Para contactarme, por favor mandeme un correo electronico a traves de este sitio. Yo creo que cada quien tiene el derecho de sanar, ser escuchado y crecer. Baso mi trabajo terapéutico en la amabilidad y la compasión hacia el cliente y siempre con un buen sentido de humor. También entiendo que no todos sanan de la misma manera y soy capaz de hacer mi trabajo a la medida para que su experiencia en la terapia sea agradable. Mi enfoque principal siempre es el de establecer las fortalezas de la persona para asegurar que Usted se siente entendido/a y considerado/a como una persona completa, no tan solo como una persona con "defectos."

La psicoterapia es una herramienta para enfrentarse mejor a los desafíos de la vida que, por momentos, nos parecen abrumantes o confusos. Al ponerle palabras a esos sentimientos, comprendemos nuestos patrones de conducta, las dinámicas en nuestras relaciones y el por qué de las decisions que tomamos. Esto permite que cambios positivos nos sean posibles. La terapia se lleva a cabo en un espacio de apoyo y sin censura de ningún tipo. Es donde exploramos los pensamientos y las emociones que sientes. Mis tratamientos se basan en las circumstancias particulares de cada persona y las preguntas que cada uno tiene sobre su vida.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with 15 years of extensive clinical experience providing support to children, adults and families in Spanish and English. I have worked with a diverse client population experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, chronic illness and medical trauma. Do you need emotional support while healing from past traumas? Is anxiety or depression limiting your potential to live a full life? I am here to support you in your journey towards healing and feeling good about you!

Welcome! (Bienvenido/a!). My name is Jess and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe that every person has the right to be heard, to heal, and to grow. I approach therapy from a place of kindness and compassion, openness and curiosity. My work with clients begins from a strengths based place, to ensure that you are seen and understood, taking into account your inherent strengths as well as your areas for growth. I also believe that people are deeply impacted by the world around them and therefore, I focus my work with clients to identify and unpack oppressive forces in their lives.

My practice is multicultural, multilingual (Japanese, Spanish, and English), and multidisciplinary (as a former teacher). My approach is flexible and practical. I work with clients to identify major issues and develop treatment goals. Clients are empowered through access to reliable psycho-educational tools and materials to better prepare them to advocate for themselves and others. We then work together to (1) develop individual coping skills, and (2) cultivate social/environmental supports (e.g., linkage to support groups, strengthening of community or family ties). My goal is to enable clients to resolve issues/manage symptoms independently (without professional help) in future.

Leslie is a clinical licensed professional counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois. She received her M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University.

Leslie is excited to work with youth (13+), young adults, and adults via telehealth.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe in every person's capacity to heal, grow and foster deep transformation in their lives. In my practice, I act as a companion to teens and adults who have powerful stories to tell. These may be rooted in histories of complex trauma and pain, new explorations into self and identity, grief in the midst of life transitions, and challenges related to feeling "at home" in one's own body. Ofrezco todos los servicios en español y estoy feliz hablar con usted, por teléfono y en persona, sobre sus intereses, preferencias y esperanzas para la psicoterapia y su salud mental.

Hello, I am Beatriz Gonzalez a Latina LCSW who specializes in trauma-based work. I am bilingual in Spanish/English and enjoy working with a diverse population. I have years of experience counseling adults and adolescents that are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life-transitions, relationships, grief, and other stressors.

My name is Marisol Cruz, and I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have 24 years of experience working with school-age children from kindergarten through 12th grade. I also have worked with students with various diagnoses. My main objective in working with students is to help them by supporting and guiding them so that they can carry on a daily routine in school and within any environment. A partnership is created whereby the children and adolescents are actively involved in helping to create personal growth and development in their lives.

I am a bilingual and bi-cultural therapist who values the strength of a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. You might feel overwhelmed with finding a therapist if you are already feeling stuck. It can be hard to find someone to disclose your feelings to a "new person" during your time of vulnerability. My warm, empathetic, and non-directive approach has helped those new to therapy feel comfortable disclosing their most difficult emotions and experiences. My approach is collaborative, where I can guide you to find the right tools to feel in control of your life again.

Loss can be a shattering experience. Whether it's the death of a beloved partner, family member, friend, or even a major medical diagnosis, relationship breakup, or job loss, you know your life will never be the same. You're not even sure how to pick up the pieces, let alone how to rebuild your life. Yet, much like kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, therapy can offer you a place to rebuild your shattered spirit in a transformational way. Working together, I aim to empower you to rebuild your life in line with what matters most to you using your own unique strengths, talents, and life experiences.

My goals are simple- to help my clients make meaningful life changes and gain mastery and stability in their lives.

The weight of your daily responsibilities and tasks can be overbearing. You may feel as if you have no control and fear is starting to set in. At times your past comes to haunt you and guilt and shame can rear its ugly head. Perhaps you find yourself in limbo, trapped between two cultures. Your family riddles your waking life with obligations and expectations from the motherland. And yet your innermost desires cater more to a modern “American life”. Living between two worlds can at times be a difficult balancing act and you feel as if you do not fit anywhere.
