Joliet, IL
About 15 minutes from our New Lenox office.
Joliet is one of the largest cities in Illinois, and its families face real pressures – school stress, major life transitions, and the everyday challenges of raising children in a busy, diverse community. Many parents in Joliet have noticed their children or teens struggling with worry, avoidance, or physical symptoms of anxiety and aren’t sure where to turn.
At Davis-Smith Mental Health, our therapists specialize in child and teen anxiety. We take the time to understand your family’s situation and use evidence-based approaches – including Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR – to help young people break free from anxious patterns and feel genuinely better.
Can’t always make the drive? We offer secure telehealth sessions for Joliet families throughout Illinois.
Frankfort, IL
About 10 minutes from our New Lenox office.
Frankfort is one of the closest communities to our practice, making it easy for families to access specialized anxiety therapy without a long commute. Frankfort’s strong schools and high expectations are a source of real pressure for many young people – particularly around academic performance, college preparation, and extracurricular achievement.
Our therapists work with children and teens who carry the weight of those expectations – kids who look fine on the outside but are struggling with perfectionism, panic before big events, or constant low-level worry. We help them build genuine confidence and practical coping skills they can use in real life.
Prefer the flexibility of online sessions? Telehealth appointments are available for Frankfort families.
Mokena, IL
About 10 minutes from our New Lenox office.
Mokena is just minutes from our practice and shares many of the same values as New Lenox – strong schools, close family communities, and high expectations for young people. That combination can be a source of real pressure for children and teens who are still figuring out who they are and where they fit.
At Davis-Smith Mental Health, we help Mokena families address anxiety before it grows into something bigger. Whether your child is avoiding school, withdrawing from friends, or lying awake at night with racing thoughts, early support with an anxiety specialist makes a lasting difference.
Telehealth sessions are also available for Mokena families who prefer to meet online.
Lockport, IL
About 20 minutes from our New Lenox office.
Lockport is a growing South Suburbs community with a strong sense of family and community pride. Many Lockport parents notice signs of anxiety in their children or teens – irritability, avoidance of activities they used to enjoy, physical complaints before school – but aren’t always sure whether what they’re seeing is ‘just a phase’ or something that needs support.
Our therapists are trained to identify and treat anxiety in children and young people at all levels of severity. We create personalised treatment plans that work in real life, not just in the therapy room, and we keep parents involved every step of the way.
For Lockport families who can’t always make the drive, flexible telehealth appointments are available throughout the week.
Tinley Park, IL
About 25 minutes from our New Lenox office.
Tinley Park is one of the busiest and most family-friendly suburbs in the South Suburbs, with a wide range of school environments and social pressures for young people. Anxiety in children and teens can look many different ways – defiance, stomach aches, school refusal, or simply going quiet and withdrawing from the things they used to enjoy.
Our therapists specialize in recognizing and treating anxiety in young people. We work with children and teens from Tinley Park who are dealing with school stress, social anxiety, performance pressure, and worry about the future. Our approach is practical, compassionate, and grounded in what actually helps young people feel better day to day.
Prefer not to make the drive every week? Telehealth therapy is available for Tinley Park families throughout the week.
Orland Park, IL
About 25 minutes from our New Lenox office.
Orland Park is a thriving suburb with high-achieving schools and competitive environments that can place real pressure on children and teens. Anxiety, perfectionism, and social stress are among the most common concerns we see from Orland Park families – and they’re very treatable with the right support.
Davis-Smith Mental Health welcomes families from Orland Park looking for specialized anxiety therapy. Our therapists understand the pressures that come with high-achieving environments, and we help young people build genuine confidence and resilience – not just the appearance of it. We use evidence-based approaches including CBT and EMDR to get real, lasting results.
Telehealth sessions are available for Orland Park families, making it easy to start therapy from home on a schedule that works for you.
