Psychologist
Dr. Skidmore’s interest in psychology grew from her family’s experience adopting three children and providing foster and respite care, including for children with developmental disabilities. She majored in psychology at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, then earned a doctorate in clinical psychology, specializing in children, from Loyola University Chicago in 1996.
Dr. Skidmore spent eight years at Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital (now Lurie Children’s Hospital), progressing from intern to postdoctoral fellow to full-time staff. She focused on developmental and neuropsychological testing, first in Special Infectious Diseases and later in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
Dr. Skidmore opened her Oak Park, Illinois, private practice in 2003, offering psychotherapy and standardized evaluations for children and teens. Since 2014, she has focused on providing therapy for teenagers and adults as well as on working with parents who are dealing with attention learning or behavior issues with their child.
In 2025, Dr. Skidmore transitioned her practice to virtual services. She now provides therapy and parent consultation remotely, offering clients greater flexibility and access to care.
How we approach therapy
Every person who comes to us is dealing with something different. Some are navigating anxiety, stress, or a major life change. Others want better communication in their relationships or more confidence as a parent. Our work starts with listening, then builds a plan around your goals instead of a one-size-fits-all script.
Sessions are held by secure video, so you can talk openly from a private, comfortable space. Many clients find that being in their own surroundings makes it easier to relax and be honest about what they are going through.
Who we work with
- Teen therapy gives adolescents a supportive place to talk through school pressure, friendships, emotions, and the challenges of growing up.
- Adult therapy helps individuals work through stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the patterns that keep them stuck.
- Parenting services offer guidance and practical tools for families who want to strengthen connection and handle difficult moments with more confidence.
You can see everything we offer on our services page.
What to expect when you start
Getting started is simple. You request a time through our appointments page, and we confirm your visit. In the first sessions, we talk about what brought you in, what you hope will change, and how therapy can help you get there. From there, we move at a pace that feels right for you.
You only need a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a reliable internet connection. We are available Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 6:30pm. If you have questions before booking, you are welcome to contact us or call (312) 371-1157. You can also browse our resources for teens and adults between sessions.

What do I need for a virtual session?

Can virtual therapy be as helpful as in-person therapy?
Many people find virtual therapy to be a convenient and effective way to get support for a wide range of concerns. What matters most is a good fit with your therapist and consistent attendance, and virtual sessions make that easier for many clients.
Can parents be involved in a teen’s therapy?
Family support often plays an important role in a teen’s progress. We talk with you about how parents can be involved while still giving your teen a space to speak openly, and our parenting services can help you build skills at home.
