Licensed to practice in Illinois and accepts 37 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Self Esteem, Women's Issues and 5 more.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois, and I am a virtual practice. I received my Masters from the Loyola University Chicago and have been in this industry for almost 20 years. I help young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and childhood-trauma become the best versions of themselves. I very much like a positive and strength-based approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance in your life and it starts with improving self-esteem.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Homework is not out of the question! Some clients tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend, and also realize there has been growth in the conversation, and noticed they have tapped into all their strength.
Having worked with women for the past 5 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with women who may be experiencing anxiety. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers, family, self-esteem, and relationships.

I try to use this as often as I can in my practice to engage clients in realizing they already have what's needed inside them. In collaboration with the client I try to help guide them back to the light they already have. The client is the expert in this treatment, and when working together we will set attainable goals to get them back to who they think they may have lost along the way.
With this therapy modality I listen for strengths that the client may not even realize is there due to the overhanging issue. I began to show the client what I can see from my aerial view, so they can realize how powerful they are and can be.

Today was my first session with Kinya M Lucas-Brown and I immediately felt comfortable. I was nervous about opening up but her presence was so warm, welcoming and genuine that I felt I could be myself without judgement. I look forward to upcoming sessions as I learn to forgive, love and move forward.

My first session revealed things I never knew was lying dormant for over 35 years. We made a major breakthrough. Kinya is warm and extremely knowledgeable. I am so grateful for the session.

Kinya has a beautiful spirit and I love being able to talk to her. She is very welcoming and gives her honest opinion and I love that. I highly recommend Kinya.
