Hello! My name is Gayle. I am kind and warm, but honest and straightforward. My therapeutic approach is non-judgmental, meaning I will meet you with empathy and understanding, regardless of the issues that are causing you distress. At times, life's stressors seem insurmountable, and it feels as though it’s difficult to just get through the day. I can help guide you toward a resolution and healing. I am adept at working with individuals or couples with a variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, relational conflict, trauma, life transitions, and I specialize in OCD and BiPolar Disorders.

I"m a LCSW who helps individuals, couples, and families create relationships that feel safe, steady, and connected. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and practical. I believe people don't need perfection - They need clarity, effective tools, and a therapist who shows up with warmth and a grounded presence. I help clients understand what's happening in their nervous system, why certain patterns keep repeating, and how to shift those patterns in ways that feel sustainable. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship conflict, being emotionally overwhelmed, or developmental trauma, I offer a calm , structured space where you can slow down, make sense of your experience, and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. My work integrates solutions grounded in trauma informed practices, attachment theory and systems work. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) therapy as well as Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS). But more importantly, I tailor therapy to the person in front of me. You won't get jargon or judgement. You will get clear guidance, steady support, and strategies you can use in real life... with your partner, your kids, your coworkers and yourself. Clients often share they appreciate my calm presence and straightforward style. I am not here to talk at you; I am here to walk with you. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience of navigating a blended family, parenting neurodiverse children, and building healthy communication in high stress environments. I understand what it feels like to want change but feel stuck in old cycles. If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and committed to helping you grow, I would be honored to work with you. Together we will build clarity, connection and spark change - one step at a time.

Entering the world of personal psychotherapy can be an exciting, yet a foreboding area, if you've not had that opportunity previously, I believe that my first goal is to be welcoming to each and every person. Over some weeks, we will explore your inner pursuits which will help you feel more comfortable in who you are and who you desire to be. For me personally, being alongside you, is a privilege that few people get to have, so I treat it as a sacred opportunity. Helping individuals reach their potential or heal a broken heart is an enormous responsibility, but also one a therapist will approach with care and encouragement.

I would describe myself as warm, honest, and practical. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, while also helping you take meaningful steps toward the life you want. Every person already has strengths within them, even when stress, pain, or old patterns make those strengths hard to access. In our work together, I will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I will also be direct when needed. I do not believe therapy is about judgment, but I do believe growth often requires accountability, honesty, and a willingness to try new ways of thinking and responding.

Hi — I’m Seth. Many of my clients come to me because they find themselves stuck in patterns of unhealthy relationship dynamics — whether in long-term or new romantic partnerships, within their families, or in the ways they relate to others in general. I specialize in relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma, and have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of personal struggles. My approach is grounded in authenticity, acceptance, and curiosity. I offer unconditional positive regard and strive to create a space where you can explore your experiences openly and safely — without judgment or pretense. I bring a gentle, respectful, and thoughtful presence to therapy, encouraging emotional awareness, self-compassion, humor, and a sense of celebration as essential ingredients for growth and healing. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. Outside of therapy, I enjoy playing the cello, guitar, and piano, spending time outdoors, and perfecting my deviled egg recipe.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a rich and varied background, I bring extensive experience and expertise to support individuals, couples, and families on their journey toward improved mental well-being. From my private practice in Naperville, Illinois, I offer personalized therapy, drawing upon my diverse clinical experiences spanning over two decades. My commitment to fostering inclusive education and promoting diversity and social justice extends beyond the therapy room, as evidenced by my involvement in community education and advocacy efforts. With a focus on empowerment and resilience, I strive to empower clients with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate life's challenges and thrive.

I believe that everyone has inherent strength. While I can be direct and to the point, I understand that this conversation is about your life, not mine. I also believe in the power of laughter and that everyone is capable of leading their best life. I live in a multi dog/cat/parrot household and odds are good you will not just hear them but may occasionally see them. No worries they don’t judge and have been sworn to HIPAA secrecy.

