UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Lake Villa, IL

Asking for help is never easy. That's why finding the right fit in a therapist is imperative. By combining a direct therapeutic style with compassion and humor, I can help you or your loved ones address your concerns and develop treatment goals together. My areas of focus include mood disorders, grief, divorce, parenting, school-related difficulties, marital discord, abuse, and treatment-resistant adolescents.

I am currently celebrating my 30th year as a therapist. I work with clients to build upon their strengths and to help them eliminate internalized shame so that they can free themselves of emotional pain. Most clients don’t realize how much strength it takes to suffer through struggle. I have a caring, authentic and compassionate approach. I create a safe and nurturing space to help clients develop the power that they already possess to heal themselves and gain meaning and understanding while walking on their unique journey.

I specialize in treating those who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship struggles and career counseling. I believe that a nurturing relationship with a counselor is critical to a positive outcome and I practice a non-judgmental style that creates a safe environment for my clients.

My name is Marianne Costales-Roman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience working with 7 ages and up struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem, stress, grief, and change of life events. I am most comfortable but not limited to assisting clients in finding ways to manage their anger, stress, anxiety, and depression. I use a mix of ACT, Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, Integrative or Integral Psychotherapy, and Holistic therapies during treatment. . I feel I have an organic approach to therapy and enjoy helping others on their journey to be the best versions of themselves.

Do you have a hard time finding value in the broken parts of who you are? Are you longing to heal the hurt of your past that is limiting your expression of true power? Do you associate your value with how other people see and treat you? Do you want to be fully confident in who you are, and operate in full power? You are in the right place. True liberation comes when we can accept all of who we are, understanding that every part, no matter how painful, deserves love and care. I help women step into full power by rediscovering self, redefining womanhood, and creating balance to maintain harmony in their lives.

Hello! My name is Yahaira and I am a bilingual therapist who has been serving clients in Lake County for the past 10 years. I have worked with children, adolescent and their families with varying diagnosis and life issues. I believe it is important as a therapist to recognize that every client is different, and will need an approach specifically adapted to them. My role in the therapeutic process will be to encourage clients to collaborate in regaining hope in their lives, and overcoming difficulties.

Helping restore a sense of balance and self-worth to my client’s lives is my passion. My experience has spanned over 14 years, with a strong foundation in child and adolescent pathology. My philosophy is to work collaboratively in goal development and attainment, to highlight the connection among faulty thinking, feelings, and ineffective coping patterns and promote healthy changes. Through empowerment to challenge these factors, comes a renewed sense of confidence, strengths, and effective skills to manage life’s stressors and relationships.
