Our Approach

How we work at Nurturing Relationships

Empathy

Before we challenge patterns or explore change, we first seek to understand what you’re experiencing in the context of your life.

We honor your values, culture, and background. We do not assume or judge anything about your circumstances. We offer compassion to help you feel seen, heard, and understood – especially in difficult moments.

We help you understand why you do what you do. We offer psychoeducation and insights that help you make sense of your behaviors and those of others.

Understanding why things happen helps us provide empathy for ourselves, navigate the moment, and live with intentionality.



Sometimes, even with all the hard work we’re doing, we still find ourselves stuck. Together, we’ll peek into corners of your life to uncover the source of what’s keeping you from your goals.

As we start to notice constraints, we’ll support you in finding ways to be seen and feel heard. And we’ll give you the resources and connections to make it through. Whether it’s referrals for medical or school support, yoga, meditation, nutrition, basic needs – or other avenues for your healing – we’ll tend to you as a whole person, within the systems that surround you.





We believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation. In a similar spirit, Nurturing Relationships invests in connections and referrals throughout the Evanston community to create a greater network of support for you, in your own neighborhood.

Some recent reflections from our clinicians

How do I help my child when they are worrying?

Worries don’t just live in the mind. They can show up in the body, too – especially for kids who may feel their anxiety before they can name it.

When should we go to couples therapy?

All relationships are impacted by the context in which we live. Nurturing Relationships will help you better understand yours through a systemic and contextual lens.

Understanding who you really are.

We’re all made up of many “parts,” – and understanding them can help us respond with more self-compassion, emotional regulation, and clarity in our relationships.
