I meet my clients where they are by providing a safe space for them to be vulnerable, and together, we are able to address the barriers that are impacting their quality of life. I recognize that each individual has unique goals and needs, so my approach to therapy is person-centered, which recognizes the client as the expert in their own life.

I have a specialized interest in helping clients with chronic illness and pain to navigate the medical system, develop self-compassion, and adjust to their health needs.
Life is heavy when we’re carrying our difficult past experiences through each day. Depression and grief can leave us feeling numb, isolated, or struggling for meaning. Anxiety and panic can make it feel impossible to navigate our worlds with comfort and flexibility. What happens once we’ve named these feelings and they haven’t become easier to manage? I combine practical coping skills, evidence-based interventions, and insight-oriented exploration to help you find peace, integrity, and meaning in your life. Guidance is tailored to your cultural, personal, and clinical needs.

I have extensive experience helping those who are managing depression, anxiety, peer/relational problems, family issues, academic difficulties, chronic illness, and more.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15+ years as a child/adolescent therapist, I enjoy working across the developmental lifespan from childhood into emerging adulthood/emerging parenthood. Families typically come to us when they notice their child is struggling in ways that feel hard to manage at home, in school, or socially. This might look like frequent meltdowns, withdrawal, anxiety, difficulty focusing, defiance, or trouble coping with big feelings. Parents often seek support because they want to better understand their child and feel more confident in how to help them thrive.

Are you having trouble ‘getting’ your brain and/or body to cooperate? This is a struggle common if you are living with insomnia, ADHD, or chronic medical conditions. If you have insomnia, chances are you have put forth every effort one can think of toward solving your sleep issues only to find limited success or even escalating symptoms. If you have ADHD, chances are you are really great at challenging or interesting tasks but struggle with the mundane - like laundry or routine paperwork. Wanting so badly to implement the things that are important to you but having them feel out of reach can be painful. But this can change!

My name is Jillian and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that specializes in trauma. If you are struggling with grief or loss, I would be honored to be the person that works through it with you. Many people tie grief and loss to death, but these experiences are often associated with other losses such as jobs, friendships, relationships, etc. I love to listen and work out of a humanistic perspective.

My name is Christian, and welcome to my practice. Parakaleo is a Koine Greek word that means “to call alongside.” It was a way to describe a counselor – one who walks alongside you to encourage, strength, and comfort. In a digital age when everyone is becoming more connected but alone at the same time, it is hard to discern the competing voices inside your mind and heart. I hope to walk alongside you during this season to help you find that voice inside that you need hear, and unlock its resonance – in your challenges, passions, and relationships.

Chronic Illness Therapists
How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.

Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.

What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.

How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
