LCSW, 20 years of experience
Hello! I am Lilly. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Missouri. I work within your level of comfort and seek to help you get from the place you are currently at, to the place you would like to be. Seeking therapy is putting yourself first, you deserve a space to heal and grow. In our sessions you will find a safe and non-judgmental space with a therapist who is going to listen directly to you and what you are feeling and experiencing. I will meet you with compassion and work with you to get to the root of your struggles through the use of trauma-focused therapy. I am trained as a certified trauma professional and specialize in the modality of EMDR.
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.
My area of expertise is working with those dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma. I have spent many years studying and training within these areas to be able to work individually with clients experiencing symptoms related to these diagnosis.
My clients are seeking assistance with facing and addressing challenges with the right tools. My clients are open to working on themselves inside sessions and outside sessions. My clients desire a change.
I use EMDR in processing disturbing incidents' the client has identified that connects to a negative emotional charge or body sensation.
I use CBT to assist you in identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies.
