Any good therapy/ psychologist recommendations in the Chicago area to help tackle my anxiety/ depression?
I feel I can talk myself out from depression but can't deal with anxiety issues.
Thanks.

I’d recommend starting at your PCP, as they will be easier to get an appointment with. From the initial screening they can start to refer you to in-network psychologists and prescribe medication as needed.

What are your anxiety symptoms ?

Anxiety is an over-thinking disease. You cannot easily out-think and over-thinking disease. Sounds like you are seeking the right thing in seeking therapy.
