Therapy for Anxiety in Chicago, IL
Julia Tehovnik| Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor | Registered Yoga Teacher | 8+ years clinical experience
Creating balance & regulation for the exhausted go-getter who wants to slow down without stopping.
I'm Julia, I specialize in therapy for anxiety and burnout recovery. I feel called to work with people with busy lifestyles who can’t seem to make time to take care of themselves - the ones who do the most, but silently struggle with chronic stress, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and burnout.
From Competitive Performer to Holistic Therapist
As a former NCAA collegiate athlete and competitive performer, I understand how ambition and drive can transform into a go-go-go lifestyle without reprieve.
I know what it's like to build your identity around achievement, to feel the constant weight of expectations, and to struggle when your self-worth becomes tied to performance.
You don’t need to earn rest. There’s a better, more sustainable way to thrive in your industry.
Understanding High-Pressure Environments
My Master's degree in Sport and Health Psychology wasn't just an academic interest — it was personal.
I know what it’s like to exist in high-pressure environments. The demand never seems to stop, your best is never quite good enough, and slowing down means getting left behind.
I work with performers, artists, athletes, and other ambitious professionals who are exhausted by the same performance-based standards and hustle culture that once defined me.
Clinical Approaches with Proven Effectiveness
I’ve been in private practice for 8 years. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, IFS, and yoga-informed strategies to help you regulate your nervous system, build genuine self-esteem, and create a values-aligned life that feels fulfilling beyond your accomplishments.
What I specialize in:
Finding balance in a busy lifestyle
Quieting imposter syndrome and relieving the burden of perfectionism
Healing burnout and managing chronic stress
Addressing anxiety masked by accomplishments
Somatic interventions and body-centered healing
Implementing values-aligned decisions to lessen achievement-based pressures

I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions throughout Illinois. I am confident in my ability to provide high-quality care in the virtual space. After all, I started doing so before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the industry to adapt.
