Look, life is tough. Workplace environments can be unwelcoming or hostile. Relationships - even the best ones - can be complicated and difficult to manage. Life can be frustrating and frightening. Trauma, addictions, anxiety, mood disorders, difficult relationships - add to the challenge called "living." I may be able to help you. I create a safe, culturally sensitive, validating and understanding environment where you can be open, vulnerable and TRULY yourself.

Sierria Coleman is a practicing Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago. providing individual and couples psychotherapy. Sierria strives to create a warm and inviting space for her clients. My personal mission is to help people take a journey of self-discovery, to find balance and contentment in life. Self-compassion and honest self-reflection are the first steps in avoiding the “happiness trap” and finding true peace and joy.

As a therapist, it is very important to me that throughout the therapy process my clients feel heard, safe, and understood. I know that therapy can be a difficult process, but it can also be a powerful process of self-exploration, discovery, and acceptance that can lead to interacting with others in new and healing ways. I believe that all people have the fundamental capacity for change and I work collaboratively with my clients to help tailor therapy to their individual, couple, and familial needs and goals.

I began my practice in social work while working with foster children in the state's custody. I also have worked with active duty military for nine years. I believe this has greatly increased my ability to work with survivors of abuse and trauma. When working with others I like to find out what their goals are and what they feel they are ready to work on to improve their quality of life. I encourage, validate and support throughout the therapeutic experience to help someone achieve their goals.

I am honored to accompany people on the very personal journey of growth & healing. Life is not easy; it takes courage to share your vulnerabilities in order to unpack hurt, identify inner strengths, and create solutions towards change. My first step is to truly understand your experiences, your perspective on the world, and the unique intersecting identities you bring into the therapeutic space so that I may offer insights or strategies specific to your situation & personality. I frequently treat self-esteem, shame, identity or relationship concerns, women's issues, codependency, and those with a history of abuse or family violence.

Hi there! I’m Rachel (she/her) and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Trained in Integrative Systemic Therapy at Northwestern University, I am most passionate about working with couples and individuals (older teens, young adults, adults) presenting with various needs, concerns, and presentations.

Hello! I’m Jessica, a licensed therapist in both Illinois and Missouri! I have been in the behavioral health field since 2011 and have been licensed as a therapist since 2015. I have extensive experience in treating trauma, co-occurring disorders, as well as, various mental health and substance use disorders. I’m trained in EMDR which is a specialized approach to address trauma.

Hi! I'm Rachel. I graduated from Northwestern University in 2014 with a Masters in Counseling Psychology specializing in Child and Adolescent Psychology. I have been trained in EMDR, worked with trauma in the inner-city of Chicago and am very well versed in this department. I am LGBTQI affirming. My clients have said I have a warm presence. My therapeutic approach is client-centered- I use expressive/art therapy techniques, focus on internal family systems and parts work (essentially looking at oneself through a lens of functional parts, some more at the forefront than others). I offer free 15 min consultations.

I have worked with a variety of clients, including those that have experienced anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, relational issues and trauma. My hope is to be able to help those who are experiencing difficulties to find ways to cultivate change and address their issues in a non-judgmental and safe environment.

Are you feeling stuck because of your anxiety and depression? Do you feel overwhelmed and unable to manage your emotions? Are you going through something that feels all consuming? Do you seem to be repeating the same undesireable patterns? Is your difficulty coping with stress impacting your daily life and ability to connect with those you love? I am here to help! I have a well-rounded background with over 15 years of clinical experience. I am highly trained in addressing the needs of clients struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, mood disorder, grief, PTSD, trauma, and much more.

Have you been feeling unlike yourself, disconnected, or struggling with the grief or loss of someone or something significant? Have you experienced a stressful or dangerous event? Are you experiencing distress or unwanted feelings or emotions? Have you been feeling stuck and ready to process undesirable feelings? If so, you’ve come to the right place. At every in-person or virtual therapy session, we work together to explore your emotional experiences as well as the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that may be holding you back from living the life you desire.

If you’re struggling to cope with past traumas, I can help you identify how this is showing up in your present and offer the tools that will create the path to your desired future. Trauma impedes our natural ability as humans to be able to identify and reach goals, and connect and form relationships with others. I know that this can all be worked through with a positive therapeutic relationship and guidance to rediscovering the inner knowing you possess about what you truly need to thrive. My personal approach to therapy is what allows for others to connect with me- I am laid-back, direct, funny, caring, and non-judgement.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has created a collective trauma. There can be some comfort in knowing that everyone is making sacrifices in this new uncharted world; however, each person’s experience is unique. Often there are unexpected ups and downs in coping that can be surprising and catch us off guard. I specialize in working with clients facing issues of trauma. I have always been fascinated in how the mind naturally creates coping strategies to help get us through tough situations in its drive towards survival. Sometimes these strategies are helpful, but other times they can hinder us from living life to its fullest.

I am a trauma-informed somatic therapist. My approach to therapy is rooted in attachment theory. I love working with clients who are ready and willing to get curious about their emotions and explore those feelings. I specialize in recovery from people-pleasing, helping clients who feel stuck in cycles of self-limiting beliefs, and healing inner child wounds. I have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced trauma, relational wounds, emotional dysregulation, and difficulty coping. I approach this work together with you in collaboration to help you define and understand your goals.

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".
