Therapist

I take my work seriously. This is not casual for me. When you sit across from me--even through a screen--I am fully there. I believe in being direct, honest, and grounded. I won't overreact, and I won't minimize. I respect your capacity to grow, and I will challenge you, when necessary, always with intention and care. You can expect steadiness, discretion, and focus on real change--not endless processing without movement. Therapy is an investment of time, money and trust. I treat all three with respect.

Dr. Sabrina Coppedge

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Illinois


As one of the country’s few psychiatrists who also practices sex therapy, I can provide unique and specialized services for patients who have been marginalized and oppressed. I offer a combination of sex therapy and medication management, tailored to both your personal and medical needs. While I predominantly follow an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach, I also incorporate elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, and supportive therapy. I completed medical school at the Indiana University School of Medicine (2021), and completed psychiatry residency training at University of Chicago (2025).

I treat 18+ individuals, and specialize in treating individuals within any sexual minority group — including members of the LGBTQIA+, trans, gender-expansive, non-monogamous, and kink communities — plus those who participate in unconventional sexual practices. I also treat couples and individuals within various relationship structures (such as triads, polycules, or other non-monogamous relationships).

Stephanie Barkemeyer

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in adults coping with various mental health disorders including Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Dementia, and Schizophrenia. . I serve clients who are coping with symptoms related to various diagnoses that are often exacerbated by life transitions (i.e., aging, divorce, empty nest, retirement, family dynamics, and health challenges). Many of my clients have found themselves unexpectedly in the role of a caregiver to loved ones coping with chronic health conditions. This adjustment can be both emotionally draining and overwhelming. My goal is to help the individual navigate through these challenges through reflection, learning coping strategies and building or strengthening support networks that will assist in coping with life’s challenges.

Deciding to come to therapy can be very scary. Sharing your most intimate thoughts with someone can be even more frightening.
