Getting to know Alana Bak
If your search for peace has brought you this far, give yourself kudos for taking the first and most important step in your healing journey. My name is Alana, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for 13 years. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Lewis University and my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with a focus on Addiction Disorders Treatment. I have worked in community mental health centers, Partial Hospitalization Programs, nursing homes, and private practice settings, with much of my career dedicated to crisis work and supporting people in times of high need. I have experience working with all ages, various problems, and diagnoses, both individually and in groups. My past focuses include DCFS involvement, court systems, PTSD/trauma, suicidal ideation, Social Security/Medicaid systems, family conflict, substance abuse, Alzheimer's, severe mental illness, and bariatric surgery and treatment. Whether you're struggling with life stress, relationship problems, work-life balance, or past trauma, I am here to walk alongside you on your path to healing.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
