About me

Hi there, my names is Meghan Skidmore and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Northern Illinois. I have 18 years of experience as a clinical social worker. I have previously worked with children in mental health crisis as well as with children and families involved with the child welfare system. I also have worked the past 15 years as a school social worker, working with children and families to help them be successful in and out of the school setting.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I will meet you where you are in your life. We will work together to help you start to identify and move forward with your goals and achieve your dreams. I enjoy building on your strengths to help you overcome your struggles. I focus on healing past hurts, and looking to the future with optimism and perseverance. I work from a client centered, strengths-based approach and look forward to helping you reach your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I use a variety of techniques in my practice based on the client's needs and goals. I have worked with Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Systems, theory, Strengths-based theory, mindfulness, Social-thinking, Solution-focused therapy, etc. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and build your trust in me. I hope to help others find their best true self.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love to meet and work with all ages of clients. Currently, I have worked with ages 3-60 in the home, school, community, and in the clinical setting. I am excited to see how I can help clients to become a better version of themselves and to work towards their goals and dreams. I look forward to continuing to build my practice with Grow and helping others along the way.
