I know that starting this process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Using warmth, empathy, direct feedback and skill building I can help you more fully understand yourself and your relationships and therefore feel empowered to start living the life you want to live. While it is important to minimize daily struggles that get in the way of being fully present in your life and relationships, I firmly believe that healing comes from exploring how our past experiences have affected the ways in which we interpret and interact with our world in the present.

Seeking therapy is often a difficult process for many individuals of diverse backgrounds due to cultural stigmas and stereotypes around mental health. Trying to then find the "right" therapist can feel impossible whether it's your first time looking, or even your third, fourth, or fifth time after another not-so-great encounter. I believe that a safe therapeutic space can open many doors for minority populations who are seeking to better understand and cope with their mental health, especially when approached with multicultural and feminist perspectives thats allow for a level of empathy that is often unavailable in other spaces.

Do you ever feel like the support of your family and friends is not enough? You don't have to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder to benefit from therapy. Many people turn to therapy for help with everyday life issues: relationship problems, anxiety, and self-doubt. Others seek therapy during difficult times such as sexual abuse and grief. In order to reap the benefits of therapy it's important that you choose the right therapist- someone you can trust, who makes you feel valued with the experience to help you overcome emotional challenges and make changes for the better in your life.

As complex beings, we are created to synergistically function in wholeness in our spirit, soul, and body. When our souls are wounded by negative life experiences, we begin to believe lies about ourselves, the world around us, and God. This leads to the compounding of various negative symptomatic behaviors and thoughts, fueled by a corrupted belief system. It is in the uprooting of these lies through the Spirit of Truth that we find freedom and wholeness, while discovering our created value and purpose this side of Heaven.

My success in providing treatment comes from my honesty & genuine interest in my clients. I am empathic, nurturing, & warm. I bring levity to the consultation room as it allows us to feel connected & creates/fosters secure attachments while exploring concerns, personal histories, fears, etc... This builds meaningful & caring relationships and creates trusting bonds amongst myself & my clients. When these bonds develop it allows clients to experience healthier, more fulfilling lives. Through the therapeutic process of establishing & exploring boundaries we learn to better understand & resolve the conflicts & traumas holding us back.

As you embark on your journey, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore, understand and challenge life experiences that shape our identities and perceptions of the world. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of experience providing therapy and other clinical services to individuals struggling with severe mental illness and addiction, I approach therapy from a holistic and multicultural perspective. As a Mexican and Filipino American woman, I draw on my personal experiences to better understand how cultural factors influence our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us.

I enjoy helping people to ground themselves and learn proper techniques and tools to work toward a better situation. Working with clients who are determined to get through their challenges inspires me. Things may not be perfect, but they can be better. I will always try my best to help you; the first step is you asking for that help.

Welcome! I am a bilingual art therapist who is passionate about serving the well-being of our communities. As a first-generation immigrant, I understand the stressors that minorities face as we navigate the challenges of living and working in a society that is embedded in systemic oppression. I work from an intersectional and culturally-informed framework, exploring how experiences and narratives are impacted by dynamics of power, privilege, and other social factors. As a trained art therapist, I also use movement, art, the senses and other therapeutic modalities to explore your personal goals and to help lessen any symptoms.

Is life not how you want or planned for it to be? Are the sources of stress and worry creating a daily struggle? The human journey is fraught with peril and navigating the challenges we face can feel overwhelming. I am Jon Mark Bormann, a licensed clinical professional counselor. I believe that the goal of therapy is to restore enjoyment to life.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or like you just can't get everything done? Do you often wonder how everyone else seems to do it but you can't? Like you are letting people down or you are not enough? Do you struggle to find joy in everyday life or find it difficult to shut down the racing thoughts and enjoy the moment? If so, you have come to the right place. My name is Lauren and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois. I have worked with families, children and teens, in residential substance abuse, private practice, adoption preservation and correctional settings.

Hi. I’m Rebeca Daniels, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I help individuals who want to feel confident in their choices and control over their lives. Most of my clients want to seek recovery from trauma, feel confident in social settings, and have fulfilling relationships with their loved ones. I began my career working with women escaping abusive relationships, and most recently, working with adolescent students from Chicago Public Schools. Both settings centered around crisis intervention, processing trauma, and identity exploration.

Going to therapy can be one of the most intimidating and challenging steps a person can take, but it is also a step worth taking. Whether it is your first time seeking therapy or whether you have done therapy for years, I am here to walk with you at your pace and meet you where you are. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe and free from judgment, a space where you can give yourself the grace and patience you deserve. Some of my areas of focus are anxiety, depression, esteem-building, emotional regulation, grief/loss, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties.

Sometimes we struggle with unhealthy patterns, feel lost, or less able to cope. We need a safe place to process relationship problems, work on making changes, & grasp tools to deal with life's stressors. We store much of our emotional past within our physical bodies; together, we'll learn to release that energy using all 5 senses to become more present. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, sexuality and gender-affirming. Since 2009, I have helped many people take the steps to turn pain into growth and regain control of their lives.

Grateful, I spend my days listening to what people have to say about their life experiences and attune to their goals for therapy. I view people through a holistic lens that honors the bio-psycho-social and, if desired, spiritual elements of their identity. My clinical background ranges from working in multiple settings such as community health and college counseling centers. Though a generalist, I have developed a growing focus on working with first responders and helping professionals, and more increasingly, other therapists seeking their own therapeutic support.

In my work, I greatly value collaboration within the therapeutic space in efforts to overcome adversity. I bring a sense of curiosity, acceptance, and authenticity into my sessions in effort to let clients know that I am invested in what they have to say. I understand the importance of social and racial justice within the therapeutic space. Taking a client's culture, family background, and inter-generational patterns and trauma into account is a vital part of my approach. The act of opening yourself up to the therapeutic process can be scary and vulnerable. I strive to create a sense of safety within that vulnerability.
