Individual and Family Connection

"We cannot say enough good things about Lauren Widaman and IFC. Lauren has been such a fantastic coach and resource for our family!"

"My daughter has made improvements since she started over a month ago. She really likes her therapist (Lauren) and engages well with her. The administrative staff has been helpful and clear about prices; which is quite confusing and complicated with the insurance."

"I have been so impressed by Colleen at IFC! She has been extremely understanding, friendly and really helped my daughter to open up. I fee like her and I are connecting better than ever and she has a much clearer understanding of her emotions. I have already referred friends/family to their team and will continue to recommend IFC to anyone who is looking for a therapy for their young person. They have been better than I could have ever expected."

"When I was looking for a therapist for my kiddo due to an urgent situation in our family, IFC was recommended by a therapist friend of mine, as well as by several parents in a local Facebook group. I needed a therapist with experience in ADHD, anxiety, trauma and divorce, and IFC was a great match. None of the other places I looked at specialize in children and families like IFC does. I was also so grateful that the intake team was able to get us in immediately, as so many other places had waitlists (especially Lurie's...OMG - the waitlist is literally years!!) The therapist we were matched with was such a great fit that I was willing to do whatever it took to make it work scheduling wise, and I am so glad I did. Your child's mental health is worth prioritizing and trust me, the parenting side of the support for you alone is worth moving your/your child's schedule around."

"Julianne is an amazing and passionate leader and such a kind, warm-hearted, funny, down-to-earth person and therapist. She built IFC out of a genuine passion for children and families and wanting them to have a counseling center designed for them where they can get the healing and support they need to lead happy, healthy lives. Julianne cares deeply about supporting her team of therapists and her community, and she puts her heart and soul into that work. I highly recommend IFC and the services they offer to kids and families!"
