Hello! I’m Dr. Jonathan Thomas-Stagg, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Illinois. I also have the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology through PSYPACT, so I’m happy to work with individuals across 43 states.
One of the things I enjoy most about psychology is getting to know people and helping them better understand themselves. Every person has a unique story, and I believe that understanding that story is often the key to making sense of the challenges, strengths, and patterns that show up throughout life. Often, people seek psychological services because they feel there is something “wrong” with them; please always know there is far more right with you than wrong with you.
Many of the people I work with have spent years wondering why certain things seem harder for them than they do for others. They may be exploring questions about autism, ADHD, anxiety, relationships, or simply trying to understand themselves more clearly. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about your experiences and feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood.
I see assessment as much more than a process of checking boxes or assigning diagnoses. It’s an opportunity to step back, look at the bigger picture, and better understand how your experiences, personality, strengths, and challenges fit together. Whether an evaluation results in a diagnosis or simply provides new insight, I hope you leave with a clearer understanding of yourself and a greater sense of confidence moving forward.
About myself, I’m a father of two teen boys, who present the most amazing challenges and joys in my life. I’m deeply interested in philosophy, cosmology, and art. I love to cook. And though I am fairly introverted, I enjoy 1-1 connections with the people closest to me in life, learning about others, and understanding the world through others’ lenses.
Since 2016, I have treated individuals with a range of presenting concerns in my role as a social worker, now License Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in supporting individuals like you toward your mental health goals by noticing patterns in how you learn, work, and connect with yourself and others.
As a clinician of the mind, my clinical experts consist of evidence-based, trauma-informed, and tailored to address your unique needs. I am accepting new patients who reside in Illinois.
I aim to offer a space where you are free to express yourself fully. Past clients have described me as warm, understanding, intuitive, and honest. When I'm not practicing, I enjoy traveling, eating great food, and shopping.
I know how hard it can be to ask for help – especially if you were raised not to do so. I encourage you to reach out to either begin or continue your mental health journey. Think of me as your partner in wellness. We'll laugh, cry, and reflect deeply together. A more satisfying life awaits you.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to children, teens, adults, and families.

With over six years of experience, I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that blends CBT, DBT skills, and play-based interventions to help clients build confidence, emotional resilience, and real-life coping tools. I provide unique insight as a blind therapist with life experience.
