Therapists in Naperville, IL

We could all use encouragement to unapologetically embrace our unique journeys while simultaneously striving to evolve into healthier and more fulfilled versions of ourselves. As a therapist, I provide a client-centered approach to collaboratively design and guide the therapeutic experience. Highly driven by sincerity and humor, I strive to create a climate that is safe, supportive, and culturally inclusive for all to pursue change. Therapy will be treated as an individualized experience in an empathetic, genuine, and non-judgmental manner.

Finding a therapist is often difficult and can feel overwhelming. Therefore, we strive to match you with a clinician who is the right fit for you in terms of style, expertise, and availability. Our team of caring and experienced clinicians provide individual, family, couples, and group psychotherapy. We specialize in areas such as trauma, relationship distress, anxiety, depression, coping with change/transitions, life-stress, and grief/mourning.

Welcome to a safe space where healing and growth flourish! I am Tilly-Ana, a dedicated therapist committed to supporting you on your journey towards well-being and emotional balance. I am an Evanston, IL native, Haitian American, and I speak Creole. The therapy journey is one of self-discovery, and I am here to provide a non-judgmental, confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will identify underlying patterns and develop coping strategies to empower you in facing life's obstacles.

It is not always easy to admit when we need help – and then to ask for it. Taking the step to seek therapy is an important one, and I want to help make it a positive experience for you. Sometimes our worlds on the inside and on the outside can leave us with overwhelming feelings that may not be easy to manage on our own, and you don’t have to. As you work with me, you will find that I am compassionate and easy to talk to. I support clients in a number of areas, including: trauma; questions around identity and expression; relationships; family of origin; life transitions; anxiety; and depression, to name a few.

I have always been fascinated with understanding how people think, how they have come to believe what they believe and how they have become who they are. I have come to realize that many people simply want to feel heard, understood and cared for. This is part of the reason why I became a counselor, along with wanting to help people and destigmatize mental health. Coming from immigrant parents who came to America to enable their children to live a better life than they did, to them that meant getting a practical & stable job. But with time I realized that I didn't want my life to be just practical – I also wanted it to be purposeful.
