An integrative approach to emotional health and resilience.
About Thomas Nimrod
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) providing individual therapy to adults in Illinois. I work with people who are navigating grief, chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions—often while carrying significant responsibility in their personal or professional lives.
BodyUp
BodyUp Counseling reflects my belief that effective mental health care considers the whole person. While therapy remains the foundation of my work, BodyUp represents a broader lens that values the role of the body, nervous system, and daily habits in emotional health.
Wellness-based offerings—such as mindfulness practices or contrast therapy—are available as optional, self-pay services and are always clearly separated from insurance-billed psychotherapy.
What to Expect
You do not need a defined goal or polished language to begin therapy. The process starts with showing up and exploring your experience collaboratively. I aim to provide a professional, respectful space where your concerns are taken seriously and the work proceeds at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
BodyUp Counseling is a private psychotherapy practice.
“Although generalizations are dangerous, I venture to say that at the bottom of most fears—both mild and severe—will be found an overactive mind and an underactive body.
Hence, I have advised many people in their quest for happiness to use their heads less and their arms and legs more… in useful work or play. We generate fears while we sit; we overcome them in action. Fear is nature’s warning signal to get busy.”
