Local Hinsdale Mental Health Clinic Celebrates 30 Years! 

Stillpoint Mental Health Associates SC 

For 3 decades, Stillpoint Mental Health has stood, providing a sanctuary for those navigating the complexities of mental wellness. The practice celebrates its 30th anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its mission to transform healthcare through kindness, expertise, and commitment to The Village of Hinsdale, The Community House, District 181, and the Chicago suburbs. A legacy of excellence founded and formally led by Dr. Ralph Cusick and Dr. Brendan Beresford, Stillpoint built its reputation on a foundation of clinical integrity. In 2022, that torch was officially passed to Dr. Deepti Shenoi, a Hinsdale native. Under Dr. Shenoi’s leadership, the practice continues to honor its heritage while embracing a vision for the future—one that emphasizes progress and hope for every patient who walks through their doors. What sets Stillpoint apart is its robust, collaborative team of specialists. By offering a full spectrum of services—including psychiatric care, counseling, and comprehensive psychological testing—they ensure that patients of all ages receive support under one roof. Since 2021, Practice Manager Katie Kurpiel has been a driving force behind Stillpoint’s evolution. By streamlining modern policies and procedures and expanding Stillpoint’s reach through social media marketing, Katie has ensured that the practice remains accessible to a new generation of patients. Her dedication to growing the business to help more people mirrors the heart of the clinic: a desire to expand the circle of healing throughout the surrounding suburbs. Looking ahead as Stillpoint Mental Health enters its fourth decade, its goal remains clear: to be a beacon of light for those in need. Whether through innovative therapy or empathetic psychiatric management, the practice remains dedicated to the belief that every individual deserves a path towards self-acceptance. Congratulations to the entire team at Stillpoint Mental Health on 30 years of service to Hinsdale and beyond.

A-Guy Heating & Air

A-Guy Heating &amp; Air is not your typical heating and cooling service company. We specialize in Mitsubishi mini split heat pump systems. You may be wondering what in tarnation a mini split heat pump is? A mini split is a unit that generally hangs on your wall and gives you both heating and cooling for a single space that doesn’t stay comfortable such as a bedroom, office, or addition. And no, it’s not a magic box that hangs on the wall. The system has 2 parts, an indoor and outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is similar to the air conditioner outside of many homes. The difference is that it’s skinnier and taller. The benefit to this type of system is that it’s much quieter than your traditional air conditioner and more energy efficient too. And no this isn’t some new sci-fi inspired technology. The equipment has been in the United States since the early 80’s. It’s only now starting to gain popularity in the Chicagoland area. Granted the performance has of the equipment has drastically improved since then. The Northeast and the West coast have been using this tech for over 20 years, while the rest of the world utilizes it as their main heating and cooling source as they do not have ductwork like we do. A-Guy not only brings state of the art technology to your home, but ultimate comfort as well.
