Aimee Steffen - Art Therapist
Counselor, LAC

I am a Counselor and an Art Therapist because I personally know how life changing therapy can be. I witnessed a school shooting at Northern Illinois University while I was in undergrad in 2008. I was at a complete loss as to how to begin to understand what had happened. The art program that I was a member of was an incredibly close community. The support I found there, along with individual therapy and my personal art making allowed me to process what I was feeling. This experience directly impacted the direction that I saw my life taking.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Therapy with Heart. I have a passion for empowering people to grow and make changes in their life. My style of therapy is unique because it focuses on working with you to find YOUR answers...whatever they may be. It takes courage to decide to enter therapy and until you feel safe and comfortable, it is challenging to create change. Therefore, I structure the session around mindfulness, emphasizing strengths, and collaborating together on the work.

I love and welcome diverse identities and have experience working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with various concerns. With the right therapist, no issue is too large to tackle. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them understand the best decisions for their lives and relationships.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor my professional orientation has been based on the Cognitive Behavioral model however, I believe that there is not a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. With over 15 years of experience providing behavioral management and mental health services, I utilize integrative therapy techniques in order to meet the individualized treatment needs of each person. I offer counseling and talk therapy services; however, I do not currently offer psychological testing.

If you are reading this, you have taken the first step towards change, great job! I believe the therapeutic relationship should provide a safe place to explore the relationship to self. While doing this, you can embrace, challenge, process, and reflect on your thoughts and feelings. We can work together to understand and move past stressors from life transitions, relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Much of my experience has been counseling with active-duty military, veterans, their families, and first responders, helping them cope with the unique cultural stressors that arise with these roles.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
