Lauren Schifferdecker, LCPC

I'm the owner of a multi-location counseling practice (30+ therapists) and TEDx speaker, who loves people, and love inspiring others to live a great life.

You are the hero of your own story. Anyone who has done anything great in this life, has had some kind of support--whether it's a coach, mentor, guide, wise friend or partner. If you are looking for a safe, warm professional to bring out the best in yourself, your family or loved ones -- we're here with open arms.

At Inspire, we don't see ourselves as therapists helping clients, we see ourselves as people helping people. We are a down-to-earth, kind, and loving group of humans. Our therapists are the first to admit we are not perfect ourselves. But, the challenges we've faced in our personal lives are one of the best tools we have for offering compassion, hope and inspiration for you to overcome the challenges in your life. We also have dedicated ourselves to providing the newest clinical tools to fast-track your success.

We provide support for kids (7-10), Jr High, High School, College, Young Adults, Adults, Parents, Families, Couples, Sandwich Generations, Chronic Health issues, among others. We have 3 locations (Kenilworth, Lake Forest, Northbrook). We accept many insurances (BCBS, UnitedHealthCare, Aetna and Humana) and offer virtual or in-person sessions.

If you choose to work with a therapist at Inspire, we would be honored to have you as our guest. We're here, ready for you when you are.
