Aria Counseling
We are a boutique practice whose clinicians bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and empathy to every interaction with our clients.
Maria Mastronardi launched Aria Counseling in 2022 with a goal of creating a practice that would attend to the specific mental health needs of her hometown, Chicago, by bringing in experienced clinicians who could personally relate to its distinctive neighborhoods, politics, and people.
While we focus on serving the Chicago metro area, our clinicians have lived throughout the state and are familiar with life across the variety of cities and towns outside of Chicago. We welcome clients from all parts of Illinois for tele-therapy through our HIPAA secure platform.
Our primary orientation is psychodynamic, which means that we encourage clients to identify, talk about, and resolve the root causes of their emotional suffering. We do this over time, by cultivating trusting relationships and by helping our clients better understand and befriend themselves. For many, this process can involve naming and working through life-altering traumas related to their experience of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, as well how they navigate every day political and cultural contexts. Over time, this process can offer healing, empowerment, and transformation.
While we focus on deep healing and psychological growth, every client is unique. We will meet you where you are and draw from our diverse set of tools to help you feel better, stronger, and more confident.
We also have specialized training in treating severe trauma; racial trauma and religious trauma; disability's psychological impact, and parental distress.
We meet adults, children, couples, and families in our downtown Chicago office as well as via teletherapy.
We are in-network providers for
1) ALL BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD PPO PLANS, including Blue Choice
2) CIGNA and Evernorth plans
3) Aetna PPO/POS plans
4) United Healthcare/Optum PPO plans
Please request an appointment with one of our providers only if you have active coverage with one of the above plans, or are prepared to pay your clinician's fee of $175.00 per session.
Thank you!

I went to Nadia for anxiety. We worked on Cognitive Behavioral Techniques. It was super useful. I’m glad I was able to learn the tools to my manage my anxiety
ASVerified patient
I truly adore Nadia and feel grateful that I found her! She brings a balanced, thoughtful and compassionate perspective to our sessions. She really understands my unique bicultural background which is not easy to find, and it has made such a difference in feeling supported. She has helped me gain more insights on my thought and behavior patterns, and offers practical tools that I can use outside of therapy.
Working with her has helped me better manage my family stress, work pressure and overall emotional regulation. I’ve grown so much working with her and highly recommend her!!

Therapy has made a big difference in my life — it helped me heal, feel calmer, and take better care of myself ??
Huge thanks to Dr. Nadia Halak for her kindness, care, and continuous support.

Nadia has been incredible in helping us grow as a couple. She creates a safe, supportive space where we both feel heard and understood. She is very kind, responsive, and truly available when we need support. Her guidance has strengthened our communication and connection. We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend her to any couple looking to grow together.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Hallak for almost 5 years. She is great for people who want to explore topics around race and identity. It was very important to me to find someone who could understand my experience as a first generation American. I’d highly recommend her.

SAVerified patient
Great therapist really helped would recommend!
MAVerified patient
She repeated a lot of the same questions in a round about way, causing confusion. She was not good at asking questions or explaining her thoughts. My daughter was left feeling uncomfortable and not knowing what to do next and just overall confused. I had to step in, most of the appointment, to break things down for my daughter on behalf of the therapist because she would just repeat the question instead explaining what she was asking or why. My daughter was overwhelmed at the end of the appointment, had to cut the appointment short because of the anxiety.
