Therapy can seem daunting, though not quite as daunting as a lifetime of emotional discomfort. Lindsey’s approach to psychotherapy is warm and collaborative, empowering her clients to achieve happiness and an unbreakable inner well-being. Trust and confidentiality allow clients to speak freely from the depths of their mind and soul while feeling truly seen, accepted, and cared for even in their darkest moments. Through a compassionate therapeutic relationship, clients work with the therapist to discover the formation of their unique personality traits, beliefs, and patterns in relationships that contribute to present-day distress.

As an Arab-Latina therapist, I specialize in supporting adolescents, teens, young adults, couples, and families through the unique mental health challenges and transitions that each phase of life and relationship entails. Utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, I focus on healing from grief, trauma, self-esteem issues, anxiety, and depression. My practice is inclusive and affirming of all cultural, sexual, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse identities, providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can flourish.

I have worked with a wide array of individuals across many different intersections of identity and with many different presenting concerns/therapeutic goals. I enjoy working with every individual and find that I work best with folks who are hoping to take a more curious and compassionate approach to self-understanding and their mental health. While I am well-versed in the clinical side of therapy, my clients are the experts in themselves and their lived experiences. It is important for me to understand your value system and adapt our work together accordingly.

Life can be challenging, and everyone has times when they feel overwhelmed and need some support. In my work, I provide a caring, nonjudgmental environment for adolescents, adults, couples, and families to speak openly about their lives and to explore their true selves. Therapy is meant to be collaborative, so picture me as a trusted guide walking beside you as you face what comes next. I specialize in working with young people, polyamorous/nonmonogamous people, and folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. NOTE: I am NOT currently taking new adolescent, couple, or family clients!

I welcome all kinds of clients to my practice, and I'm lucky to work with clients from 19-89 (so far!). My clients are often focused on feeling and functioning better through an exploration of their identities, histories, current situations and goals for the future. I particularly enjoy working with people on issues of depression and/or anxiety, changes in body size and/or ability, chronic pain, trauma, gender and sexuality issues, work and life transitions, aging, stress management, and parenting challenges. My work centers around fostering awareness of and compassion for yourself in moving through everyday life.

I specialize in utilizing Art Therapy to work with people with ADHD, LGBTQ+ issues, anxiety, OCD, depression, & late-diagnosed autism in women & AFAB individuals. Don’t worry if art isn’t your thing, we can leave it out or go at a pace that feels comfortable for you! Being a member of the LGBTQ+ & disabled community & embracing my Latinx identity, I am committed to working with clients through an intersectional lens. I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive, non-judgmental, & open-minded environment, & encourage clients to process both emotionally & creatively. I am enthusiastic about creating a safe space for clients to thrive.

I primarily work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career exploration and life transitions.

I am a license-eligible psychologist practicing in the Chicagoland area, working primarily with individuals and couples in non-traditional, ethically non-monogamous, intercultural, and/or interracial relationships. I specialized in traumatic stress psychology during my clinical training and education, which provided the framework for the compassion-based and holistic approach I take when working with clients who have experienced difficult and stressful events in their lives. I also hold a certification in Primary Care Psychology, adding insight and knowledge about the way in which our bodies and minds interact in reaction to stress.

An ideal client for me, would be someone who hasn't felt heard in a long time. Perhaps someone who's been told "you should do this/that.." but never asked, "what do you want?". Maybe you've never had someone that you can just vent to, and for a therapist to keep things real while still offering professional guidance. An ideal client for me would be anyone who's feeling burnt out, hopeless, or lonely and is ready to regain control of their life. Scopes: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Trauma, Personality/Mood Disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, Adjustment Disorder, Substance use

I am delighted you are taking these first steps on your healing & wellness journey. I know firsthand how nerve-wracking & challenging the process of seeking the best therapist to meet your needs can be. I believe in the power of the therapeutic process & I strive to create a safe space for you to be present with your emotions & any struggles you have found challenging to manage alone. Having a non-judgmental space to explore feelings, experiences, & behaviors with someone who can witness & hold space for the full spectrum of the human condition & meeting you where you are is so transformative & healing.

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.

In the therapeutic setting, my goal is to provide clients the space to be their most authentic selves. Too often in society, we are forced to wear a façade, or be a fraction of ourselves in any given space, for fear of being “too much” or fear of not being accepted fully. In our sessions, I encourage you to take up space unapologetically. I love being able to help my clients discover their real selves and give them the tools to overcome any obstacles in their journeys towards wellness. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I encourage my clients to do the same. The work begins where the masks end.

Hi, I'm K and I'm glad you're here! Therapy is an evidence-based practice that is shown to increase well being in clients of all backgrounds. You deserve a safe and accepting space to explore and process what is on your mind with a multiculturally competent counselor. I emphasize dynamic mental health practices, open communication and kindness in the therapy room. Finding a therapist can be stressful and we know that. I invite you to shoot me an email, text, or phone call with any questions you may have! Your messages are very welcome.

Starting a healing journey takes courage and trust. Everyday life doesn't always provide the safety and support to discover our truest selves. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or major life changes, I am here to utilize your strengths and create a therapeutic environment that will best help you develop the skills to have a fuller life. As an art therapist, I integrate the creative process through art making when it aligns with the client's needs.
