As my client, you can expect us to create a clear plan for achieving your therapeutic goals. You can expect to leave each session with something to process alone or a skill to incorporate in your life. All of the goals and plans we will create together and at a personalized pace. I will meet you where you are at in your treatment. I am aware the pace of treatment can vary, so we will build strong and assertive communication skills that are both honest and effective in your treatment.

"The best predictor of human happiness is the quantity and quality of our relationships", Dr. Christine Carter. During the course of our lives relationships often go awry; at work, at home and with ourselves. I use my skills and 30+ years of experience to support and encourage clients to improve the quality of their lives and relationships. My style is warm, open and informal. I use humor, focus on strengths, employ insight, mindfulness and a variety of other techniques to help clients meet their goals and transform their lives.

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I can help with multicultural issues, relocation, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.

I am a licensed therapist in Illinois with over twenty five years of experience. I have worked with most client populations including adults (couples and individual), LGBTQ+, terminally ill, the elderly and disabled. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, vocational or financial concerns, anger issues, survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as relationship issues.

I have clinical experience working with people presenting with anxiety and depression as well as low self-esteem, phase-of-life and transition problems, racial issues, relational issues (whether marital or peer), and familial distress. I believe that with genuine care, support, and accountability, clients can tackle their goals with more understanding and willingness. Though change can be difficult, I believe it is more attainable through the building of a genuine therapeutic relationship. As human beings, connection and support are necessities- especially when we are working on feeling better.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in both CA and IL with over nine years of experience as a therapist and life coach. I also have my doctorate in clinical psychology. My counseling style is warm and interactive and rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. I employ a humanistic, holistic, person-centered, strengths-based, culturally competent approach. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and prioritize fostering a healthy therapeutic relationship. I ensure the client is heard, validated, and contributes to their treatment plan and goal setting.

You are important. You sometimes need to talk through and to work on issues. We all do! That is normal and I would be honored to listen and to help you figure out alternative approaches. You are in charge of the decisions you make.

Do you feel sad, anxious, and irritable and don't know why? Do you lack energy and motivation to accomplish even minor tasks at home, work, or school? Are you struggling to put your life back in order? Please consider talking with a psychologist or counselor to help get you through these difficult moments. Our clinicians use researched based strategies to help clients identify challenges, barriers, and obstacles in their lives which prevent them from achieving personal and professional goals, achieving greater self-worth, or control of their life.

Hey there, I'm Jackie, and I would love to help you navigate whatever life challenges you may be facing. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the therapy/counseling field. I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, work related stress, addiction, and PTSD - just to name a few. I have worked in a Corrections environment for several years and have identified a need for counseling within the Corrections/Law Enforcement/First Responder fields.

What's your definition of birthright? As we grow, family, culture, and society can assign meaning that does not serve our best interest but theirs. Devastatingly, we're often taught to point the finger back at ourselves when things go wrong. But I believe we heal and thrive when we nurture healthy intrinsic (fundamental to who we are) connection to ourselves and others. This work creates a safety net allowing us to build self-esteem and adapt without losing our personal power. Pursuing the arts with a former career as a performer, choreographer, and artistic director, I strongly relate to "fitting-in while trying to stand-out".

We love clients that are ready to work and build a strong therapeutic relationship! Therapy can be truly life changing, but it isn't always easy. Our therapists bring their A-game to every session, with full presence, warmth, and clinical processing abilities. (Also, we are all pretty funny and enjoy humor in sessions :) Our clients are generally working to heal and/or grow, and they build deep, long-lasting relationships with their therapist. We are not the practice to get you in and out, a constant cycle of new therapists and new clients. We choose clients based on best fit and believe slow and steady brings the greatest result.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" (Jung). As a bilingual (Spanish/English) and bi-cultural Jungian Psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I help people to consciously reconnect with their inner life in order to heal themselves. While damage to such connection usually creates a variety of psychological difficulties, reverence to the inner wisdom is a contemplative stance of active listening to the interior music that heals and that connect us with the immensity of our inner life. The inner life has an intelligence that corrects and compensates the psychological imbalances that have created emotional challenges.

Hello, I am Stacie. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I understand that at times the stressors we face in life can become overwhelming and having someone to talk to can make a difference. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice.

I believe we are the experts of ourselves and likely have the answers we are searching for within us. However, how do we find and make sense of something that may lie deep within? Therapy is a helpful tool to assist in sorting thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to find the resolution you need. I applaud you for either just beginning this process or continuing to search for the right therapeutic match to suit your needs. My intent is to provide a safe and supportive space through your counseling experience.

Have you ever been overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or just extremely upset with your self? It is important to learn the tools to be present and aware of you body, environment, and feelings. At times we naturally strive for perfection, but when there’s a road block, we unconsciously become defensive and utilize negative perspectives. Being present and aware allows you to take control of those undesired thoughts and behaviors. Are you ready to take that new step in your life? You can do it! Once you rewire your way of thinking, you can accomplish anything!.

Hello! Are you feeling stuck and struggling to move forward? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Are you finding yourself being self-destructive?

Life always throws us curveballs. You can do everything to set yourself up to thrive, but life happens. The key to making it through life’s obstacles isn’t by fighting or avoiding them. It’s about learning to build resilience. By resilient, I mean having the right coping tools/skills to help yourself on the days you are struggling.
