Our Therapists
For a compassionate team in Park Ridge that specializes in reproductive mental health, look no further than Crescent Moon Therapy.
The primary goal of this unique form of counseling is to help you manage and overcome the psychological effects caused by your traumatic experiences. Our skilled therapist will establish a secure and supportive environment where you can comfortably share your story. By working together, you can openly discuss your emotions, address and work through your trauma, and resolve any other related issues. In essence, the primary objective of trauma therapy in Park Ridge is to promote healing from your past, enhance your mental wellbeing, and empower you with effective coping strategies for life beyond your sessions.
Crescent Moon’s primary focus is on women’s perinatal mental health. As a result, our therapy usually aims to support you so that you are ready for current or future motherhood. Generational trauma is an example of this, as working through the experiences you have had in the past can help prevent them from manifesting in the generation you want to bring into the world.
However, this is not the only kind of therapy we perform. Domestic violence trauma, interpersonal violence (IPV), and childhood trauma are also important experiences that we address. Our team will always strive to help you heal from your past abuse. Then, beyond that healing, we will work to empower you as a woman and mother.
Yes. With or without complications, we understand that delivery is a difficult process that can lead to trauma. Our team helps you work through that trauma and prepare for your next steps as a new mother.

Why We Chose The Crescent Moon
We frequently receive questions from clients regarding the symbolism of the moon in our work. For centuries, the moon has symbolized femininity and womanhood, with examples ranging from Greek goddesses like Selene to Chinese beliefs in the harmonious balance between the sun and moon, represented by yin and yang.
Across the globe, the constantly shifting lunar phases have been traditionally associated with the female form, both internally and externally. Similar to the way your body experiences monthly cycles, so does the moon. Furthermore, the waxing of the moon has been metaphorically associated with the growing of a mother’s womb during pregnancy.
Yet, the moon’s true value lies in its symbolic representation of the feminine energy. People often compare its impact on the tides to the global influence of women. As a symbol of feminine empowerment, intuition, and kindness, the moon in all its phases serves as a lasting reminder of the true capabilities of women.
