Therapists in Chicago, IL

Stephanie Liebl is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist. As an art therapist, Stephanie values being able to use creativity in her approach to working with clients. This can be literally using art supplies, but also helping clients look at their issues through different perspectives or experimenting with a variety of coping mechanisms. Stephanie also places a focus on building therapeutic rapport and creating a safe space for clients. She finds it is important to allow the client to work at their own pace to achieve their goals- no matter how long that takes.

Many young adults and working professionals experience life transitions, career stressors, and relationship challenges during this season of life that contribute to chronic feelings of sadness, isolation, and worry. Or perhaps past hurts resurface and we find ourselves having a tough time getting over them. Sometimes in these instances, we hesitate to involve the ones closest to us and, though it can be scary to confide in a therapist, we recognize that we could truly benefit from an objective perspective.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or health issues? Perhaps it feels impossible to keep up with the daily demands of life, and you're not sure where to turn. My name is Lauren Baldwin and I graduated with an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the California School of Professional Psychology, AIU - San Diego. I work with individuals and couples from a systemic, attachment-based approach and more specifically, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I specialize in women's health/sexual health/chronic health issues, highly sensitive people (HSP) and empaths.

"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." -Brene Brown. As a therapist, I warmly welcome you as you are. My goal is to hold a safe space for you to support your intention for growth and healing as your witness, and companion. Whether you are returning to therapy or beginning for the first time, together we will work to figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist and value the intersection of individuals' identities, including gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality.

Are you feeling "out of sync," unmotivated, confused, lethargic, anxious, depressed? Are your relationships suffering? Your productivity at work? Your belief in yourself? When one area of your life is depleted, it can create imbalance in other areas of your life. This can include areas of emotional health, physical health, nutrition, sleep, relationships, work, money, and spirituality. My holistic approach addresses clients as a "whole" person...all aspects within yourself (biology, thoughts, feelings) and outside yourself (work, culture, relationships, finances, etc.). As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Holistic Health Coach, I facilitate your body's own natural healing process.
