Jason Reynolds, PsyD | Psychologist in Barrington, Illinois and available online across Illinois and California
Depth-oriented therapy for adults seeking more from themselves and their lives
Welcome
I'm Jason Reynolds, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist. I work with adults who have often already tried to make things better — and still find themselves stuck in ways they can't quite explain. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
My practice is grounded in psychoanalytic psychotherapy — a form of therapy that explores the emotional and relational patterns shaping your life, often beneath the level of conscious awareness.
I work with private-pay clients and accept some insurance — fee and insurance details can be found on the FAQ page.
Beginning With Curiosity
You probably already think carefully about your life. And yet something keeps repeating — in relationships, in mood, in a persistent sense that something isn't quite right.
You might recognize persistent anxiety that never quite settles, a sense of emptiness you can't account for, or relationships that follow the same painful script — even after genuine effort to change them.
The difficulty usually isn't lack of awareness. Some of what shapes us most operates beneath it — rooted in earlier experiences and relationships we may not think to examine. Psychodynamic therapy creates space for that kind of exploration: careful, honest, and unhurried.
How This Work Helps
Psychoanalytic therapy works by slowing things down — enough to notice what's actually happening in your relationships, your reactions, and in the room itself. Sessions often surface connections you hadn't thought to make: a current frustration and an old memory, a pattern at work and something from much earlier in your life.
This is reflective work — it asks for your honesty and patience, and offers something more durable in return. The goal isn't symptom relief alone, but a deeper relationship with your own emotional life and the kind of change that holds.
