Therapists in Loop, Chicago, IL

I love working with college students, adults and couples on a wide variety of issues, but in particular I specialize in ADHD, dating and relationship concerns, family trauma, ethical non-monogomy, polycules and life transitions. My hope for you is straightforward: to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, where you'll gain the tools, insights, and courage to embrace your potential and live a life that's authentically yours.

I specialize in helping clients holistically work through anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, work-life balance, marital/relationship issues, communication, and family of origin issues. Whether it is managing anxious symptoms, navigating inhibiting conflict, or even just tackling the stressors that come up in the day-to-day, I work with you to uncover your inherent strengths, and help you leverage them with quality strategies to achieve healthy, desired change. Each session, I collaborate with you to lift your biggest constraints, offer quality guidance, and provide the tools to connect with yourself and others more freely.

It seems you are ready to take the next step if you have made it this far in your search. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor here to help you and/or your loved ones process your issues, make a change, or simply help you decide what you need. I provide counseling to people of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience in a variety of settings from private practice to emergency room services, so I am here to help with whatever needs you may have. I strongly believe that we all have different starting points and my job is to meet you wherever that is and start your journey there.

Have you felt invisible, misunderstood, and tired of showing up for everyone else? Maybe you've reached out and haven't found someone to lean on or trust. Have you gone to coping mechanisms like eating disorders or drinking to find a sense of control? Are you having relational issues in your family, with friends, or with your partner? Have you experienced seasons of anxiety or depression? Have you ever been exposed to or experienced sexism or spiritual abuse? Are you experiencing betrayal trauma from your partner because of sex addiction? If any of these resonate with you, I'd love to meet you.

With a deep understanding of the complexities of human suffering and the importance of cultural competence, I am passionate about creating inclusive and affirming spaces where all individuals feel seen, valued, and supported on their journey towards healing. Drawing from evidence-based practices and a holistic approach, I tailor interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, empowering them to navigate life’s challenges with courage and resilience.

Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of self-criticism, leading to persistent feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness? Do your emotions sometimes overwhelm you, resulting in reactions that feel disproportionate to the situation? Navigating relationships can become even more challenging when affected by family dynamics. Maybe you have been having concerns with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/ loss, life transitions, career/school stress, self-harm, and relationship challenges. Perhaps you’ve become discouraged by your attempts to help yourself. That’s what I’m here for.

In my work, I value authenticity and self-actualization and believe individuals have the inherent knowledge and tools necessary to become better versions of themselves. With this, I aim to serve as a “fellow traveler” - there to assist clients as they navigate their unique journeys. I believe the therapeutic relationship can serve as a springboard to emotional healing, growth and self-discovery and thereby work to build trust and foster empathy with clients. I embrace the ‘here and now and collaborate with clients to identify obstacles that inhibit progress while incorporating tools that allow it.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adolescents and adults, focusing on life-stage transitions, mood disorders, relationship conflict, and families with special needs.

Have you noticed that there are many people in your family who keep secrets or struggle with expressing emotions? Have you noticed that you have similar traits or even health issues similar to older family members? This is intergenerational trauma. The way emotions are handled, health struggles and even stress can be passed down to younger generations. The Self Inside is the space for black women to heal from intergenerational trauma so they can not only change their life but the lives of future generations.

I have experience working with individual clients with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity development, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism, eating disorders and substance abuse. I have also worked with families and couples on communication, infidelity, parenting, balancing personal and professional life and more. My specific areas of focus include navigating life and career transitions, anxiety, depression, couples working on communication, work/life balance, coping strategies for overcoming unwanted habits, and family conflict.

Many of the individuals and couples I work with experience anxiety, professional/work-related stress, interpersonal relationship issues, life transitions, depression, and unresolved trauma. Often, clients are looking to reflect on their personal and family history, build self-awareness, process everyday stressors, and/or develop coping skills. In my work with clients, I seek to establish a supportive, empathetic, and consistent relationship that will be the foundation for deep introspection and growth.

As we know it, there can be a wide variety of experiences in our relationships. Positive times can bring us so much joy. Whereas, challenging times can feel more painful to navigate. Understandably, it can be difficult to find a balance and acknowledge strong emotions, be honest and communicate how we feel, and work through our differences. Therefore, it would be my honor to help support clients to a place that feels safe to acknowledge all parts of ourselves and our relationships.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors? Going through a difficult time? Trying to manage a challenging life transition? Or feeling stuck at work or in a relationship? I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or family therapy, we can work together to find peace again and achieve the goals which you've wanted but have felt out of reach.

Hello! I am a student in the final year of my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program at The George Washington University, and the Couple & Family Intern at Fleming Family Therapy. I have been working as a registered nurse (Labor & Delivery) for the past 8 years. From a young age, I have had a passion for learning about and promoting open conversations about mental health. When I am not at school or work, I spend time on walks and hikes with my 6-year-old Great Dane!

Feeling completed overwhelmed by a recent major life change? Are you a parent, recently ended a relationship, or simply experiencing the growing pains of life? Maybe you are ready to make some changes, but not sure exactly where to start. I am passionate in assisting you with sorting through family of origin issues, & then interrupting patterns that have kept you from the life & relationships that you deserve, including the one with self! l I am also trained in perinatal mental health. I can support you through pre-pregnancy through postpartum. Wherever you are on your life's journey, you don't have to live unfavorably in any way.

Are you done with feeling uncomfortable in your body? Are you exhausted from trying to battle the constant negative thoughts about yourself? You may even start to notice that these feelings and thoughts are getting in the way of you being able to enjoy your life. And so you try and reach out for support to family and friends. It helps to feel heard and yet you still aren't able to shake this self-doubt and sense that you just aren't good enough. You want to feel secure and confident, but trying to get there on your own just isn't working. It's become too tiring and confusing to feel better all on your own.

Finding a therapist you feel connected to and understood by is the key to a successful therapy experience. I pride myself on being an authentic, non-judgmental therapist, who is down-to-Earth & not afraid to use humor or a gentle nudge in my approach. Therapy is a partnership and my style is active, collaborative, and empowering. We will focus on finding solutions together by utilizing your strengths and fostering insight in a relaxed and safe environment. I especially love working with & empowering introverts and Highly Sensitive People!
