Teletherapy for Chicago, IL

I work best with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma or life stress. I prefer to work with clients who are interested in exploring together the root of the problem that impacts your life. We will explore together the goals you hope to achieve in therapy. I am here to partner with you to work through the issues that are causing you disruption in your life, and to help you meet your goals. This may include worksheets (outside of session), exploring cognitive stuck points (errors) that keep someone stuck in unhealthy patterns, and other interventions that can be useful in daily life.

I am delighted you found me here on Psychology Today. My ideal client comes from many different walks of life - children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

I work with my ideal client on anxiety, major depression, trauma, couples counseling, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), and substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

Do you feel overly stressed with life and its affiliated tasks? Are you at a point where you feel hopeless, anxious, and isolated amongst your struggles? Are you from the LGBTQIA+ community, struggling with self-acceptance and acceptance from others? Is it hard to identify your true self? You may be feeling lost and unable to rid yourself of these consuming, distressed thoughts. You want to start feeling energized, supported, and in control of your life.

Therapy is a space for big feelings, hard conversations, and laughing at ourselves when we can. We like to form connections with folks that feel supportive, brave, and most of all, REAL. At Bespoke Healing, we know therapy is going well when we see folks begin to step out in new ways and take risks to develop deeper bonds. We find it fruitful to explore how past traumas show up in current relationships, and our therapists are active in session as part of our relational style. We also help folks befriend their bodies as an important resource.

Do you find yourself needing a listening ear as you try your best to get through life's ups and downs? Or maybe you would like to revisit your past in a safe and calming space that makes you feel secure. Whatever the reason, everyone deserves to experience peace as they move forward in life. With time, genuine connection, and the hope that things can and will get better, transformation can begin. Welcome!

There are times in life where we all feel overwhelmed. Whether the day to day grind is wearing you down or overwhelming anxiety is making it difficult for you to leave the house, I am here to be on your side. I am a big believer that effective therapy is a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist and that healing is achieved by working together. I take an integrative approach to therapy, where I tailor the therapy to fit the needs of the client. I am also trained in EMDR therapy for trauma treatment and Gottman level 3 certified for couples work.

Therapy transformed my life when I was referred to a counselor years ago as a teen. Since then, I have wanted to provide this type of support and to serve as a guide for others through difficult times in life. I aspire to help my clients tap into their own inner strengths, so they can ultimately live more freely, fully and authentically. I take a client-centered approach, and help my clients identify their own goals for themselves.

Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We move from day to day with anxious thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Often our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of our own healthy well being.

Suffering is often the result of less than nurturing relationships and experiences. Fear can become imprisoned in the body. Family and culture can dictate how safe it is, or not safe, to express and be yourself. My immigrant experience from Taiwan allows me deeper empathy with people navigating life transitions and relating to different cultures and new relationships. At Embodied Way Psychotherapy PLLC, I strive to empower individuals within the context of systemic injustice and complications. My work is to provide compassion and wisdom so that you can feel fully alive and authentic in your body, your world and your relationships.

Pursing emotional and behavioral health isn't just meant to improve our lives, it's meant to change how we function in the world. The changes we make can spark change in our relationships, jobs, families and community. If only change was easy! Change often comes during times of pressure and struggle. Therapy is a tool to help you address these barriers head on and unearth skills and strengths need to help you meet your goals and thrive.

Accepting new clients! I help clients with their journey to become one's ideal self. I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing psychotherapy. My expertise is treating adults who struggle with anxiety/depression and are seeking to find a more meaningful life. I also enjoy working with new moms (as I too am a newer mom to a little one) and college students, faced with anxiety due to their life transition(s) which can bring on stress, depression, and/or anxiety with the many questions centering around, “What am I going to do next in my life?" "How do I navigate my new identity as a mother?"
