All Savers Therapists in Illinois

My name is Rene Stockton (pronounced Reni). I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois. I serve my community as a counselor, therapist and change agent. I have had the privilege to work with individuals and families from primarily underserved populations and communities over the course of a 30 year social work practice in two great American cities. I have encountered child, adolescent and adult challenges ranging from trauma to writer’s block and wellness. I will partner with you to create the soft and more concrete changes you are looking to achieve in your life. My style is open, supportive and person centered, we will choose the approach for your situation using a variety of theories and concepts including art, movement, and EMDR.

As you embark on your journey, therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore, understand and challenge life experiences that shape our identities and perceptions of the world. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience working in the heart of Chicago, providing therapy and other clinical services to individuals struggling with severe mental illness and addiction, I approach therapy from a holistic and multicultural perspective. As a Mexican and Filipino American woman, I draw on my personal experiences to better understand how cultural factors influence our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. My goal is to build a respectful and collaborative partnership with my clients to support them on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. I firmly believe in addressing presenting issues by understanding the whole person, rather than just focusing on the problem. Using a strengths-based approach, along with evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches, I work with my clients to identify thought patterns, regulate emotions, and build self-awareness to foster healing and self-compassion. I earned my Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in Mental Health from the Jane Addams College of Social Work, and have worked in a variety of settings, including residential care for addiction, outpatient addiction treatment facilities, and community mental health care. My diverse experiences and training have enabled me to build a creative work space that centers the person as a whole, providing a healing space where individuals can feel heard, honored, and understood.

Emotional wellness is a part of everyone's life, and we all may benefit from help from time to time.

As a Latina and Brazilian, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work, with fluency in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English.

Together, we'll work to challenge and reshape narratives that no longer serve you, build tools for resilience, and celebrate the strengths you bring. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep commitment to honoring each client’s unique cultural experiences.

After graduating with my MSW in 2019 from the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, I have been pursuing my passion of providing high quality therapeutic care to those who have experienced chronic, complex trauma and are now wanting to break the cycle and heal. I am a firm believer that trauma impacts our whole beings. And left untreated, trauma takes an emotional and physical toll that wreaks havoc on our mind, bodies, and spirits. My goal is to be a part of that journey towards healing.

Hola, soy Liz! I'm a bilingual (fluent in Spanish) licensed clinical social worker and certified alcohol and drug counselor based in Illinois, and my approach to therapy is person-centered with trauma-informed care. This means that I believe you have both the desire and ability to reach self-actualization through personal growth and change, while also considering the impacts of trauma on a person. I became a therapist because of my own life experiences, which have sparked a curiosity in me to get to know the unknown. My own ongoing journey of growth and self-awareness enriches my practice with clients, as it deepens my understanding and compassion towards their own experiences. I identify as Chicana and Mexican-American, which is something that I say with honor and gratitude today. As a daughter of immigrants, I have my own unique experience with growing up in 2 very different cultures, languages and communities, and I'm passionate about advocating for the mental and emotional wellness in our Latinx communities. In our sessions, we'll explore a range of themes, like family and relationship patterns, life stressors, and how your past has impacted you. I specialize in working with people who often feel overwhelmed with heavy emotions or life stressors. Whether that's due to past experiences, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or feelings of hopelessness, together, we can make space for healing. As a bilingual therapist, I also focus on exploring cultural identities and generational patterns within families, providing a safe and compassionate space for exploration and understanding.
