LCSW, 18 years of experience
Hi! My name is Jessica. I am a Clinical Social Worker with a Masters degree from U of I Chicago and my Undergraduate degree at U of I Champaign (I.L.L.). My clinical experience began right out of school in 2004 as a therapist for a foster care program. I have experience assessing crisis and referring to appropriate levels of care, inpatient and outpatient therapy and utilization/case management. I am generally laid back, compassionate, empathetic and genuinely motivated to help others become their best self.
Our first session will consist of discussing your motivation for treatment, gathering history and discussing a general plan moving forward.
I am very laid back. I will always start with where you are and will work with you on your terms. But, also gently push you in the direction towards growth :-)
he bulk of my experience is with children 3-17 who were in crisis; dealt with depression, anxiety and self esteem issues. I also have experience working with adults in the same capacity as well as dealing with relationships and aging. My personal goal is to always help people feel better.
I work best with those who wants to work on parenting support, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bullying, self esteem and personal growth.
