Therapists in Chicago, IL

Being human is weird and messy. Learning to live with our own thoughts and our internal narratives can be exhausting. I work well with clients addressing concerns related to anxiety, grief, burnout, relational challenges, adult family dynamics, work life balance, feelings of overwhelm, and depression. I have experience working with other health professionals on their own mental health journeys. I enjoy working with "overachievers" and "people pleasers" who are interested in living a life beyond their resume and reconnecting with themselves. I also enjoy supporting clients rebuilding life post brain injury and stroke.

If you've been struggling with the challenges of anxiety, depression, grief, or loss, I understand the weight these struggles carry. Life's journey can be demanding, and having a supportive ally can make a significant difference. I specialize in providing compassionate care, offering a nurturing and empathetic approach.

I have dedicated my practice to supporting children, adolescents and individuals impacted by complex circumstances. I am passionate about working with those who have experienced adverse experiences and supporting their healing in ways that reflect their personal goals. I specialize in supporting children when addressing medical diagnosis and treatment, trauma, or grief. Additionally, I work with clients of all ages who have experienced violence or abuse. It is my priority to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space for us to work together to help you achieve the future you want for yourself and your child.

As a bilingual, Latina, first generation social worker, I know that trying new things can be exciting, unpredictable, and even scary! Wherever you are in your healing journey, therapy is a big step to take, and I'm glad you are here. While I believe you already have what it takes to succeed, a trained therapist can join you to support your unique journey and provide customized skills-training and tools to overcome life’s challenges. Bringing in several years of clinical and leadership experience, I utilize a comprehensive and strengths-based approach that incorporates various modalities, including but not limited to the below:

This world can be overwhelming from managing day to day stressors to dealings with childhood trauma that is affecting your relationships today...yet you have made it this far! You and I both know it takes an especially resilient person to still stand after the trials and tribulations. If you are looking for a therapist to help identify your power, your strengths and will also assist you in achieving your goals, you may contact me for a consultation to see if my approach can help you on your journey.

Looking to create meaning in your life or just find some peace amongst the chaos? Finding the right therapist can make all the difference in overcoming any adversities you may currently face and get you on the path to achieving your goals! As a LCSW with a graduate degree from University of Chicago’s School of Social Administration I feel strongly that the therapy process is a dynamic relationship between therapist and client.

My name is Dymond Hollins and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. My passions include working with adults that are struggling with reaching their life’s goals; specifically related to their vocation, relationships, addictions, life skills, self-esteem and general mental health. I also have experience with children, adolescents and teenagers as well. Whether its loss of a job, family, acquiring a disability, work/life balance or relationship issues, it can feel overwhelming knowing there’s never an easy fix. Developing the confidence to tackle these issues takes time and commitment to oneself.

Our relationships with others can be both fulfilling and challenging. If you don’t feel you have a sense of place or home, I specialize in relationships with couples, families, care-givers, and self. I value collectivist and systemically aware approaches that create trust and empathy. Together, we can develop personal insight that honors your unique needs. We are each dynamic people with different intersections of identity. We can work together to understand and accept your full identity, desires, fears, and experience.

Life is a journey but there are times along the way that can be bumpy or full of pot holes. How do you handle times like these? Would you like to learn new strategies or techniques to manage these times and get back to your journey? You have found the right place. My name is Jennifer and I would like to help you get back to your journey. Taking care of your mental health is very important to your physical health.

Therapy is a great tool to a healthy mind and body. Call me today.

Whether you wish to gain clarity about a life challenge or seek to resolve a deeper change from within, our work together will present an opportunity to rework the patterns that may be disrupting your relationships or preventing you from fulfilling your life goals. I have advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, viewing our therapeutic relationship as central to the change process while helping you understand how past conflicts affect how you feel in the present. I approach our work together from a genuine, empathetic stance with openness, humor, and curiosity. It is important that we are partners in your healing process.

All of us are striving to be true to ourselves and our loved ones around us. Feeling authentic and true to who we are can assist us in living life the way we would like to. Sometimes, our mood-related difficulties and our life experiences can get in the way our authenticity.

Life can be difficult and messy, but also beautiful. I believe wholeheartedly in helping others find the beauty and balance the uncertainty in their lives through a collaborative process. As your therapist, I will listen and provide support and guidance on your journey. I believe growth and change are best fostered in an environment where you feel heard, seen, respected, safe, and valued. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where growth is cultivated to find a deeper understanding of self and ultimately evolve as you discover the power within yourself to create lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who takes a supportive, empathic, and non-judgmental approach with clients to ensure they feel seen and heard above all. Specializing in chronic illness, grief, and loss, I provide a soothing and empowering presence for those experiencing a variety of unique challenges and life transitions. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families on life adjustments, issues of sexual identity, grief and loss, and personal relationships. In addition, I have over 5 years working directly with persons and their care partners impacted by Alzheimer's and other related dementia.

I fundamentally believe that healing happens in relationships where we feel safe, supported, and seen. To this end, I strive to cultivate a warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental relationship with my clients. Therapy will look different for everyone, but I will seek to partner with you to explore difficult past experiences and current challenges in living as a way to better understand what's working and what's not. I will work to help you slow down and tune into the present moment to increase your ability to cope, while also making sense of the ways your developmental context as well as systems of oppression may have impacted you.

Have you ever felt like you could do more, achieve more, be “better” in some way but you’re not quite sure how? Like something is holding you back and if you could just unlock the key to whatever it is, you could level up your life? Long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions may hold you back from experiencing a more fulfilling, more meaningful life - we can change that!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I am passionate about supporting individuals through challenges while utilizing a warm, non-judgmental, and relational approach. My professional journey is anchored in working to understand the unique challenges that face each individual while acknowledging the ways in which systemic barriers can hinder personal growth. My work with clients is to support them in recognizing and harnessing their strengths in the face of oppressive systems. I am driven by a commitment to social justice and to create spaces that foster safety and transformation.