I am a strength-based, cognitive-behavioral therapist and provide my clients with helpful strategies and tools to feel better overall. As an Ordained Minister at New Life Covenant, it has been a great honor and privilege to work with the hurting in the Humboldt Park Community. I love my job as a therapist. Helping people struggling with mental health issues find relief and joy once again is my greatest joy. Faith is really important to me. I work every day to grow in my personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Without him, I would not be the man I am today. He has made me a better husband, father, minister, and therapist. Grow in my faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Be the best husband I can be to the woman that deserves to be honored and respected, provide my daughters and grandchildren with Godly wisdom to help them be the best they can be, and help my clients become stable, heal, and reach their goals.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing in a variety of settings for 20 years. I enjoy working with clients and families to build upon skills and resilience that will serve them in their treatment journey. I have extensive experience treating trauma, mood disorders, self harm / suicidal thinking, anxiety and addiction. I believe clients can and should thrive in the therapeutic experience.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist whose work is shaped by both lived and professional experience. As an immigrant and former refugee, I understand that healing does not happen outside of context. My work is relational, culturally responsive, and grounded in helping clients make sense of what they have carried, understand repeating patterns, and move with more clarity and self-trust. I bring warmth, honesty, curiosity, and directness into the room while honoring the culture, identity, relationships, and systems that shape each client’s story.

Starting counseling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to turn. You may be carrying stress, anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty about the future—and wondering how to make sense of it all. My role is to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can pause, reflect, and begin to feel more grounded. Counseling isn’t about having all the answers right away—it’s about creating room for growth, clarity, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

As a therapist who values mental, emotional, and behavioral health my goal in working with clients is to help them identify the best strategies, perspectives and mindsets to enjoy the life they lead.

It is about communicating what is working or what is not working and adjusting accordingly.

Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to get to know me. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience, and my counseling is built on both professional training and a strong foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. I believe lasting healing and peace come when we bring our struggles to Him and align our lives with His truth. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families through many different seasons of life. A large part of my work has been with those experiencing anxiety—helping clients uncover what triggers their fears, offering practical tools for managing anxious thoughts, and reminding them of God’s promises of peace and strength. I also enjoy walking alongside couples and individuals who are navigating relationship challenges. Communication is often one of the hardest hurdles, and I help clients learn to listen with grace, speak with honesty, and build stronger, Christ-centered connections. In addition, I work with youth and young adults as they face the pressures of growing up, making big decisions, and finding their way. It is such a joy to guide them toward wisdom, confidence, and faith in who God created them to be. I deeply value working with older adults, helping them navigate transitions, loss, or the unique challenges of aging while holding onto the hope and purpose God gives in every season of life. No matter your age or situation, my heart is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and encouraged. Together, we will seek God’s wisdom and develop practical steps to help you move forward with greater peace, purpose, and hope.

As a child, I always wanted to pursue a career where I could assist with an individual’s growth, creativity and happiness. I learned at a young age the struggles that life can bring, not only through the inevitable, but also through situational traumas that we at times have to face and endure. Being an active member in the clinical field of helping professionals, I have certainly learned the importance of patience, empathy and peace. Identifying and securing ones’ purpose in life, creates the true masterpiece of one’s story. My goal is to assist you in your journey to self-actualization. ​

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois, with over 30 years of experience in the field. I obtained my Doctoral and Masters degrees in counseling education from Argosy University and Northeastern Illinois University, respectively.

I'm passionate about helping individuals become the best versions of themselves and making a positive impact on their lives.

Welcome to La Conseillère Creative's | Studio in Situ Art Therapy | Contemporary Counseling | Executive Coaching | Micro -> Macro Systems Consulting I'm EC an Art Therapist (MAAT + MFA), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Certified Domestic Violence Counselor specializing in Trauma Informed Psycho-education and creative care modalities for adults, couples, families & kids. Prior to achieving this ABC Soup of credentials I identified mostly as an artist, social impact entrepanuer, designer and community activator. My work exists at the intersection of radical self-expression, relational aesthetics, and ergonomic systems. For more than a decade, I have worked with individuals navigating the human condition in the context of a sublime horror we know as the American dream. I work especially well with creativly curious, intellectually restless, hard workers or entrepreneurs, and those who have felt alienated by social roles, institutions, or purely medicalized approaches to mental health. Many of my clients are perceptive, skilled and capable, yet feel fragmented, overextended, creatively blocked, or disconnected from achieving self-actualization. My approach is collaborative, experiential, and structurally aware. I believe psychological health cannot be separated from holistic wellness, environment, labor, relationships, embodiment, culture, or material conditions. Together we examine not only symptoms, but the broader natural & constructed ecosystems we inhabit. We investigate mobility through social and emotional "life worlds", the narratives one has inherited, our survival strategies, what we find valuable, beautiful and how we make meaning with a life's worth of raw material. Alongside clinical practice, I have developed community-based art and advocacy projects with justice system-impacted individuals, survivors of violence, as well as alternative labor communities. Across all of this work runs a shared question: how do human beings maintain dignity, imagination, agency, community and connection under difficult conditions?

