Our Providers at Gryzbek Therapy in Naperville, IL
Five licensed clinicians, matched to your situation, not assigned by intake software
Gryzbek Therapy is a 5-clinician group practice in Naperville. We’ve structured intake around matching — not a rotating queue, not a software algorithm. You speak with us, we listen for fit, and you start with the clinician whose training, style, and availability actually fit what you’re working on.
- 3 doctoral psychologists + 2 masters-level therapists, all licensed in Illinois
- Coordinated intake — we match you to a clinician, not a directory
- In-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, UHC PPO, Medicare
Matched to your clinician within 1 business day. No waitlist, no triage queue.

A team that consults, not a directory that refers
Coordinated intake, not a rotating queue
Most group practices run intake as a triage queue — next available, next slot, next name on the list. We do it differently. Intake is a conversation about what you’re working on, what you’ve tried, what kind of clinician fits, and what your schedule allows. The match happens before your first session, not during it.
Internal consultation with authorization
When a case is complex — trauma plus mood plus relationship strain, or postpartum plus anxiety plus identity work — your clinician can consult with the rest of the team (with your authorization). That cross-team perspective produces better care than a solo clinician working in isolation. It’s one of the structural reasons group practice exists.
Continuity of care, real handoffs
If the fit isn’t right after a session or two, we re-match within the practice — clean handoff, shared notes (with your authorization), no starting over from scratch. If no clinician on our team is the right fit, we’ll tell you that honestly and refer you to a Naperville colleague we trust.
One office, one phone line, one intake
5 clinicians, one office on N Mill Street, one coordinated intake line. We share an EHR (with your authorization), we hand off cleanly when scope shifts, and we don’t operate as a referral chain pretending to be a group practice. The structural simplicity is the point.
In-network, no waitlist, 1-business-day match
We’re in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, UHC PPO, and Medicare. Every clinician on our team is paneled with the same plans — your insurance doesn’t restrict which clinician you can see. From first call to matched clinician is typically 1 business day. No triage queue, no waitlist.

How we match you — and why it matters
The intake conversation
When you call (630) 474-1006 or fill out the contact form, intake asks a few specific questions — what’s going on, what kind of clinician you’ve worked with before (or haven’t), what your schedule and insurance look like, whether you’re looking at in-person, telehealth, or either. The conversation usually runs 5 to 10 minutes. From there we recommend the clinician on the team whose training and style is the best initial fit.
Why algorithm-driven referral falls short
Software-driven intake matches you on calendar availability and surface-level keywords. That misses the actual variables that determine fit — the clinician’s training in your specific presentation, their style on the spectrum from structured-cognitive to relational, whether you’re carrying complex trauma or postpartum mood work or couples-system tension. A human intake conversation gets those variables in a few minutes. An algorithm can’t.
If the fit isn’t right, we re-match within the practice
Sometimes the first match works. Sometimes it doesn’t. If after a session or two the fit isn’t right, you tell us, and we move you to another clinician on our team — same EHR, same notes (with your authorization), no starting over. If no clinician at the practice is the right fit, we’ll tell you that honestly and refer you to a Naperville colleague we trust. The work matters more than ego about it.
When your clinician needs a second perspective
Complex co-occurring presentations
Trauma plus mood plus relationship strain. Postpartum plus anxiety plus identity work. ADHD plus high-functioning anxiety plus parenting stress. Your clinician can consult with the rest of the team (with your authorization) to coordinate across overlapping work.
Scope shifts mid-treatment
You started in individual therapy. Six months in, couples work becomes the priority. Your clinician can coordinate a clean handoff or co-treatment with one of the couples-trained therapists on our team. Same EHR, shared notes (with authorization), no starting over from scratch.
Specialty escalation
If trauma work needs to escalate to formal CPT or PE protocols, or if your symptoms suggest a psychological evaluation is warranted, the team can recommend the right next step internally — without you starting from scratch with a new outside provider.
Reasons to call us first
You don’t need to know which clinician fits before you reach out. That’s what intake is for.
FORMAT
Same team. In office or online.
All five clinicians offer in-person sessions at 1979 N Mill Street and secure Illinois telehealth.
Real consultation. Real continuity. Real Naperville psychology practice.
Coordinated, not parallel
Five clinicians sharing an EHR, an intake line, and a consultation loop. When the right hand needs to know what the left hand is doing — with your authorization — the team can coordinate. That’s structurally different from a network of solo practitioners under the same shingle.
3 doctoral psychologists, 2 masters-level therapists
Joe holds a PsyD; Tim and Ellice hold PhDs in psychology; all three carry Illinois licensure. Shelby and Sarah hold MS degrees and are licensed counselors in Illinois. Every clinician on the team is an independently licensed provider — not interns, not associates supervised by an off-site licensee. Different training paths, comparable clinical work.
Testing scope is structured, not credential-gated
Psychological testing and ADHD evaluations are conducted by Joe and Tim directly. The reason is practical: testing protocols require extended training in standardized administration and interpretation. Therapy work runs across the entire team, with no internal tiering by letters after a name.
No prescribers on staff — clean coordination with yours
We don’t prescribe medication. If meds make sense for your treatment, we coordinate with your psychiatrist or primary care provider directly. Many clients do therapy plus medication. The team handles the therapy side and stays in touch with the prescriber so the work coordinates instead of competing.

Frequently asked questions about our team
How does the matching process actually work?
When you reach out, intake asks a few specific questions — what’s going on, what kind of clinician you’ve worked with before, your schedule, your insurance, in-person versus telehealth. The conversation runs 5 to 10 minutes. From there we recommend the clinician on the team whose training fits your presentation. The matching work happens before your first session, not during it.
What if I don’t click with my matched clinician — can I switch?
Yes. If after a session or two the fit isn’t right, tell us. We re-match you to another clinician on our team — same EHR, shared notes (with your authorization), no starting over from scratch. If no clinician at the practice is the right fit, we’ll tell you that honestly and refer you to a Naperville colleague we trust.
Can I meet multiple clinicians before deciding?
We don’t run pre-intake meet-and-greets, but you can read the bios above, request a specific clinician, and tell intake which questions matter most for fit. Most clients find that the intake conversation produces a clearer match than a 15-minute consultation would.
Are all 5 clinicians currently accepting new clients?
Most of the time, yes. If a clinician’s caseload is full at the moment you call, intake will tell you that directly and route you to another clinician on our team whose training also fits. We don’t hold clients on a waitlist for one specific clinician when another team member is the right match.
Do all clinicians offer telehealth, or only some?
Every clinician on our team offers secure Illinois telehealth (60-minute sessions). In-person sessions happen at our office at 1979 N Mill Street in Naperville. Joe is PSYPACT-credentialed, which means he can also see clients in 40+ participating states beyond Illinois — useful for clients with cross-state moves.
Who handles psychological testing versus therapy?
Joe and Tim conduct psychological testing and ADHD evaluations directly. Testing protocols require extended training in standardized administration and interpretation. Therapy work runs across the entire team — every clinician is independently licensed and works with adults, with some seeing adolescents as well.
Can I keep seeing my matched clinician if my needs change?
Usually yes. If the scope shifts — individual work becoming couples work, anxiety work needing trauma escalation — your clinician can either continue or coordinate a clean handoff to another team member whose training fits. With your authorization, notes transfer cleanly so you don’t restart the work.
How does the team consult on complex cases?
With your written authorization, your clinician can consult with other team members about your case. That happens informally in regular team meetings and formally when scope requires it — trauma plus mood plus relationship work, postpartum plus identity work, ADHD plus high-functioning anxiety. The consultation produces better care than a solo clinician working in isolation.
