Therapists Beginning With B in Illinois
Therapy is not only for those suffering from severe mental health issues; it's for everyone and anyone struggling with life's challenges. I hope to help clients struggling with common issues such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem learn to identify how their lives are impacted. I work with both adults and children. I have a passion for helping women and mothers who need to find themselves and a balance in life. As well as, neurodiverse children and their parents who need support navigating the world. Sometimes just having someone to normalize and validate your feelings is relief enough. Sometimes it’s just a start.

I am passionate about empowering people to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. I work with adult clients seeking help for depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress management, perfectionism, and life transitions. I am specialized in treating issues at the intersection of physical and emotional health, such as insomnia, weight-management, and chronic health issues. Additionally, I work with professionals in demanding careers to address performance, work-life balance, and burnout. I aim to demystify therapeutic skills and enable individuals to continue to benefit from them long after therapy ends.

As a therapist who lives with ADHD, I understand and feel the challenges of life from the point of view of a neurodivergent individual. There are so many difficulties we face every day, and we are not born knowing how to use coping skills and tools to manage them. As a result, the path you’ve been on may be scary, but I want you to know that you are not alone! This is where I come in. I am a trauma-informed therapist that specializes in working with adolescents and adults who experience ADHD, trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, domestic violence, and sexual assault, or are in need of crisis intervention.

Hi! My name is Kelsey - my goal is to create a safe & collaborative environment for healing - where you can feel seen, heard & felt. I practice being non-judgmental where you can feel comfortable to be yourself (& I can be myself too). I believe that as a therapist, a big part of our job is to continue on our own self-discovery journey. (This is super important to me!). I believe you are the expert on yourself. I do not have all the answers (really no one does) but I hope that we can work as a team together to figure it out.

In therapy we build an honest, non-judgemental sanctuary for you to unload, process, reflect, or simply be. The stories you carry – both told and untold – have shaped your life and given you meaning. Together we will work to explore and understand your inner world, deepening your sense of authentic self. In our sessions, we will integrate your desires, strengths, identities, experiences, worldview, and fears as well as challenge maladaptive patterns that contribute to suffering in order to facilitate growth and reclamation of your story.