I have always had a strong passion to see marriages and families thrive and succeed in today's society. It is my hope to do the same for you.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and burnout. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, and work toward goals that align with your values and vision for your life.

I have not taken the traditional route in my life to get to this career, but I am so thrilled to be here. I have a background in journalism and secondary education. I believe my background and experience offers a unique perspective when working with clients. I have been licensed for over five years now and consider myself a lifelong learner. Pets are my favorite part of telehealth counseling! Since I work from home, there may be occasional disruptions from my pets. Your animals are always welcome to join a session! (I am currently looking for office space in the Peoria, IL area)

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I received my Masters in Counseling from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. I have been practicing for that past 15 years. Much of my work has been in residential and PHP/IOP settings working with individuals with co-occurring issues, most often complicated by trauma. My goal is the help individuals see their own intrinsic value and guide them toward feeling empowered again.

I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach. Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy. I found these approaches are a great synthesis of neuroscience, trauma, and creativity.

I have found that many people enter therapy not because of a complex mental health issue but because of a general feeling of life not being what they would like it to be. I've been there. Many years ago I embarked on my own personal growth journey and I believe that has made me a more compassionate, empathic therapist. I am very active in the therapeutic process and give direct feedback and suggestions for implementing lifestyle changes. I have been a therapist for over 30 years, specializing primarily in depression/anxiety, relationship issues, and addiction/alcoholism. I believe that pain shared is pain lessened and that people can and do recover from issues that have been troubling them for years. I work with individuals and couples. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach. Think you're ready to start making the changes that you've been thinking about for quite some time? Call me. Let's talk about it. Evening and weekend appointments are available.

My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and cared for—exactly as you are. I work with my clients to help them feel successful in this season of life, whatever that may look like for you. I have experience working with a diverse population of clients across all ages and life stages. Whether you are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, or relationship challenges, I believe healing begins with feeling understood and supported. Therapy is not about fixing you—it’s about walking alongside you as you gain insight, strength, and confidence in yourself.

When life be Life'n and you feel that you are in a choke hold, struggling to catch your breath, that’s when support matters most.

Hello, I’m Karim Escobar-Franklin, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I provide trauma-informed, strengths-based therapy to help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, parenting concerns, and life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to build on their strengths and create meaningful change.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing is about more than reducing symptoms—it’s about helping you reconnect with the person you were always meant to be. If you’ve been living in survival mode, carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, know that healing is possible. My goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and supported as you move toward lasting emotional wellness. I provide trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy that honors the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and relationships. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for couples. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor treatment to your unique experiences, strengths, values, and goals, recognizing that every healing journey is different. Many of the people I work with have spent years putting everyone else’s needs before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-worth, burnout, unresolved trauma, grief, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Others are navigating difficult relationships, divorce, parenting challenges, or significant life changes and want healthier ways to cope. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck and begin creating new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding that support the life you want to build. Our work together will focus on understanding how past experiences continue to influence your present. We’ll explore the beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns that developed as protective strategies while learning practical skills to regulate your nervous system, manage stress, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, strengthen self-trust, and cultivate resilience. My goal is not simply to help you feel better in the moment, but to help you create meaningful, sustainable change that lasts long after therapy ends.

You are driving the boat, and my job is to prepare you for rough waters and things that might trip you up. I view therapy as a collaboration between us, and a journey that moves at your pace.

Treatment includes a broad range of issues relating to anxiety, depression, communicaton, life transitions, and improving self-esteem. My assessments include evaluating the clients Mind, Body, and Spirit and improving their lives to function at the highest level they ever have in their life.

In 2008, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. After 10 months of treatment, I realized I wanted to work with other cancer fighters and their loved ones. Since my career change to social work and therapy, my experience has broadened to include refugee resettlement, hospice social work, medical social work, and trauma-informed therapy. I am passionate about supporting my clients through grief, trauma, chronic and terminal illness, anxiety, depression, couples counseling, family therapy, and parent training. My goal is to foster an environment where my clients feel supported, validated, and empowered.
