Career Counseling Therapists in Chicago, IL

Hello there, I'm Melissa and I would love to be on your team. Do you you feel like you're stuck in an overwhelming limbo? Have you come to a crossroads with your career , relationship, or values and aren't sure which route to take? Is it hard to be consistent with your self-care and self-love? Are you unsure if you need therapy or counseling and are here to test the waters? I empower and support high-functioning adults in finding answers to the questions about themselves that keep them up at night.

I have helped adult clients of diverse ages and cultural identities address work-related stress, career and life transitions, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, and family of origin issues. In particular, I have extensive experience working with clients navigating early-adulthood as they seek meaning and fulfillment from their work and relationships.

My compassion for the vulnerable and the marginalized is the foundation of my therapeutic practice. I work with those who may have been chronically invalidated based on their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The work we do in a session will allow you to build skills to combat anxiety and depression. I work to help my clients heal from grief and trauma. I provide guidance and support during stressful life transitions, while discovering your truest identity and desire. I want to help you transform from feeling stuck into finding meaning and mission in your life! I work with helping you find your calling!

In working with my clients, we explore what holds meaning, what patterns/habits work and no longer work in their life as well as who/what helps them create balance and motivation. When clients find that some of their reactions and emotional responses are no longer having the same effect, we work together to allow their authentic self to take initiative and risks as they engage in relationships with a more healthy, centered, and intentional stance. I value and welcome my clients’ spiritual journey and faith background and the variety of practices that aid in healing and restoring integration and connection in our work together.

Motherhood is a long process with a lot of twists and turns. Here we provide counseling to women of color who are navigating the demands of motherhood. Many moms say they have a hard time with work-life balance--they can't seem to find the right formula. Being a mother is hard, but there are ways you can learn to prioritize yourself and still give your family the love and care they need. It is important for mothers to fill their cups, so they can be their best selves for their children and partners. Moms that engage in regular self-care and learn how to identify their stressors.

I am a bilingual counselor at New Insights Behavioral Health Services. I’m a lifestyle and career expert committed to helping adults & adolescents learn how to better their lifestyle choices that support their personal life (friendships, relationships, life transitions) and careers.

Are you going through a hard life transition? Do you need relationship support? Do you feel stuck, anxious, and in need of a space for personal reflection? As anxiety builds, it has a way of controlling our life; our mood, self-esteem, relationships, work, school, and sleep all suffer. My holistic approach addresses clients as a "whole," and we dive into how you feel presently, your future expectations, and how your past contributes to your current feelings. We reflect on who you are, the environment you're surrounded by, and where there is opportunity for change.

I pursued a career in therapy because I believe that holistic healing is possible. Taking care of your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness, enables you to take care of others, and live a life of joy. With a background in the arts, storytelling, and visual media, I integrate the power of story in the narrative of your life, past present and future. Where are you right now? How has right now been impacted by your past, and what is a vision and purpose for who you want to be? What do you want your life to look like in the future? We can work on all this together.

The willingness to hold a mirror to ourselves in therapy is no small task. It requires courage, vulnerability, patience, practice and persistence. Sometimes avoiding the mirror altogether can wind up more exhausting than looking at it head on. The key is learning how to start greeting your reflection with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment. This may sound easier said than done, but I can help you with that. I strive to provide a warm, accepting, and insightful space in which to unpack whatever is coming up for you.
