✨ Meet Our New Therapist: Hannah Rolighed, E.d.M ✨

We’re so excited to welcome Hannah to our Kenilworth office—especially as a Winnetka native returning to support the community she knows and loves 💛

Hannah works with children, adolescents, college students, young adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, grief, and more. With a background as a school counselor working with Pre-K through 12th grade, she brings a deep understanding of how to support kids and teens while partnering closely with families.

Hannah’s path to becoming a therapist is both professional and deeply personal. After the loss of a parent in her early twenties, she experienced firsthand the impact of having a steady, supportive space to process grief—an experience that now shapes the care and presence she offers her clients.

Her approach is warm, honest, and client-centered. She creates a space where you can show up as you are—without pressure or judgment—while working together to understand patterns, build skills, and move forward in a way that feels authentic and doable.

As a lifelong Chicagoan, first-generation college student, and caregiver within a multigenerational household, Emily brings both professional expertise and lived understanding to her work—especially when it comes to navigating complex family roles, stress, and loss.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion (with a little humor, too). Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, Emily creates a space where you can explore what’s going on and take meaningful steps forward—at your own pace.

🌸 Spring Tryouts Are Here — Let’s Talk Mental Strength 🌸

Tryouts can bring excitement… and a LOT of pressure. As a former collegiate athlete and now a therapist, working with students at ETHS (Evanston Township High School )and Inspire, Taylor Gardner has seen how powerful mindset can be during this season.

Here are 3 tips to stay mentally strong during spring tryouts:

1️⃣ Take a deep breath.
It sounds simple, but it matters. When we slow down and take a full breath in, we give our brain the oxygen it needs to think clearly and stay grounded. Before drills, before your name is called — pause and breathe.

2️⃣ Enjoy the process.
It’s so easy to fixate on the outcome — Will I make it? What if I don’t?
Shift your focus to the effort you’re putting in. The growth. The reps. The small improvements. That’s where confidence is built.

3️⃣ Focus on what’s in your control.
I always say: control the controllables.
You can’t control every outcome, but you can control your attitude, your effort, and how you show up.

No matter what happens at tryouts, your worth is not defined by a roster. 💛

You’ve got this.

Taylor Gardner, Collegiate Athlete & Inspire Mental Health Professional, Clinical Intern is accepting new appointments in Evanston (or virtual).
