Teletherapy for Illinois

Being in practice for over a decade, I have experience counseling adults, adolescents, individuals, families, and couples, presenting with issues related to depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-injury, process addictions, obsessive and compulsive disorders, relationship concerns and co-occurring addiction concerns. I have dedicated my career to working with, researching and treating, a variety of populations, and cultures including the veterans. My work focuses on mentoring and fostering growth in everyone to overcome life's trials.

Sometimes in life we just want to be seen and heard by a compassionate and non-judgmental person - someone who listens in a way that makes us feel visible, valued and validated. I create a space where this happens for my clients, fully believing this enables healing from the past, freedom to live in the present and a strong sense of empowerment to reinvent yourself and create the future you desire. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, or trauma, I am here for you. In light of the pandemic, you may just need extra support to learn coping strategies to maintain your best possible emotional health.

Hi! My name is Sandy and I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing counseling to teenagers (12+) and adults in Illinois. My past clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults, and veterans, especially those with past trauma and/or those who struggle with anxiety and depression. I also am passionate about working with immigrants, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ community members and multicultural populations. I especially believe in providing support for these populations as they are often systematically underserved and overlooked in behavioral health and healthcare.

Sometimes LIFE can be challenging. With the right coping skills, change of perspective and more insight, life situations can become more manageable. Not sure how, when and why? Allow therapy to help clear your mind and get some questions answered. You should be heard, not judged when talking about personal, important matters. My approach is solution focused and tension reduction. New or old to therapy? No worries, my approach is customizable. You will gain a personalized and creative coping skills plan geared towards your healing. My hands on approach works well for clients through education and homework. Let's get creative together

Are you having difficulty tuning out everyone else so you can hear your own inner voice? Do you feel exhausted, burnt out, or angry at the end of most days? Does it feel like something is missing from your life, but you're not completely sure what? If so, there is hope. I will walk alongside you on your mental health journey with validation, gentleness and practical suggestions. I believe good therapy includes genuine connection and humor. I will laugh at your jokes (if they're funny), and maybe even make a few (but no guarantees they'll be funny). Typically, I use self-disclosure sparingly and intentionally.

Have you been feeling stuck, stressed, or disconnected? Are you here now because you are searching for someone to begin your therapy journey - or pick up where you once left off? I'm here for those ready to take the deep dive into their journey toward wellness. I provide insight-oriented therapy to older teens and adults who are interested in making core level changes, breaking generational cycles, and developing deeper connections with self and others.

Loss is an underlying reason many of my clients seek counseling. Some have lost a part of who they were before overwhelming life events occurred. Some are helping professionals who give so much in their work or life they are experiencing traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, burnout, or vicarious trauma. Some are experiencing the loss of a family structure they were familiar with. Others have experienced an unexpected traumatic loss of a loved one to suicide, homicide, or sudden death.

It can be difficult to ask for support, especially when you aren't sure how it all works. I will work with you to create a treatment plan that makes sense to you and meets your unique goals. Jenn values creating an authentic therapeutic relationship and creating space for vulnerability in treatment. Jenn believes that regardless of age, race, or gender identity, counseling can be a profound and meaningful experience for any person. Jenn strives to provide a judgment-free environment for her patients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Jenn believes that authenticity, humor, and trust are essential.

Are you living with anxiety and panic attacks? Is anxiety ruining your life? Does your stress seem to be more than usual? Anxiety is our bodys way of telling us that things are off balance. Avoiding activities and friends wont make it go away. It just makes it get stronger. Are you sick and tired of feeling on edge or scared? It is time to get free of the hold anxiety or panic has on you. You deserve a happiness.

This time of year can be very challenging to keep and hold boundaries. Know that you are not alone in this and there are many strategies that can allow for you to feel in control. My individualized treatment plan would focus on understanding where you feel comfortable and safe, then we will look at the growth edges to find where you can continue to blossom.

Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of self-criticism, leading to persistent feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness? Do your emotions sometimes overwhelm you, resulting in reactions that feel disproportionate to the situation? Navigating relationships can become even more challenging when affected by family dynamics. Maybe you have been having concerns with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief/ loss, life transitions, career/school stress, self-harm, and relationship challenges. Perhaps you’ve become discouraged by your attempts to help yourself. That’s what I’m here for.

Being able to witness the power of community care helped shape my own devotion to social justice, wellness, and helping individuals find healing at their pace. Navigating this world as a queer black clinician has also granted me many opportunities to work with clients who are also often placed in bubbles that can be hard to maneuver away from. I work primarily with those who are looking to work through anxiety, grief, loss, trauma, coping skills, self-esteem navigation, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ exploration, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence.

Do you feel like something needs to change in your life, but you can’t seem to figure out what that “something” is or where to begin? I would be honored to partner with you to access those things that bring you joy, clarity, and peace.

As your therapist, I seek to co-create a space in which you can share all parts of yourself in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of who you are. I know that choosing to engage in therapy is often both a courageous and vulnerable decision, making the therapeutic relationship fundamental to the experience. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, building coping skills, self-exploration and awareness, and a justice framework. I believe that context always matters, and it is necessary to understand both the external and internal circumstances impacting your ability to thrive.
