AMK Counseling has elevated its role in Chicago’s mental health landscape with a significant expansion at its Lincoln Park clinic. This move not only reinforces the organization’s reputation for clinical excellence but also marks a forward-thinking approach to modern care. This Chicago-based therapy group delivers focused care through EMDR therapy, ADHD and OCD treatment, and family-based support, making it a trusted destination for high-quality counseling.
Led by founder Abbie Kelley, MA, LCPC, and CEO Emily Kidd, Ed.S., LCPC, AMK Counseling is known for its client-centered approach and deep clinical experience. “Our Lincoln Park clinic allows us to bring trauma-informed, personalized care directly to where it’s needed,” said a company spokesperson. “This expansion is about meeting people where they are- with clinicians who specialize in what they need most, ensuring each client is guided by a dedicated therapist every step of the way.”
AMK Counseling expanded its services with evidence-based treatment such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, SPACE therapy, and executive functioning strategies. EMDR unlocks the emotional gridlock of trauma, helping clients reprocess distressing memories that interfere with daily life and restore a sense of control. Building on this foundation of emotional healing, SPACE empowers parents with a calm, structured approach to support children battling anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) without blame, shame, or coercion, and with the guidance of a trained counselor.
Executive functioning support, meanwhile, helps adolescents and young adults strengthen key mental tools. These include managing attention deficits, improving organization, and regulating emotions amid the demands of daily life.
Complementing these core treatments, the Lincoln Park clinic also offers specialized perinatal mental healthcare, attachment-focused therapy, and LGBTQIA+-affirming support. These techniques further affirm AMK’s mission to provide comprehensive, individualized treatments, including advanced EMDR therapy integration. These services address a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to life transitions. They ensure no one faces their challenges alone.
For many clients, feeling heard starts with being understood. So, by offering counseling and therapy in English, Spanish and Polish, AMK Counseling creates a space where healing and recovery speak their language.
Before healing can begin, the journey must be rooted in trust, and that starts with how each client is introduced to the process. Each individual, or family is welcomed with a personalized consultation call. This intentional first step ensures every client is thoughtfully matched with a licensed therapist who is aligned with their unique needs. From there, the first sessions become a space of clarity and collaboration, where therapeutic goals are shaped together to chart a path forward.
Beyond therapy sessions, AMK Counseling is actively engaged in community education and professional development. The practice offers virtual appointments, CE-accredited training for clinicians, and workshops to expand mental health literacy. These initiatives, delivered through Lincoln Park and Ravenswood locations, reflect AMK’s vision for holistic, community-rooted healing.
