PROVIDERS

Hi, my name is Kenneth Restor and I am honored to tell you about myself.   I am currently licensed an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in Illinois.  I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) at Silliman University in the Philippines and went on to earn my Master of Science Degree in Nursing (MSN) with a concentration in Family Practice from North Park University in Chicago, Illinois.  As a nurse, I have attained certification in Wound Care since 2015, Wound Care Nurse Preceptor through the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy, and as a Certified Crisis Program Interventionist since 2014.  I am presently completing my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certification.

As a Nurse Practitioner, I have completed several internships around the Chicagoland area with major rotations in primary care, pediatrics, and internal medicine.  I finished my residency training in psychiatric advanced practice nursing at Dr. Parisi & Associates, P.C. in Mount Prospect.  I also have experience working as a visiting advanced practice nurse for those clients who are unable to go to outpatient clinics for services. I have received more than twenty-five awards for nursing care excellence as a provider in inpatient settings and has brought that same level of professionalism and commitment to excellence to my clinic in Hinsdale.  I have served as the owner and director of GENERATIONS BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE, P.C. since 2019 and have served the behavioral healthcare needs of children, adolescents, and adults dealing with an array of psychiatric issues.

I reside in Skokie with my family and enjoy having family time together, traveling the world with my friends and family, reading books, cycling, running, bowling, attending plays and movies, and watching documentaries on TV.   I also volunteer my time in remote communities to provide primary care to underserved populations.  I have served as a chairman for several medical missions and spearheaded an earthquake rescue mission in the Philippines province of Negros Oriental.

I am a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society in Nursing, Red Cross International, the National Alliance of Wound Care and Ostomy, and the American Nurses’ Association.

Hello.  It’s great to meet you.  My name is Dr. Mark Parisi.  Let me tell you a bit about myself.  I am licensed as a Clinical Psychologist in Illinois and Florida since the late 1990s.  I earned my Master of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Psychology from  Roosevelt University in Chicago in 1991 and went on to earn my Master of Science (M.S.) in Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology  and my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) Degree in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in 1995. 

I completed my internship and residency while serving on active duty in the U.S. Army  from 1995 – 1998 and specialized in Child and Adolescent Psychology,  Community Mental Health, Traumatic Stress Disorders, and Neuropsychology. I am proud to say that I am a U.S. Army Veteran having deployed  overseas to the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, in 1997 with the 10th Mountain  Division of the U.S. Army as part of Task Force 2-87.  I was awarded  the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) for my active duty military service  in 1998.  I have worked as a Psychologist and Healthcare Chief Executive Officer since 2000 and have served as a consultant to businesses, schools, and law offices on a wide variety of mental health issues.

As a child psychologist, I have worked as a child advocate, as a consultant for Head Start, and as a  pediatric evaluation and treatment expert.  I have highly specialized  training in the disruptive behavior disorders of childhood (ADHD / ODD) under Drs.  Russell Barkley and Robert Brooks.

I sold much of my healthcare practice some years back to focus on spending more quality time with my family and grandchildren.  I still maintain a clinical practice largely focused on providing remote, telehealth-based counseling and evaluation services.  I have expertise working with children, teenagers, adults, families, and couples.  My treatment style is pragmatic, Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused, and strongly influenced by my exposure to such renowned pioneers in the field as Dr. Donald Meichenbaum, Dr. Albert Ellis, and Ms. Insoo Kim-Berg – all of which I had the pleasure of learning under during my post-graduate training.

I helped co-found GENERATIONS along with my son, Kenneth, and envisioned a company that provided high quality behavioral healthcare to all clients regardless of insurance, background, presenting issues, cultural orientation, or financial resources.

I grew up in Park Ridge.  I am married and live with my family in Skokie where I enjoy family time, playing with our dogs – Gertrude and Blanca, watching the White Sox and Italian soccer, attending movies and plays, reading, hiking, and running.  I am a member of the  American Psychological Association, the Skokie Valley Rotary Club, and the Des Plaines Elks Club.

Hello.  It’s a privilege to meet you.  My name is Tiara and I’d love to tell you a bit about myself!   My career in healthcare spans more than ten years.  I began my career working as a nursing assistant and licensed practical nurse.  It was during these formative years of working that I knew I wanted to pursue nursing at the highest levels.  I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (B.S.N.) from Purdue Northwest University and later my Master of Science in Nursing degree (M.S.N.) with a concentration in Family Practice from Governor State University.

I am board-certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) in Family Practice and have completed major rotations in family practice, pediatrics, OB-GYN, and primary care psychiatry.  I have worked in wide array of healthcare settings as a nurse – from medical surgical units in the hospital to outpatient and inpatient dialysis / telemetry clinics to skilled nursing facilities where I have served as an LPN and RN Supervisor,

I am a proud member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society in Nursing and the American Nurses’ Association.

Hello!  It is a pleasure to meet you and to be able to introduce myself.  My name is Farrah Pece (she / her / hers).  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) in the State of Illinois.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.) in Psychology from Aurora University and my Master of Science degree (M.S.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from National-Louis University.

I use a strength-based approach and believe that every individual has a set of unique strengths and abilities that can help them through life’s difficulties.  I believe strengths are just as important to discuss in therapy as are the so-called “presenting issues” which brought you into therapy in the first place.  I have a great appreciation for other people and my treatment is viewed through a multicultural perspective which allows me to have awareness and sensitivity to my clients’ diverse backgrounds and experiences.  I use the following evidence-based approaches to therapy:  Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).  I provide teletherapy services for Generations Behavioral Healthcare, P.C. and Home Psych Services, P.C. using secure video teleconferencing technology for the comfort, convenience, added privacy and safety of my clients.

I reside in the suburbs of Chicago with my fiance and two dogs.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and learning new things.  My newest hobby is learning Spanish which I can understand well, but am learning to speak fluently.  I look forward to meeting you and helping you find your strengths and overcome life’s difficulties!
