Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Adults in Illinois and California
Psychotherapy for adults seeking understanding, clarity, and connection in Barrington, Illinois, and available online throughout California and Illinois
Welcome - I’m Jason Reynolds, a clinical psychologist (PsyD) with more than 15 years of experience working with adults in psychotherapy.
My work is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic traditions, which focus on understanding the deeper emotional patterns that shape how we experience ourselves and relate to others. Many of these patterns develop earlier in life and continue to influence us outside of awareness.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in a range of clinical settings supporting individuals facing anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and questions about identity and meaning. These experiences have shaped my belief that meaningful change often comes through thoughtful exploration, curiosity, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Common Reasons People Reach Out
You may be feeling:
• stuck in the same relationship dynamics
• anxious or overwhelmed without understanding why
• disconnected from yourself or others
• weighed down by old experiences that still affect you
• curious about understanding yourself more deeply
Psychotherapy offers a space to explore these experiences and gradually develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is informed by psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, we explore:
• emotional patterns that repeat in relationships
• unconscious beliefs about yourself and others
• early experiences that shaped your inner world
• the ways past and present interact
Over time, greater understanding can open new possibilities for living, relating, and making choices.
Areas of Focus
Therapy may help with:
• anxiety, burn out, and chronic worry
• relationship difficulties
• identity and life direction
• grief and loss
• trauma and past experiences
• feelings of emptiness or dissatisfaction
Getting Started
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults and provide both in-person and telehealth sessions.
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and it’s important to find someone who feels like a good fit. I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can briefly connect, discuss what’s bringing you to therapy, and see whether working together might make sense.
