Meet Dr. Stacey Filerman
Dr. Stacey Filerman is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in providing mental health services to children, adolescents and young adults. She received her Ph.D. from Illinois Institute of Technology, where she received training exclusively focused on evidenced-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Dr. Filerman utilizes CBT while tailoring her approach to each individual client’s needs by using additional techniques and strategies from other researched-based practices.
Dr. Filerman has helped clients through intensive outpatient programs at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago as well as inpatient treatment at Highland Park Hospital. She has a strong background in neuropsychological testing and thus, is skilled at utilizing evaluation results to inform therapeutic treatment methods and relay findings to professionals on each client's support team. With her undergraduate academic background in elementary education, Dr. Filerman is especially adept at facilitating communication between children, parents and school personnel.
Specialties include the treatment of: anxiety; depression; behavioral concerns, such as sleep issues, anger management, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); home life stressors, such as divorce and family conflict; as well as social/emotional concerns, including autism-spectrum disorders.
Prior to starting her own practice, Dr. Filerman treated children, adolescents and young adults at Denise Legacki Tompkins, Psy.D. & Associates in Naperville, Illinois. She received her B.A. in Psychology and Elementary Education from Washington University in St. Louis where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa. Her M.S. and Ph.D. are from the Illinois Institute of Technology and she completed part of her postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at the Pediatric Consultation Center with Jeffrey O'Koon, Ph.D.
Dr. Filerman is a member of the Illinois Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. She lives in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband, two daughters and their dog Harvey.
