Getting to know Skylar Wittenberg
I primarily work with adolescents and young adults. I have specialized training in ADHD and a particular interest in family trauma and dynamics. I also love to support clients with skill building around symptoms of depression, anxiety, difficulty with transitions, school struggles, and relationship concerns (just to name a few!). I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work together with my clients to develop a strong therapeutic relationship where you will feel safe and supported, yet challenged to meet your therapy goals. I seek to balance skill building with processing your emotions and thoughts through talk therapy. I am an active, direct, and humorous therapist, so no need to worry about awkward silence!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I utilize a CBT framework to help make connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I will always individualize my approach to best meet your needs and treatment goals.

Long time client of Skylars and happy to review. She is an exceptional therapist who takes the time to get to know me as a person and patient. I appreciate her effort and application of anxiety/depression management techniques in conjunction to medication management at another provider. I am feeling and continue to feel improved with her and would highly recommend anyone considering her or Mentalla Health for therapy.

A+ therapists at Mentalla Health and big shout out to Jazz especially. My whole family is here. We love the focus to detail and specialization with ADHD issues.

Thank you to Giselle and the staff at Wellspire who made intake and setting up billing, etc a breeze. Happy to leave a review for Giselle. She has been critical to helping me work through residency stress and immigration/background trauma. I would not have been successful without her.

Jazz and Wellspire are a great resource for teletherapy. I've had nothing but great experiences with scheduling, timing, professionalism, and of course, the therapy itself is great! I moved to Illinois for work which is anxiety provoking in and of itself; I also was dealing with grief due to a death in the family. Jazz has helped me reframe my move to a positive. All the best.

Giselle has been nothing short of excellent and I am happy to provide reviews. It is difficult to find fluent therapists who speak Spanish, Giselle is a perfect match. She has helped me work with my anxiety, depression, and trauma over time and I like her insight and clarity plus getting to know me.

I have seen my therapist Skylar as part of an Illinois referral program for under served populations battling depression. each session with her has been a blessing. I've built skills to help each day like reminding myself of good things about myself.

I have struggles with managing ADHD my entire life, trying medication after medication. Skylar's therapy in tandem with the proper medication and dose have helped me be my best self.

I love Skylar, as a therapist myself I was worried I wouldn’t be able to be the client. She knows exactly how I need things to be delivered and is realistic with my expectations.
