Therapists in Illinois

I love working with people who are feeling the weight of anxiety or depression and are ready to take steps toward change. 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. I’ll be here to walk alongside you, offering support and guidance as you navigate the ups and downs of the process.

I am a bilingual therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life transitions, relational challenges, and emotional overwhelm. My work is grounded in attachment-based and systemic approaches, with a strong cultural and relational lens that honors each client’s unique context and story. I provide a compassionate, reflective, and collaborative space where clients can explore emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen meaningful relationships, and move toward greater emotional balance and well-being.

Have you ever felt like you were standing in the middle of the road knowing you can’t go backward but not sure which way to turn? Have you asked yourself “what if,” questions that further complicated the thoughts in your mind and initiated fear in your heart? Have you disrupted relationships due to an inability to trust others or yourself? If you have been here, you are not alone. Together we can take steps forward to walk a path with excitement to heal wounds that have hurt you. We will walk the path together at a pace you can handle, taking the puzzle pieces one at a time, and creating the picture you want for yourself. I have worked with an array of populations who have experienced a number of challenging issues of self-esteem, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use, domestic violence, relationship issues, adjustment to life changes, and identifying issues. I earned my degree from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and worked in several domains that have aided the work I have done over the course of 20 years.

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. I am Dr. Chaney, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LCPC) based in Chicago. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, grief, self-doubt, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I earned my doctoral degree in Counseling Education and Supervision from Governors State University, as well as my master’s and undergraduate degrees from Chicago State University. My goal is to provide a safe, understanding space where you can feel heard, safe and empowered to move forward.

Currently I am only accepting new clients who are trans. I am a trans and queer Licensed Clinical Social Worker and artist with 15 years of experience in community mental health. My approach is that all people deserve to have the opportunity to experience a safe, kind, and welcoming space to explore their mental health, and that as a therapist, it is my job to nurture that. I am driven to create therapeutic opportunities for people who want and need them within the LGBTQ2IA+ community. I am open to working with clients that find themselves in need of an understanding, compassionate, and community-oriented therapist who will help to guide them through healing work. My areas of focus are: LGBTQ2IA+ and TGNC youth and emerging adults, major life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, gender dysphoria, and sexual identity exploration. I completed my Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Arts in Gender Studies (MA) degrees concurrently at Loyola University Chicago. Before entering graduate school, I worked in multiple positions focused on reproductive justice, body autonomy, and community care. My life and professional experiences have led me to provide therapy with a focus on community care through an anti oppressive lense. I understand that helping one person can have a positive impact on the greater community surrounding them. I believe that treatment approaches should fit the individual's needs and thus I utilize many modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, somatics, and narrative therapy. My approaches of curiosity and kindness create a welcoming space to engage in therapy. Choosing to work with a therapist is a powerful way to help yourself and we all deserve a chance to have focused time to explore, learn, and grow through challenges.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker serving individuals in Illinois, Texas, and South Carolina. My background includes working with families who have faced abuse, neglect, and legal challenges.

“Life is what happens after we make plans”. I believe life has a way of bringing us to feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, or can become overwhelming causing change at a rapid rate. When these difficulties occur they can lead to depression, anxiety or feeling as though you can not move forward. At times like these it can be helpful to address theses with someone who will help you to begin to move forward again. Therapy is a solution to life’s plans that were not a part of the ones you laid out for yourself. Therapy can get you back moving forward. I am here to get you on that track. I have been in the field of mental health for over seven years. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social work from Loyola University in 2013. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois specializing in treating those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, behavioral issues, and couples counseling.

Together we will work on strategies that will allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful social connections. Using an eclectic approach through psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, attachment, mindfulness and other evidence-based approaches, we will develop more strength in you to get back to a healthier mental focus. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I help adults navigate life when it feels overwhelming, stressful, or just plain hard. I show up to therapy as a real person first—someone who understands that life doesn’t always go as planned and that feeling stuck, anxious, or burned out is part of being human. As a licensed therapist and a United States Air Force Veteran, I bring both clinical experience and personal insight, so I understand the weight of responsibility, pressure, and unspoken stress that many adults carry every day. My approach is kind, steady, and honest. You don’t need to have it all figured out before coming in. I meet you where you are, and together we slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and build practical, everyday tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. I’m especially drawn to working with adults who feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of their next step, or juggling demanding schedules, relationships, or work pressures. Therapy with me goes beyond talking; we explore patterns, gently untangle what’s keeping you stuck, and work toward real, meaningful change at a pace that honors your life and capacity. This is a space where you can breathe, feel seen, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been overlooked or pushed aside. If you’ve been thinking about reaching out, I have daytime openings this week, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step.
