Anxiety and depression impact your work, relationships, and personal goals. But with support, it is completely possible to feel better and manage these often-debilitating symptoms. I specialize in assisting adults with anxiety/depression to manage their symptoms and reduce the impact they have on their lives. This includes women who suffer from cyclical anxiety, depression, or anger in relation to their menstrual cycles (aka PMS/PMDD.)

Do you want to feel better and more in control of your life? Engaging in therapy can help! As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for children, adolescents, and adults to explore issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, loss, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Jessica “Jess” Krock is a licensed clinical social worker who received her Master of Social Work degree from Loyola after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Therapy is not a quick fix, but allows individuals to process issues at a comfortable pace within a safe, nonjudgmental & warm environment.

I respect your desire to want to be honest with yourself. I consider trust and warmth to be foundational principles in how I practice, yet I know trust can sometimes be a journey. A certain level of disillusionment occurs when your external world doesn't match your internal one. Restless and intrusive thoughts may be hindering your everyday joys or harsh flashbacks affecting your presence and sense of safety. A certain level of growth is wanted, but the pathway how to get there may seem unclear. This is where I can help. Building upon your already-existing skills and resilience, I work with you towards healing and purpose.

Have you ever heard “You don’t seem like yourself lately is something going on with you?” Or maybe someone suggested that you should talk to someone. If that is the case congrats on getting to this point. Sometimes we think that we have to be the strong one and handle things on our own. Or sometimes we rely on our friends/ family to hold our emotional pain. Talking to someone who is not your friend/ family can be very helpful. And that’s where I come in. I am Dr. Allen and I strive to empower, uplift and improve my clients’ daily lives. So if you find yourself worrying, feeling blue, irritable or doubting yourself, give me call.

My therapeutic approach is to fosters a space where the past, present, and future intersect in a way that healing, empowerment, and clear direction can flourish.

I employ evidence based practices, cultural sensitivity and awareness to assist you in achieving your therapeutic goals.

Smart Love Family Services is a team of experienced therapists providing supportive relationship based psychotherapy.

However, many find that they are not as happy as they wish. We help people create the kind of life that they want for themselves. At Smart Love, clients learn to turn away from self-sabotaging behaviors, and turn to self-caretaking and constructive coping choices for a more fulfilling life.

Difficulties, problems and failures are normal aspects of life and sometimes we don’t understand or relate to them very well. We formulate ideas, notions and perceptions about how life should, but inevitably life does get rocky from time to time. Counseling can offer the additional insight for self-discovery and newfound understanding. Eventually through a deeper understanding of our patterns and storylines more freedom and liberation is possible for finding our best self.

I am sex-positive, kink-affirming, LGBT+/GSM-affirming, and ENM/CNM/poly-affirming. I work with clients to notice, give attention, and slow down when the world wants us to ignore, distract, and speed up. By gently exploring family patterns and our ways of being in relationship, we can come to intriguing conclusions about ourselves and others. By cultivating and accessing community, self-compassion, and intimacy (both physical and emotional), we can heal from trauma, and lift ourselves out of even the darkest places.
