I was hesitant at first to seek out therapy but after having therapy session at Aram Connection, I completely changed my mind. They have been so professional and helpful in challenging me throughout my process. Highly recommend this practice.

Jack G.

Parisa is amazing! She really challenges you on your ways of thinking, but in a warm and supportive way. She is never judgmental or alienating. She has helped me so much in the time I’ve been working with her, teaching me techniques and tools I can use to help myself while also showing up as a steady support to guide me. She’s the best!!

Isabel C.

In my 27 years of therapy and 7 hospitalizations, Parisa is best. Met many doctors, specialists, therapists, etc. Seen it all. No one was able to cultivate a mindset and environment that led me to make multiple major changes in my life like Parisa this past year coming out of my last hospitalization when I first started seeing her. No longer powerless or an incident waiting to happen. Parisa stands out to me with her engagement, education, and environment she provides. Provides best approach, demeanor, and most importantly to me, actual results.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What can we expect in couples therapy?

Sessions provide a safe, structured space for both partners to express their feelings, understand each other’s perspectives, and develop healthier communication patterns. Your therapist guides the conversation and teaches practical skills you can use at home.

How long does couples therapy typically take?

Most couples see meaningful progress within 12-20 sessions. Some issues resolve more quickly, while deeper patterns may take longer. Your therapist will discuss a timeline based on your specific goals during the initial assessment.

Do you offer telehealth couples therapy?

Yes, we offer both in-person sessions at our Bannockburn office and telehealth sessions for couples throughout Illinois. Many couples find virtual sessions convenient and just as effective.

What if my partner is reluctant to attend?

This is very common. We recommend starting with a free consultation call where we can address concerns. Many reluctant partners find that once they understand the process, they feel more comfortable. Individual sessions can also be a starting point.
