Therapists in Illinois

If you've never been in therapy before, I know it can be a scary step. Be proud of your bravery. If you have been in therapy before, I'm glad you chose to return. Either way, my job is to help you find your strengths to learn to manage any issues you are dealing with so you can find your peace again. It is a journey and it won't always be easy but it will be worth it. I have been a therapist and a psychology professor for 30 years. I have worked with children, teens, and adults, although I have spent the majority of my career working with teens. I enjoy teens because I have a lot of patience for them. I believe in psychoeducation in therapy. I think that it's not only important to understand what you are doing but why you are doing it. Only by understanding both can you make the changes necessary for long-term happiness. I also believe in working on both the present and the past. I want to help you figure out how to make the present better immediately, while also working to understand anything from your past that may have helped lead to any current issues. Working on both in combination will give the most thorough explanation and avenue for effective treatment. Most importantly, I believe in working together. I may be the "expert" but only you know what is working and what isn't. I will ask you for feedback and I will listen to what you have to say. I am more than willing to do phone appointments if you find them more comfortable than video appointments. Just let me know.

Welcome, I am Chevonne Toney and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in practice for over 24 years. I have worked in a variety of different settings and helped a lot of people with their emotional health, mental illness and addressing their trauma. My approach to therapy is very client centered and I am trained in a variety of different approaches. I have a vast history of working with clients with ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety and Trauma in their backgrounds. I provide therapeutic services as well as education to assist clients with better understanding themselves, their condition and in some cases provided life coaching. My goal for my clients is to assist in healing from their symptoms/trauma and move forward to build a better life for themselves.

I want to make therapy as comfortable as possible. Coming to therapy can be an intimidating process. The last thing people want is some stuffy, uptight professional that makes people feel like they need to censor themselves. I pride myself in being warm, friendly, and relatable. I view therapy as a collaboration between the therapist and client. I will do my best to make your therapy experience positive. My role is to listen, teach, support, and collaborate with my clients. I have worked in a variety of settings since embarking on my journey as a mental health clinician including hospice care, domestic violence, community mental health, intensive outpatient, and urgent mental healthcare. My preference is to work with mature adolescents and adults of all ages both in person and virtually.

I am an accredited trauma therapist (APT) and I am trained in Narrative Therapy. Additionally, I am a "nerd" therapist. I want to hear about what you read, watch, play, etc. We can talk about cosplay and conventions and the like. I like to draw parallels between real life challenges and the stories that we read in books and see on TV and movies (you can expect me to mention the following: INSIDE OUT, ENCANTO, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, X-FILES, STAR WARS, STAR TREK, DOCTOR WHO, the MCU, etc, as well as the whole hero’s journey that we all take.) And I want to hear what stories keep you inspired and motivated. I want to know what you enjoy and feel passionate about. Our primary focus will be on what has brought you to therapy and what you want to work on but I know that there are many paths to these goals. As Tolkien said, “Not all who wander are lost.” So, we might wander a bit but we will wander together. At some point, during our virtual session, you will probably see one or both of my cats and your pets are welcome as well. Trans/queer friendly and welcoming.

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.

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.

Feeling like you’re carrying the weight of it all?

If you have seen the movie “Groundhog day” starring Bill Murray as Phil, you would say it is a comedy. But it is more.

Hi I'm Regina Do you know that everyone feels overwhelmed; especially now. Balancing family, work demands, and life is challenging. Everyone experiences these things differently and may need some reminding of their own strengths. I am a highly trained therapist with many years of experience helping clients realize their own potential. My approach is filtered through a culturally rich and ethnically diverse lens. I'm gentle, empathic and meet my clients where they are at. Building upon past coping mechanisms will enable you to develop and find more effective ways of managing life stressors. Look, I get that everyone has some level of depression and anxiety. There are many interventions we can use from the traditional methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused to the latest smart phone apps. I recognize that it will be hard work! But, through your hard work will be where true success comes.

Life doesn’t come with a map—and sometimes the road takes unexpected turns. Maybe you’ve hit a season that feels heavy, confusing, or lonely. You want to feel better, but you’re not sure where to begin. That’s where I come in. I’m Stacey Wright, a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience helping people find light in dark moments and hope when it feels lost. Together, we’ll sort through what’s weighing you down, uncover your strengths, and help you move toward a more balanced, peaceful, and joyful life. Therapy with me is a mix of real talk, gentle guidance, and creative problem-solving. I’ll meet you where you are—whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship stress, or just trying to make sense of a big life change. Together, we’ll sort through the tough stuff, build new tools, and uncover the strengths you already have (even if you can’t see them yet). If faith is part of your story, we can bring that into the process, too. I offer a space where your spiritual values can guide and strengthen your healing journey—but it’s always your choice, your pace, your path. My office is a space to breathe, cry, laugh, and start again—a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My goal is to help you find relief, balance, and maybe even a spark of joy again. When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me thrifting for hidden treasures, crafting something colorful, cheering on my favorite teams, or playing games with friends and family. Because life’s too short not to mix a little fun into the healing process! If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling better, I’d be honored to walk with you. Let’s begin this journey together.

My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in safe, attuned relationships. I integrate attachment theory, EMDR, psychodynamic insight, and emotion-focused techniques to help clients explore the roots of their struggles, process unresolved trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships—with themselves and others. Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship issues, childhood wounds, or overwhelming emotions, I offer a warm and collaborative space where all parts of you are welcome. I use an attachment lens to understand how early experiences shape current patterns, EMDR to target and reprocess painful memories, psychodynamic exploration to uncover unconscious dynamics, and emotion-focused work to deepen emotional awareness and resilience.

Life feels heavy right now. You’re carrying burdens you never expected, wondering where God is in the midst of it all. The dreams you once had feel distant, and the plans you believed were aligned with God’s will seem to have fallen apart. You’re trying to navigate the transitions, the questions, and the emotions, but it’s exhausting, and you feel alone in the struggle. I want you to know: you’re not alone, and this moment is no accident. God led you here to learn how much He's actually put inside of you, which are MANY things beyond your imagination!

My ideal clients are motivated to create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and connected. In our work together, we focus on managing symptoms, building confidence, learning to speak up for yourself, and strengthening your relationships. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be all serious all the time—finding moments of fun, lightness, and even laughter along the way can make the process that much more meaningful. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping people work through anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. I often use CBT and ACT to support clients in reaching their goals—focusing on challenging unhelpful thoughts, building effective coping skills for in-the-moment stress, and making it easier to process emotions. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel like a tough choice—but it’s also one of the most powerful ones you can make for yourself. You are worth the effort, the time, and the care it takes to feel better and build the life you want.
