Hi- My name is Jennifer Wolf, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 7 years of professional work experience. I obtained my Master's Degree in School and Community Counseling from National-Louis University. I also hold a Professional Educator License (PEL) with an endorsement in School Counseling. I have experience in helping clients of all ages with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, career difficulties, and executive functioning.

Wow…how did the day turn out like this? No, how did the YEAR turn out like this? It’s felt like a complete shit show. The career that went up in flames, that grief and loss that swallowed you whole, the relationship struggles that make you want to pull your hair (and eyebrows) out…the health issues that make you permanently set up camp in bed all day with your dog…it’s really f-cking sucked. And it’s been so lonely. No one really seems to GET IT and nothing seems to help. Cue the magic wand, please?! Well, I know I’m not a magic wand and therapy isn’t either BUT I will tell you that you can feel a hell of a lot better…

Culturally Competent Therapy specializes in building trust and a therapeutic alliance with their clients, so they are prepared to do the work. Clients, often including licensed therapists, feel accepted to be themselves in a safe environment. Individualized tailored approaches include culturally sensitive cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to treatment that may challenge the client's belief system. I enjoy helping clients of all backgrounds discover the root of their problems and understanding the value of cultural factors such as family, race, socio-economic status, work/career demands, and integration of faith.

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".

am licensed in Illinois and Utah with 6 years of professional work experience in community mental health and substance abuse. While working in community mental health has been a wonderful experience, I decided to move forward in my career and have been in private practice for almost a year now. I have experience in helping clients with a variety of concerns from coping with addictions to parenting issues.

I get it, adulting is HARD! Sometimes, it can feel impossible to manage everything life throws at you, like work, school, dating, friendships, finances, and so much more. Therapy can make it easier. I specialize in counseling young adults, ages 18-35, helping them adjust to this new phase of life. If you're looking to learn how to manage stress and anxiety, develop your career, make new friends, build healthy romantic relationships, establish boundaries with family, moderate substance use, or improve your relationship with food and your body, we may be the perfect fit.

There are times when we feel stuck and needing some sort of change. We do not always know what that change is. Fears, anxieties, or other obstacles get in the way. We grow frustrated with our inability to create change. Perhaps you are uncertain as to whether you want to continue in your career path. Maybe you are frustrated with your relationship and need to change it, or are considering moving on. Maybe you are continually having difficulties expressing yourself, or in dealing with stress, grief, anxieties, depression, or family/relationship matters.

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety? Have you been struggling with a much-needed life transition? Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief due to the loss of a beloved member of your life? Do you work in the medical field experiencing burnout from the last few years of being pulled in every direction? It is time for you to focus on your healing, where Emerald Reflections Counseling can help you. Together, we will work on developing the tools you need to start focusing on the cause of your personal difficulties while building meaningful social connections.

Hello, my name is Stefanie and I am a LCSW therapist dedicated to providing high-quality therapy services that prioritize your well-being and growth. My mission is to help you live your best life by embodying the values of service, competency, and kindness in my work. I understand that every individual has unique needs and goals, and I am committed to working collaboratively with you to achieve your desired outcomes.

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.

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.

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.

We love clients that are curious and open minded, as well as clients that are ready to be an active participant in finding and creating their most authentic lives. While our therapists each hold different areas of specialization including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, grief and loss, and LGBTQIA identity work, we all value long-term, insight oriented work aimed at creating a more holistic understanding of self for a more fulfilling life.

We deliver high-quality executive mental health and leadership development programs that drive business success. Unlock peak performance, elevate workplace mental health, and drive business growth. Led by a team of highly skilled corporate psychotherapists, executive performance coaches, and organizational psychologists, we support group and team relations, leadership, communication, high performance, and thriving for healthy, high-performing leaders and teams that drive business success.

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.

We are currently accepting new clients via video/phone and in person appointments at our downtown location. Please reach out through email or phone to set up an intake call and to be scheduled promptly. We accept most insurance and your coverage will be verified prior to your first appointment.

Whether working with children, adolescents, teens or adults, my approach is to be compassionate and attuned to your unique set of needs, providing a space for you to feel understood, appreciated and learn self-acceptance, ultimately achieving more effective strategies for dealing with life's stressors.
