I have a very wonderful therapist I found through AMK, but when my work insurance unexpectedly changed, they refused to work with me on any budget billing options, despite being a low income earner. I offered many different options of self pay, but AMK was unwilling to come up with any support and required me to pay almost $200 out of pocket per session for over a year. I was really disappointed to hear that AMK does not support the low income community in Chicago, and I hope they will do better next time.

AMK is an excellent choice for mental health care. I refer to this practice often because I trust the services provided. The owner is genuinely caring and wants what is best for her staff, clients, and community.
We are so grateful for your review! Trust is everything in our work, and knowing that you feel confident referring people to AMK means so much to our entire team. We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to continuing to provide the highest standard of care!
I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Resseka Uy professionally through client referrals and have appreciated her thoughtful, compassionate approach to care. She brings a strong evidence-based foundation to her work and is dedicated to helping clients navigate anxiety, mood concerns, life transitions, and family dynamics. I have valued her professionalism, clinical insight, and commitment to supporting clients. I would confidently recommend Ress to individuals seeking a skilled and caring therapist.
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! Ress is an incredibly skilled and compassionate therapist, and we’re so glad to hear about your positive experience collaborating with her. We truly appreciate your trust in referring clients to Ress and to AMK Counseling!
I am a provider in a nearby town and trust the services that AMK Counseling brings to the community. I do not hesitate to send referrals to AMK and strongly recommend them for therapy services for anyone in need.
Thank you for the kind review! As a practice, building strong, trustworthy relationships with local providers is so important to us. We’re truly honored by your confidence in AMK Counseling and look forward to continuing to collaborate and support our community together!
I had the privilege of working with Jiana in the past and I can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly supportive, dedicated and genuinely committed to her clients’ growth. Jiana has a way of creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood and encouraged. Her flexibility and willingness to meet you where you are made a huge difference in my experience. She consistently showed up with compassion and professionalism and her guidance helped me make meaningful progress on site for myself and students in need. If you’re looking for a clinician who truly cares and goes above and beyond, Jiana is someone you can trust and lean on!
Thank you for the kind words! We’re glad to hear your experience with our therapist Jiana was helpful. We think she's pretty great too :) We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
I cannot recommend Jiana as a social worker enough. She has the ability to ease any nervous new clients and makes them feel safe and heard. I’ve seen firsthand her knowledge of multiple treatment techniques. Jiana meets all clients where they are at and had the ability to make them feel understood. She would be a great therapist for anyone, but has a special ability to work with adolescents.
Thank you so much Maria for the kind words about Jiana! We agree that she is a great therapist!
Jennifer is an incredible counselor! She goes above and beyond to make sure all are taken care of. As a former co-worker, I have seen this work up close and personal. There is no one else I’d rather trust to get me through something than Jenn. She is a wonderful person who takes the time to listen, offer advice, and check in with you. I trust her immensely!
Thank you for the kind words! We’re glad to hear your experience with our therapist was helpful. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback- We also think Jenn is great :)
I highly recommend working with Resseka Uy. We worked together previously and she always has a knack for building great rapport with her clients to make them feel they are in a warm and comfortable space to further challenge themselves in their everyday life. Between using humor, compassion and staying up to date on modalities, she really shows great care towards her work and care with clients.
We’re so grateful for your review! Our therapists work hard to create a supportive environment, and we’re happy to know your experiences with Resseka were positive ones. She is a great therapist!
Ress is an amazing therapist! I worked with her previously at a different practice, and she was such a big support and kind friend. Any client is lucky to work with her! She provides a very real and blunt perspective with kindness and skill behind it.
Thank you Anna! We appreciate the review and endorsement of Ress :)
