Wheaton, IL - Accepting clients in IL

Hi there, I'm Katie! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. If you have been noticing that feeling of never being caught up or always tired regardless of how much sleep you get? Or maybe you are having some doubts around your current relationship? Family stress or unsure how to implement boundaries? I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, adoption, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I will support you in exploring your history and uncovering patterns you may not even be aware of so that you can begin to have more control of your emotions and be excited about your life and relationships again. I know from my years of experience working with individuals that you have the ability to make big changes in your life. If you are ready to do the work, you will be amazed at how capable you are to explore parts of yourself you never knew existed. The process of therapy can allow you to grow more quickly than you ever have before. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My clients are high-functioning, motivated, and committed to making changes in their life. I love providing them with tools and techniques so that they can reach their full potential and ultimately life the life they have been hoping for.

Sterling, IL - Accepting clients in IL

Hi, I’m Mel B! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from Aurora University in Social Work. For the past 10 years, I’ve helped young adults feel more confident, less stressed, and more in control of their lives—and I absolutely love it! My goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. I believe therapy should feel comfortable, safe, and real. I’ll meet you where you are, without judgment, and we’ll find what works best for you. I like to keep things flexible, using a mix of humor, practical tools, and mindset shifts. So, what is my mission? I specialize in working with millennials and Gen Z adults who struggle with: Big Life Decisions – Career changes, moving, grad school, and other major transitions. Relationship Anxiety – Dating, breakups, commitment fears, and finding healthy connections. Confidence & Overthinking – Trusting yourself, making decisions, and quieting self-doubt. Self-Care & Self-Compassion – Taking care of YOU in ways that actually feel good. When I’m not helping clients, I’m a wife and a cat mom to three adorable fur babies. I’m a huge Swiftie, an iced coffee addict, and I love reading young-adult romance books with dashes of humor and magic. I enjoy going for walks, planning future trips, and spending time with family and friends. I’m also a big dreamer—I love setting goals and going after them! If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, supportive, and will truly listen, I’d love to connect with you. Let’s work together to create a life that feels right for you!

Crystal Lake, IL - Accepting clients in IL

I provide collaborative telehealth counseling for male individuals and couples whose lives have been shaken by grief, relationship struggles, and shattered dreams. The unresolved pain and fear that come from just doin’ life often fuel behaviors that damage relationships—and can make life feel like a “cardboard dirt sandwich with a side of sawdust.” Using Narrative Therapy, I help clients separate themselves—and their loved ones—from the problems they face. We externalize the issues rather than internalize them. You are not the problem. Other people are not the problem. Problems are the problem. Your challenges don’t define you, but the way you interpret, address, and live with them profoundly shapes your identity, self-worth, emotional well-being, and behavior. I also draw from Existential, Rational-Emotive Behavioral, Client-Centered, and Gestalt Therapy approaches to empower you to become the expert on you. Together, we’ll reconnect with your values, dreams, skills, and desires—and design a life that reflects who you truly are and what you truly want.

Lewistown, IL - Accepting clients in IL

My name is Sabrina Turner. I trained at Bradley University and have 12 years of clinical experience. I focus on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD. Throughout my career I have worked with clients of all ages. I primarily use person centered techniques, but I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness depending on the client. In addition, integrative approaches are helpful to most people, which means we look at your overall nutritional and physical well being in conjunction with your mental health. Asking for help is never easy, but connection and relationships help us lead our best lives. My goal is to help you build healthier coping skills for yourself. What that looks like is different for everyone, but I want to help you find your own unique path. During our first session I will ask you to share some background information with me. It can be difficult to share, so please know that my number one goal is to give you a safe, nonjudgemental space to open up. In subsequent sessions we will dive deeper into your reasons for seeking therapy. We will explore techniques that are already working for you and add in new skills along the way. If you are looking for a clinician to walk alongside you while you discover yourself and how to be your best version, we will likely be a good fit!

Island Lake, IL - Accepting clients in IL

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and managing traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I also have extensive experience supporting teenagers who have experienced trauma, which led me to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I am currently a social worker for a small hospice team in my area so am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations. I believe in strengths-based recovery that looks at all the systems that can impact us. Bits and pieces of different models incorporated together tend to have the most benefit, based on the person's needs. I have seen so many great successes! I enjoy supporting the people I work with and going through their journey with them. I am currently licensed in both IL and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, road-tripping in the Jeep, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids. I look forward to connecting with you :)

Dunlap, IL - Accepting clients in IL

Hello and welcome! I am Kerry Heinz, a licensed clinical professional counselor with 18 years of experience working with children, teens, and their families. If you are a parent, Let's just take a minute to acknowledge your decision to reach out. Parenting is no easy task. I began working in this field before having children of my own. Now, I see how blessed I was to have learned about child development and behavior strategies before raising children. I choose to share what I know to build parent confidence as you navigate through common developmental challenges and sometimes more significant mental health problems. We achieve this together through Parent training in behavior management, typically with your child present. Also, through one on one sessions with your child to help your child understand feelings, solve problems and build skills needed to improve behavior and relationships outside of sessions. Certain methods of counseling therapy have been proven to help with various problems. We will work together to identify your most pressing concerns and the therapeutic interventions that will be best in treating them. I look forward to meeting you and your family. If you are a teenager reaching out. Take a minute to acknowledge your decision to reach out instead of isolating or holding in the things that are on your mind. It's a great first step in improving your mental health! I look forward to meeting you at our first session to learn more about you. If you're reluctant especially if you think your parent wants you in counseling more than you actually want to be there please know many have been where you are and have found counseling therapy to be a supportive place that has actually helped. What it will be for you remains to be seen.

Peoria, IL - Accepting clients in IL

I work to provide a safe, non-judgmental, culturally safe space where you can share, we can identify what isn't working, and implement the best practice interventions that work toward your goals. Curiosity about why we do what we do is helpful when we need to create different habits. Therefore we work on cultivating a sense of curiosity so we can learn how to identify what isn't working in our life anymore. When we are open to new possibilities, we reduce self-imposed limitations to improve our own life experiences. When we strengthen what we are already good at, we reduce the impact of our life challenges. When we integrate newly learned skills with existing skills, we tend to feel more hopeful about our future and increase our self-confidence. These changes can lead to adopting new ways of coping, learning how to view our challenges from new perspectives and using all of this to live your best life.

Accepting clients in IL

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a Bangladeshi American and Multicultural Woman, a daughter of two immigrants, an older sister, a pet-mom of two adorable cats, an artist, a singer, a 200 RYT certified yogini, a writer, a vegetarian, and a trauma psychotherapist who inspires healing through the arts. I strive to help you speak your untold truths so that you can begin to feed your hearts. In working with my clients, I found that healing is unequivocally about feeding our hearts with what brings us peace and ESPECIALLY what brings us joy. We all struggle to show up as ourselves—even I do as I am writing this—but I have chosen to unapologetically be myself so that you can be seen the way you deserve to be seen. For me, and for many of my clients, feeding ourselves with acts of joy are a personal and communal healing movement.

Research has repeatedly shown that the quality of the therapist-client relationship is the most significant predictor of a positive outcome. My style is direct but compassionate, relaxed yet professional. I believe in a collaborative approach, where you actively participate in your therapeutic journey. Together, we will work to understand the ‘whys’ behind your choices, your patterns of negative thinking and behaviors, and the extent of their impact on your daily functioning.
