Find Hope and Healing

Are you or is someone you know feeling stretched by life, relationships or stress?

Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you’re struggling in relationships, facing anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, or navigating a major life transition. You don’t have to go through it alone. At Outreach’s counseling centers, we provide a safe, welcoming space where you can find healing, clarity, and renewed hope.

For over 50 years, our professional therapists have walked alongside individuals and families across Chicagoland, helping them overcome challenges and build resilience. We offer collaborative, strengths-based counseling that honors your unique experiences and values. For those who seek it, our therapists can thoughtfully integrate faith into the counseling process, creating space for spiritual beliefs to support healing and growth.

We also recognize that practical challenges can sometimes stand in the way of prioritizing counseling. That’s why we are committed to supporting the whole person. If additional assistance is needed, we can readily connect you to case management services, ensuring you have the resources to move forward with confidence and support.

Psychological Testing & Assessment

Understanding the root of challenges is the first step toward meaningful growth. Our psychological testing services provide in-depth evaluations to uncover learning difficulties, attention challenges, social and emotional concerns, and neurodevelopmental differences. These assessments offer the clarity needed to move forward with confidence and the right support.

We provide comprehensive evaluations for individuals of all ages, including:

• Attention & Executive Functioning Testing – Assess ADHD and related challenges to develop effective support strategies.
• Autism Evaluations – Conduct thorough assessments to determine an autism diagnosis and provide tailored recommendations for support and intervention.
• Learning & Academic Assessments – Diagnose learning disabilities, pinpoint cognitive strengths, and provide guidance for educational success.
• Emotional & Personality Assessments – Gain deeper insight into emotional well-being, mental health concerns, mood disorders, and the impact of trauma.
• Pre-Field Assessments – Conduct a series of assessments to evaluate the preparedness of aid and ministry workers.

At the conclusion of the assessment process, individuals and families will participate in a feedback session and receive a comprehensive report. During this session, the psychologist will thoroughly review the results, provide clear insights, and offer personalized recommendations. If needed, we’ll connect you with additional resources, such as counseling, occupational therapy, academic support, and other services tailored to your needs.
