Gina Orlando, MA, CH (708) 524-9103 
Oak Park Office Hours I have day and evening hours, Monday through Friday starting at 10 am; evening hours are at 6:30 pm and 7:45 pm. I am located at 915 Pleasant St, Oak Park, IL. Click here for directions. How much does this cost? The first session is 75 minutes and is $125. Subsequent sessions are $100 for a 60-minute hour, except for smoking cessation (for which see below). I ask for a three-session minimum commitment for all clients. You may pay for all three sessions at once. I do ask for payment in advance of scheduled appointments. More than three sessions are often needed and desired if the issue is complex. Longer sessions are also available and prorated. I prefer to be paid by check or cash, but do accept VISA/MC. Note: Weight loss is a process. A client can choose the three sessions or contract for six sessions at the reduced package price of $495. Smoking cessation involves four sesssions; several of them are longer than an hour. I now have a more economical way of doing the smoking program. It's a $395 package. Call for details. Additional sessions may be needed. Reiki sessions are $85 hour. Do you take Insurance? No, because insurance companies normally do not reimburse for hypnosis. What if I need to cancel an appointment? I require 24 hours notice of cancellation and do charge for missed appointments, as standard professional practice. This is my livelihood. Directions to 915 Pleasant Street in Oak Park GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Oak Park is easy to get to and is 8 miles directly west of downtown Chicago. The Eisenhower Expressway, Interstate 290, goes right through Oak Park, as do the CTA Green and Blue Lines and Union Pacific West Line Metra trains. There are many other ways to get to Oak Park by car. Some of those alternate street routes are advisable during rush hour traffic. Choose your favorite route, follow these directions, consult a map or use MapQuest. If you still have questions about specific directions, please feel free to call me well in advance of your appointment.
915 Pleasant (pictured at right) in Oak Park is close to Downtown Oak Park. Pleasant is an east-west residential street, with several apartment buildings, that is one block south of the CTA Green Line Lake Street "L" (or two blocks south of Lake Street). My home office is 5 blocks east of Harlem Avenue and 2½ blocks west of Oak Park Avenue, between Kenilworth and Clinton. PARKING is only on the north side of the street. If you can't find parking, go to the next block west (Clinton). IF YOUR APPOINTMENT IS BEFORE 10 AM, YOU CANNOT PARK ON OUR STREET. There are several spaces from 202-210 S. Clinton just south of Pleasant. During the winter when snow is over 2", please read the street signs for directions where to park. We are directly across from a mustard-yellow painted frame house and next to a very large red brick apartment building on the south side of the street. Our building is a light brick Victorian with two wooden staircases; use the LEFT staircase, top doorbell. It's easy to find. . FROM CHICAGO'S WEST SUBURBS: Take Interstate 290 to Harlem. (During rush hours, you really want to avoid the new Hillside Strangler and come east on any of your favorite major east-west streets.) Exit from the left lane and turn LEFT, going north on Harlem for four lights to Randolph. Turn RIGHT for 5 blocks to Kenilworth. Turn LEFT for one block to Pleasant. Turn LEFT and go ½ block, park on the right (north) side of Pleasant. FROM CHICAGO AND THE EAST: Allow about an hour from the North Side of Chicago. Take Interstate 290 to Austin. Exit from the left lane and turn RIGHT, going north for four lights to Washington (large church on left). Turn LEFT and go about 1½ miles to Kenilworth (2 blocks farther west from Oak Park Avenue) where you'll see a large new middle school (Gwendolyn Brooks). Turn RIGHT for two blocks to Pleasant. Turn LEFT and go ½ block, park on the right side/north side of Pleasant. VIA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: CTA GREEN LINE: I am about 2 blocks from the Oak Park Avenue stop on the Green Line. As you leave this Oak Park Avenue station, continue in the same direction (west) for two blocks to Kenilworth. Turn left for 1 block to Pleasant. Cross to the south side of Pleasant. Turn right for ½ block. Union Pacific West Line METRA TRAIN: After leaving the train, exit toward the east end of the platform. Go south 1½ blocks to Pleasant. Turn left for about 1½ to 2½ blocks (depending on which platform exit you used) to 915 Pleasant. FROM WITHIN OAK PARK: See general directions. Some common landmarks = we are 1½ blocks east of Pleasant Home, 2½ blocks east of Poor Phil's, 2½ blocks west of St. Edmund Church which is on Oak Park Avenue. Pleasant Street jogs a bit. Since I often have to schedule clients rather closely, if you arrive early you may walk or drive around lovely Oak Park. (Please don't ring the bell early, because it may disturb the current hypnosis client. Thanks.) Besides seeing some lovely Victorian Painted Ladies, Pleasant Home is 1½ blocks west, Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple is two blocks north on Kenilworth; The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is six blocks north on Kenilworth, then turn left on Chicago Avenue for ½ block. Ernest Hemingway's Birthplace is at 339 N. Oak Park Ave. Where are other hypnotherapy sessions held? Gina has a comfortable, quiet home office in the Ridgeland Historic District of Oak Park, IL. She is also associated with Integrative Therapies Medical Center, the integrative medical practice of Carlos Reynes, M.D., in River Forest, IL. In addition, she does group hypnosis at Integrative Therapies; the Park District of Oak Park; Gottlieb Hospital's Health and Fitness Center in Melrose Park for their members and for the public; and at other hospitals and businesses for their employees and for the general public. I look forward to our appointment.
