I offer therapy sessions in person and via telehealth.
Welcome to what may be a journey of significant transformation. My clients often struggle with distressing circumstances in the present moment, past events that they cannot seem to move away from, and potential futures that cause a sense of overwhelming dread. This distress affects their relationships with others and themselves, often doubting themselves and engaging in unhealthy behaviors influenced by disruptive thoughts and uncontrollable emotions. Whether they are rooted in trauma, anxiety, depression, and/or substance abuse, my clients seek resolution of their longstanding struggles and healing in the form of wholeness.

Rather than bore you with my accomplishments, I'm hoping I can convey the essence of who I am & why I love what I do. I am not your typical "how does that make you feel?" therapist. I put a quirky spin on professionalism and show up to sessions authentically. Sessions with me are down-to-to earth, with sprinkles of humor, challenges where needed, and focuses on genuine conversation. Life doesn't have to feel like a shit show and you don't deserve to settle with being comfortably uncomfortable. If you want a therapist that shows up, helps understand the "why's", & gives realistic skills to make actual changes, I'm your girl.

I began my journey in the mental health field in 2017 at a community mental health office in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, where I worked with adolescents and developed a passion for helping them become the best versions of themselves. Since then, I have gained experience in both private practice and inpatient hospital settings with adults, which has allowed me to build a broad and versatile knowledge base to better support my clients. My approach to therapy is grounded in meeting you where you are. If you’re unsure where that is, we’ll work together to figure it out.

Matthew Caston is an LCPC with several years of experience working with adolescents and adults with a variety of personal and clinical issues (mood, anxiety, behavioral, life transition, men's/women's issues, relationships, trauma, etc.). He sees strong conviction in those who are forthcoming about what brings them to counseling. "For me, it shows a level of vulnerability that I've come to respect greatly. With such a large stigma surrounding mental health, I believe it's helpful to adapt to life's stressors; when we're vulnerable to them, learn how the environment may contribute, and what can we do to address the issues at hand."
