More about Dr. Kristina Pecora, PsyD
Dr. Pecora is a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois, working in private practice since 2008. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, she specializes in Health Psychology, and treats a wide range of adolescent and adult complaints and comorbidities, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, culture & diversity navigation, work-life balance, and life transitions. Kristina has most received specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-focused therapy, and enjoys incorporating mindfulness techniques and hypnosis with her clients to expand their experience of life.
Kristina firmly believes that therapy is a healthy support system for creating positive change in your life.
Her goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While people cannot change difficult situations or the past, Kristina works with you to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Through application of complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will work together to unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may hold you back from experiencing a more fulfilling, more meaningful life.
Kristina has published 12 articles in major research journals, and presented over 20 research projects on various works in health and behavior change. Her research interests include effectiveness of programs to promote healthy behavior change, and the personal experience of making meaningful changes. In addition to private practice, she works in research on mobile and web interventions as adjuncts to therapy at CBITS, Northwestern University.

She's very professional,and very knowledgeable in various areas!
May 13, 2016Derrick N.Verified patient
I saw Kristina on a weekly basis for about 3 months from December 2015 to February 2016.
I stopped seeing Kristina because she displayed a pattern of not following through with promises made during our sessions. I constantly was told e-mails and referrals following our sessions would be sent, and they never were. One week she would mention a new relaxation technique she was eager to try and then in following weeks fail to address it. As a patient I just want to feel somewhat of a priority, that the therapist puts some kind of thought/strategy together for our sessions. I did not feel that way with Kristina.

Dr. Pecora has keen insight and understanding while offering strategies for improvement. Her powers of observation uncover things that were unknown but revealed and her methods to improve have led to results.

I visited Kristina for about a year and this was my first trip to a Psych Dr. before. Every time I left one of our appointments, I felt so much better then I had before entering (even if I was not feeling bad to begin with). She is very attentive, kind, and always gives you something to work out in between visits which was very helpful during my time seeing her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has or has not been to a psychologist before.

Kristina Pecora is very calm and patient. She listened to what I had to say and didn't judge me. She offered good advice and was incredibly knowledgable. I have already recommended her to others!

The Doctor was very professional, welcoming, and did inform me beforehand that her suite had changed.
Literally the only criticism I have is that she was not on the downstairs directory, with the Lobby Staff. I only bring this up because the layout of building was confusing, and I'd hate to think that someone would miss their appointment due to not knowing where the Doctor was.
Again, I must reiterate, I would definitely refer this Doctor. I am excited about working with her!

I've only had one visit but I'll be going back. She's warm, offers up great questions and makes you really reflect. I'm happy to have found someone in the city.
