Lake County Therapy | TherapaJi - Amar Banga Therapy

Therapy Services for Lake County, Illinois

Lake County stretches from affluent North Shore suburbs to diverse communities along the lakefront. No matter where you live in the county—from Waukegan to Libertyville to Vernon Hills—you deserve mental health care that respects your unique experiences and background.

TherapaJi offers therapy services for Lake County residents through virtual sessions (available anywhere in Illinois) and in-person sessions at our Algonquin office.

Understanding Lake County’s Needs

Lake County is remarkably diverse, home to people from countless cultural backgrounds, income levels, and life circumstances. This diversity is beautiful—but it can also mean feeling isolated when your experiences don’t fit the mainstream narrative.

I specialize in working with clients navigating:

• Bicultural identity and the pressure to code-switch between communities
• Family expectations that conflict with personal goals
• Professional stress from demanding careers
• Immigrant experiences and acculturation challenges
• General anxiety and depression that affects daily life
