Lombard, IL Center

I was at a low point in life and therapy really helped me to REMEMBER that I am THAT GIRL!

I have grown so much since starting therapy. It has helped me to navigate returning to college as an adult and given me an outlet for managing stress and healthy study habits.

When a student first comes to Dayrise, I create a custom TEAMS Care Plan that aligns their therapy with their academic needs, working hand-in-hand with their school. I've repeatedly seen how this approach quickly eases their stress, restores their balance, and helps them truly thrive.

Our daughter struggled with anxiety and depression due to Covid, isolation, social media, and other issues. After meeting with three different therapists, she still wasn't getting the help she needed. We found Dayrise, and immediately, our daughter felt heard and supported. She was given new tools and paths to navigate her anxiety in a positive way. Her therapist has also been a huge help for us, taking extra time to answer questions and giving us skills to support our daughter. We are forever grateful to Dayrise.

My journey started with frequent headaches, stomach aches, and not being able to get out of bed and have the energy to face the day. I was diagnosed with depression. I found Dayrise, and within weeks, my therapist helped me shift my thinking and encouraged me to get outside and exercise. In just a few weeks, I got the tools to handle my emotional ups and downs and the boost to hang out with friends again.

Recently I met with a young adult and their parents who were so impressed by our treatment model. They had been to another therapist before, but said our Dayrise TEAMS model is unlike anything they'd ever seen before. The integration of therapy with other aspects of their child’s life, like school support and parent education, has been invaluable, especially since their child recently received a new diagnosis and the family is now navigating a new path ... with our help.

The parents really appreciated the option to be connected and involved in their child's treatment so they can integrate the skills learned in therapy into their home life. It’s not just about therapy sessions; it’s about creating a cohesive "real life" approach for a lifetime.

My daughter was in 8th grade when she reached out to me about not feeling herself and was curious if she could perhaps see a therapist for help. In my opinion if a 13 year old is brave enough to reach out something definitely isn’t right and I as her mother need to take action. We were referred to Dayrise Wellness almost 3 years ago and haven’t turned back. She was diagnosed with depression and an eating disorder. Our therapist has been nothing but helpful in this journey. Not only to my daughter but also to me as a parent, experiencing something I was completely lost with. Dayrise is providing my daughter with the knowledge she needs to have a healthy positive lifestyle. We are extremely thankful for this.

My Dayrise Therapist is amazing and has helped me so much in the relatively short time I have been seeing her.

I have never felt so genuinely understood and supported by a therapist, they are truly the best.

Kailyn is great! She has helped me through some things and I always look forward to seeing her!!!

Jenni is the absolute best

Kelsey has been amazing and supportive. She has helped me through so much and I can't

imagine making it this far in my journey without her.

My therapist is amazing and makes me feel heard and validated!

Jenni is amazing. She is someone who really understands and is super validating and actually gives me skills to practice which I’ve never had a therapist do before!

Cyndi Marquez has been incredible she has been able to bounce ideas off of me and give me actual therapy that is helping while listening I also like the fact that she spoke to my psychiatrist and teamed up to come up with a plan to help tackle my anxiety and panic attacks. She has been overall the best therapist I have had and look forward to continue working with her through my hardships.

I'm happy to have found Jenni. Jenni has worked well to meet me in the middle in our discussions and learn my methods of communication and how my mind works. She also respects my independent knowledge and adds/corrects as needed, respectfully. She also challenges things appropriately and uses any push-back constructively to help me open up more and move forward in my journey.

I was lost before starting therapy... I stayed inside my house for 3 years straight. I didn’t have any friends or anyone to talk to... When I couldn’t continue isolating, I scheduled a therapy appointment. ...It was hard to open up at first, but my therapist made me feel seen, comfortable, and validated...Therapy helped me get my thoughts and feelings out into the world. I’ve been with my therapist for 2 and a half years. In that time, I’ve worked outside my house, traveled, socialized, made friends, and done the things I’ve always wanted to do. I’m continuing to understand myself and what I need mentally and emotionally... I trust myself to take control of my mental health.

I absolutely love Ray, she has helped me so much with along the way.

I appreciate how genuinely glad my provider is to see my success and progress.

I have never had a therapist that has gotten me to open up and just be honest about my trauma and everything I've been through. She's an amazing person ❤️

Lauren has been nothing but great since our first meeting!

Brooke is beyond amazing! I can tell she truly cares about me and what is going on in my life. Her approach and different ideas on how to process and integrate art therapy into my sessions are amazing.
