Lake Villa Mental Health Wellness Screenings
Have you ever questioned whether you could benefit from therapy, or wondered if your current coping strategies are as healthy as they could be? At Bradley Counseling in Lake Villa, we believe mental wellness should be treated with the same routine care as physical health.
A mental health checkup is a dedicated one-hour discussion with a professional to:
- Identify your strengths and coping skills
- Determine whether treatment is needed
- Learn about your emotional health
- Identify exactly when and how to seek help if needed
- Give you clarity and peace of mind before challenges become crises.
Your Annual Mental Health Check-Up
Illinois now recognizes the importance of preventative mental health care. As of January 1, 2025, insurance companies are required to cover an annual mental health screening just as they cover an annual physical.
Our multi-disciplinary clinical counseling team provides these screenings for clients of all ages in and around Lake County, IL. During your checkup, we explore the key factors that influence your well-being, including:
- Life Stressors: Identifying current external pressures and their impact on your mood.
- Coping Strategies: Evaluating your current tools for managing stress and suggesting new evidence-based techniques.
- Family History: Reviewing family patterns to understand your unique risk factors.
- Professional Guidance: Receiving clear recommendations on whether to pursue ongoing therapy or other options.
- Specialized Referrals: Direct connections to psychological testing, therapy, or crisis support if needed.
Why Choose Bradley Counseling for Your Mental Health Checkup?

If your checkup indicates that ongoing support would be beneficial, you are already connected to a premier network of clinicians and resources. Whether you choose to pursue therapy or simply want a check-in for your mental health, we are here to support your long-term goals.
