or not now)
🌿 Forgetting appointments, texts, or deadlines—despite trying hard
🌿 Feeling exhausted from keeping it all together
🌿 Relying on pressure, urgency, or anxiety to get things done
🌿 A constant sense of “I should be able to handle this”

ADHD isn’t a lack of effort, intelligence, or motivation.
It’s a difference in how the brain manages attention, emotions, and executive functioning.

✨ The good news? With the right support, ADHD becomes more manageable—and often empowering.

At Inspire Counseling Center, we offer support for ADHD across the lifespan, using evidence-based approaches that help with:
✔️ Executive functioning & organization
✔️ Emotional regulation
✔️ Self-compassion & self-esteem
✔️ Practical, real-life strategies that actually work

💛 If this resonates, you’re not alone—and help is available.
📲 call or TEXT (847) 919-9096 to schedule
