I am a trauma-informed therapist who supports adults in reconnecting with themselves when life has felt overwhelming, demanding, or depleting for a long time. Many of the people I work with feel deeply, think deeply, and care deeply—and as a result, they may experience chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, emotional fatigue, or a sense of being disconnected from who they truly are. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I believe therapy works best when it feels human, relational, and supportive rather than clinical or judgmental. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to slow down, reflect, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface—at a pace that feels right for you. I integrate somatic awareness, mindfulness, and evidence-based psychotherapy to help clients better understand their inner world and develop practical tools for everyday life. This means we may pay attention not only to thoughts and emotions, but also to how stress, patterns, and past experiences show up in the body. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, emotional regulation, self-trust, and resilience. I draw from integrative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and holistic frameworks, always tailoring therapy to your goals, strengths, values, and lived experience. I am especially mindful of working in a non-pathologizing way, supporting you without viewing you as broken or in need of fixing. I am based in Illinois and hold a Master of Social Work from Aurora University and a B.A. in Creative Writing and English from Southern New Hampshire University.

Life has a way of presenting challenges that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the path forward. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MBA and over a decade of experience, I bring both clinical expertise and a practical, solution-focused approach to help you navigate whatever you’re facing. My commitment is simple: I’ll listen deeply, meet you where you are, and work alongside you to identify actionable steps that move you from feeling stuck to making meaningful progress toward your goals. My path to becoming a therapist has been driven by a deep sense of purpose. I've always felt most authentic when helping others find their way through difficult times. This calling led me to earn my Master's in Clinical Social Work, and my commitment to growth and innovation inspired me to complete an MBA as well. For the past nine years, I've dedicated myself to serving veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I've worn many hats: conducting street outreach, securing housing for homeless veterans, building community coalitions for suicide prevention, and currently serving in a leadership role similar to Chief of Staff. This work has given me invaluable perspective on resilience, trauma, and the power of human connection. I bring all of this experience to my private practice, where I see clients on weeknights and weekends, offering the same level of dedication and care that has defined my career.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Megan Allegretti, and I am so proud of you for considering the incredibly difficult step of seeking mental health therapy. In an effort to make this process feel less intimidating, here are some things about me, to see if my approach is a solid fit for you. My approach works with the intention to aid in healing from the distress in your mental and emotional world. Often we create various behavioral patterns in life, that worked at some point, but now you notice them becoming maladaptive. We will look at becoming more internally aware of systems that are not cutting it anymore for you, why those patterns evolved in the first place. With this understanding it can aid in identifying the function of behaviors, and better aid with implementing new skills in its place. My goal for treatment is to come with you along your journey, so you will not have to feel alone. I will also provide skills, education, processing, and perspectives you might not be able to see from your angle. If this feels like a good fit for you, please reach out to set up an intake together.

In my clinical work, I gain perspective and understanding of real-life challenges of clients that have experienced personal struggles. 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 life issues. The goal is to best support the client to recognize what they need out of therapy.

Hi, I'm Heather! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and I have been working in the field of mental health since graduating with my Master's in 2009. I have worked as a crisis intervention counselor with teens, and, more recently, I have been working in private practice with teens and adults from various backgrounds since 2017. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri - Columbia. After graduating, I then earned my Master's degree in Community Counseling from Concordia University - Chicago. From there, I started working with people to help them make the changes needed to improve their lives - and I have never looked back! I truly enjoy what I get to do for a living and would feel privileged and honored to have the opportunity to work with you to improve your mental and emotional wellness! Whether seeking therapy for the first time or continuing your journey towards improved mental health, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support you as you work on your personal goals. MY goal is to cater your therapy experience to what you need, focusing on where you are at in your life and where you ultimately want to be. Using an eclectic blend of treatment methods (including CBT and person-centered among others), I focus on compassionate and empathic care designed with your needs in mind. Whether wanting to develop coping strategies for mental health concerns like depression and anxiety, to learn how to manage stress well, or to forge a deeper understanding of how and why life's experiences impact day-to-day functioning, my hope is to collaborate with you every step of the way to reach whatever goal(s) you may have.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Illinois rather than a city like Chicago?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Illinois. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Illinois from Rockford to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Illinois.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on ADHD?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, ADHD, is filtering therapists in Illinois that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
